Cookies and the download link
Our website asks before it sets analytics or advertising cookies, and works the same if you decline. If you accept, the download link can carry an anonymous visitor number, which Storage Studio reports once on first launch together with any campaign tags or partner code — never your name, email or files.
Our website, storagestudio.us, asks before it sets any analytics or advertising cookies, and it works exactly the same if you say no. If you say yes, we can tell which pages and campaigns led to a download — using an anonymous visitor number, never your name or email.
The cookie notice
On your first visit, a notice at the bottom of the page offers two buttons:
| Button | What happens |
|---|---|
| Accept | The site remembers where your visit came from (for example a campaign link) and gives your browser an anonymous visitor number, so we can measure which pages and campaigns bring people to Storage Studio. |
| Decline | None of that is set or sent. Every page, the pricing section, the downloads and Tuhi all work as normal. |
Your choice is remembered for about six months. To change it sooner, clear the storagestudio.us cookies in your browser; the notice then appears again on your next visit.
What the download link carries
When you download Storage Studio, macOS keeps a note of the address the file came from. That address can carry:
- Campaign tags, if you arrived through a link that had them — for example from a newsletter or an advert.
- A partner code, if you came through one of our partners' links, so the partner who introduced you is credited.
- The anonymous visitor number from your visit — only if you accepted cookies. If you declined, nothing is added.
What Storage Studio reports
On its first launch, Storage Studio reads that address and reports what it carried, once. In Storage Studio 4.19.21 and later it also reports which page the download started from: the page itself when it was on our website, and only the site's name when it was somewhere else — never another site's full address or what you searched for.
None of this includes your name, your email address, your files or anything else from your Mac. It lets us join a download to the website visit that led to it, so we can see which pages and campaigns actually help people — and so a partner gets credit for the customers they bring.
For everything else the app sends, see What leaves your Mac, and when. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy, linked at the bottom of every page of the website.
