Cookie and storage notice
Last updated: 1 July 2026
This notice explains how Kehilla uses cookies and similar browser storage on kehilla.io, and the choices you have. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal data more broadly. It applies under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
What we use, and why
Kehilla relies on a small amount of browser storage to make the service work. Most of it is strictly necessary; we also use one anonymous identifier to count how many times a recording is played. We do not use cookies or storage for advertising, profiling, or tracking you across other websites. We explain everything here so you know what is held on your device.
| What | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in & session | Keeps you signed in as a member or administrator, and remembers who you are and which community you belong to, between pages and visits. | Local storage (strictly necessary) |
| Checkout | Holds your place during a seating or event checkout. | Session storage (strictly necessary) |
| Cookie notice acknowledgement | Remembers that you have seen this notice so we do not show the banner again. | Local storage (strictly necessary) |
| Display preferences & cache | Remembers minor display choices, and caches your community's name and logo so pages load faster. | Local storage (strictly necessary) |
| Recording play count | An anonymous, random identifier used only to count how many times a class recording (shiur) is played, so the same device is not counted twice. It is not linked to your identity, and is stored only after you acknowledge this notice. | Local storage (analytics) |
Third-party services
Some features rely on trusted providers who may set their own cookies or process data under their own terms when you use them — for example Google (sign-in), Stripe (card payments), and other payment or accounting integrations. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to each provider's own cookie and privacy notices for detail.
Analytics and advertising
We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) on kehilla.io. The only measurement we carry out is counting how often a recording is played, using the anonymous random identifier described above. It is first-party only, is not linked to your identity, and is never used to profile you or track you across other websites.
Your choices
You can clear or block site data at any time in your browser settings. Signing out removes Kehilla session data from your device. Because the storage we use is strictly necessary, blocking it may stop sign-in and other core features from working.
Changes
We will update this page when our use of cookies or storage changes, and adjust the date at the top.
