Cookie Policy
IZCHI sets no cookies. Here is every value it keeps in your browser, and why.
Last updated: October 13, 2026
The short version
IZCHI does not set cookies and does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies or third-party analytics. It keeps a few functional values in your browser’s own storage so the site works. They are never used for advertising or shared with anyone. Two are sent to IZCHI itself: a random per-tab identifier used only to count visits (not set when Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control is on), and an invitation code you followed. Because none of this tracks you across sites, we don’t show a cookie consent banner.
What IZCHI stores in your browser
| Name | Where | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firebase sign-in (firebase:authUser…, IndexedDB) | Local storage / IndexedDB | Keeps you signed in. Set by Firebase Authentication; removed when you log out. | Until you log out |
| sd_seen | Local storage | Remembers that this browser has opened IZCHI before. Not sent anywhere today. | Until you clear site data |
| izchi.tracker-draft.v1 | Session storage | Keeps a tracker you are setting up while you sign in. | Until the tab closes |
| iz_return:… | Session storage | Returns you to the same place in search results when you go back. | Until the tab closes |
| sd_session_expired | Session storage | Shows a “your session expired” message after an automatic sign-out. | Cleared once shown |
| sd_help_cta_dismissed | Session storage | Hides the help button after you dismiss it. | Until the tab closes |
| iz_reloaded_for_build, iz_stale_build_reload | Session storage | Loads the newest version of the site once after an update, without a reload loop. | Until the tab closes |
| izchi.sid | Session storage | A random identifier for this tab, sent to IZCHI with each page view so visits can be counted. Not linked to your account; not set when Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control is on. | Until the tab closes |
| izchi.referral | Local storage | The code of an invitation link you opened, offered once to IZCHI after you create an account. | 30 days, or until used |
If you turn on browser notifications, your browser also registers IZCHI’s notification service worker, which only receives notifications and stores nothing else.
Other websites
Product images load from the retailer’s image servers (eBay and AliExpress today), and links to listings take you to the retailer’s site. Those companies apply their own cookie policies on their own sites; IZCHI doesn’t control them. See our Privacy Policy for what each provider receives.
Clearing it
You can clear all of this at any time in your browser’s site-data settings. Logging out removes the sign-in data; closing the tab removes the session values.
If this changes
If we ever add something non-essential, such as product analytics or advertising, we will update this page first and ask for your choice before it runs.
