Cookie Policy
Last updated October 13, 2026
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a similar space in the browser that keeps data on your device. This page lists what StickHits uses and why.
Necessary (always on)
These are needed for the site to work — signing in, security, payments and remembering your settings — so they do not require consent.
| Name | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
wordpress_logged_in_…, wordpress_sec_… |
Keep you signed in and protect your session | Session, or 14 days with “Remember me” |
wordpress_test_cookie |
Checks that your browser accepts cookies when signing in | Session |
Membership plugin cookies (pms_…) |
Sign-up, checkout and subscription forms | Session to a few days |
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid |
Set by Stripe on the checkout page for secure payments and fraud prevention | Up to 1 year / 30 minutes |
sh_consent (cookie) and sh-consent (local storage) |
Remember your cookie choice | 6 months |
sh-mode, dh-account, dpa-…, sh-dirty, sh-social (local storage) |
Your settings (dark or light mode, sound), a copy of your practice progress until it is saved to your account, Mastered and saved items | Until you clear your browser data |
Optional (only with your consent)
Analytics — anonymous statistics about how StickHits is used, so we can improve it.
Advertising — ads shown to Free members and measuring them. Premium members never see ads.
These are switched off until you agree in the cookie banner. If we start using such a tool, the banner names it and asks you first; this page will list the cookies it sets. Right now StickHits uses no optional cookies.
Changing your choice
Use Cookie settings at the bottom of any page to see or change your choice at any time. You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser settings — note that this signs you out and removes any progress that has not been saved to your account yet.
