Outgrown — Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 23, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Outgrown uses cookies and similar technologies (like browser local storage). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
The short version: we only use what's strictly necessary to make Outgrown work and keep you logged in. We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not use third-party tracking or analytics cookies that follow you around the web.
1. What are cookies and local storage?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Local storage is a similar technology built into modern browsers that lets a web app save small amounts of information on your device. Both are common ways for websites and apps to remember things between visits.
2. What we use, and why
Outgrown uses only strictly necessary technologies — the kind without which the service simply would not work.
| What | Type | Purpose | Essential? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Login / session tokens | Browser local storage | Keeps you securely logged in as you move around the app, so you don't have to sign in on every page | Yes — strictly necessary |
| Basic preferences | Browser local storage | Remembers basic settings such as your chosen language | Yes — functional |
These are essential to providing a service you have asked for (using your account). Under EU rules, strictly necessary technologies like these do not require a consent banner — but we believe in telling you about them anyway.
3. What we do not use
- No advertising cookies. We don't run ads and we don't use ad-tracking cookies.
- No third-party tracking cookies. We don't let advertisers or data brokers track you through Outgrown.
- No cross-site tracking. We don't follow you around other websites.
If this ever changes — for example, if we add optional analytics in the future — we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent first.
4. Cookies set by our service providers
Some of the trusted providers we use to run Outgrown (such as our hosting and content-delivery providers) may set technical cookies that are necessary to deliver the service securely and reliably — for example, to balance traffic across servers or protect against abuse. These are technical and not used to track you for advertising. You can read more about who our providers are in our Privacy Policy.
5. Managing cookies and local storage
Because we only use strictly necessary technologies, there is no setting in Outgrown to turn them off — the service relies on them to keep you logged in. However, you remain in control through your browser:
- Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and local storage through their settings;
- If you clear Outgrown's local storage, you will simply be logged out and will need to sign in again;
- Blocking strictly necessary storage may stop parts of the service from working.
Check your browser's help pages for how to manage this (look for "cookies," "site data," or "local storage" in your privacy settings).
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, especially if we add new features. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will update this policy and seek your consent where the law requires it.

We keep it simple: just enough to keep you logged in, and nothing that tracks you.
