Cookie Policy

Short version: We Went First sets exactly one cookie, and only after you have proven who you are. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party trackers — so there is nothing here that needs a consent banner.

The one cookie we set

After you open your access link (the "magic link" we email you), we set a single session cookie that keeps you signed in to your library. It is strictly necessary — without it you would have to click a new access link every visit — carries no advertising or tracking information, and is never set before you have clicked that link.

What it does: keeps you signed in. Lifetime: 1 year, or until you sign out. Set by: wewentfirst.com only, never a third party.

What we don't set

No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no social-media trackers, and nothing from a third-party domain. If that ever changes, we will update this page first and add a real consent banner.
