Cookie Policy — RustDash

What we use

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. RustDash uses three kinds of browser storage:

Cookies — only the ones needed to sign you in safely.
Local storage — your panel settings, kept on your device.
Offline cache — website files, so the panel loads faster and can be installed as an app.

We count page visits on our own server without cookies — see the Privacy Policy.

Cookies

All of them are first-party, HttpOnly (page scripts can't read them) and sent only over HTTPS. The panel can't work without them, so they can't be switched off.

token: Keeps you signed in to the panel. 7 days, or until you sign out.
google_oauth_state: Protects “Sign in with Google” from forged requests. 10 minutes, during sign-in only.
steam_oidc: Protects Steam account linking and Steam sign-in. 10 minutes, during sign-in only.

Offline cache

RustDash is an installable web app. Its service worker keeps copies of website files — scripts, styles, images — in your browser's cache, so pages open faster and the app can be added to your home screen. The cache holds no personal data.

Third parties

No third party sets cookies on rustdash.io. When you choose to sign in with Google or link Steam, you briefly go to their website, and their own cookie policies apply there.

The sign-in, sign-up and password reset forms show a Yandex SmartCaptcha check. It runs in a frame loaded from Yandex, which may use its own cookies or storage there under the Yandex privacy policy.

Managing and deleting

You can view and delete cookies and site data in your browser settings:

Deleting the token cookie signs you out. Clearing site data also resets your panel settings and AI assistant history on that device.

Changes & contact

When we add or remove a cookie, we update this page and the date at the top. Questions — hello@rustdash.io.
