Browser Storage
Three cookies, in a table: what each holds, when it expires and what it is for. Then what turning each one off costs You, the categories this Site never sets, and why no banner asks You anything.
Definitions
Words with a capital letter carry these meanings throughout the document.
- Cookie
- A short note a site asks Your browser to keep and send back, so the browser can be recognised on the next request.
- First-party cookie
- One set by indicatorex.com itself.
- Processor cookie
- One set by Whop inside its own card frame, under its own policy.
- Staff cookie
- The signed session the Desk’s own operators receive after signing in to the back office.
- Local storage
- The browser’s other storage areas (localStorage, IndexedDB), which this Site does not use.
The cookie table
- B.1
ixs_deskfirst-party Set by this Site When You open a personal payment link somebody sent You Holds an opaque reference to the sender; nothing about You Expires after 90 days Purpose credits the sender if a purchase follows - B.2
Processor cookies (several) processor Set by Whop, inside the card frame When the card frame loads Hold the Processor's own session and anti-fraud data Expires after set by the Processor, under its own policy Purpose completing and screening a card payment - B.3
ixs_hqstaff Set by this Site When a member of the Desk signs in to the back office Holds a signed session Expires after 8 hours Purpose staff access; never issued to a buyer - B.4
Three cookies; there is no fourth. A buyer who never opens a personal payment link receives nothing from this Site at all.
Blocking
- C.1
if You then block every cookie for this domain the Site reads normally; a personal payment link no longer credits its sender block the Processor's cookies a card payment cannot complete; the Processor needs them to secure the transaction clear cookies after paying nothing is lost; the receipt page works from its own address, cookie or no cookie - C.2
Every current browser can do all three from its settings, and You are free to.
Absent by design
- D.1

Why there is no banner
- E.1
A banner asks consent for things a site could do without. Every row in section B is necessary for the function it serves, and nothing here follows You for any other reason, so there is nothing to ask.
