What We Collect
XenBin uses a small number of cookies and browser storage mechanisms to provide a smooth, secure experience. Below is a summary of the types of data stored locally on your device:
- Session cookies: Used to keep you signed in while you use XenBin. These are essential for authentication and expire when you log out or after a period of inactivity.
- Preference cookies: Used to remember your settings and preferences, such as whether you have dismissed the cookie consent banner or completed the welcome onboarding.
- Security cookies: Used by our bot-protection service (Cloudflare Turnstile) to verify that interactions are from real users, not automated scripts.
Why We Use Cookies
Cookies and local storage are used for the following purposes:
- Authentication: To securely manage your login session so you don't have to sign in every time you open the app.
- Security: To protect the login and signup forms from automated attacks using Cloudflare Turnstile verification.
- Performance: To cache small amounts of data locally so the app loads faster and reduces unnecessary server requests.
- User preferences: To remember choices you've made, such as accepting the cookie banner or completing onboarding.
No Tracking or Advertising Cookies
XenBin does not use any tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics that follow you across websites. We do not share cookie data with advertisers or data brokers. Your browsing activity on XenBin stays on XenBin.
Essential Cookies
Some cookies are strictly necessary for XenBin to function. These include:
- Login session identifiers

Without these essential cookies, core features like signing in and using the scanner would not work properly.
