1. Scope

This Cookie Notice explains how StatGazer LLC uses cookies and similar browser-storage technologies on the RUMA public website and the authenticated account pages at ruma.rent. It does not apply to third-party websites, or to separate services that publish their own notices.

2. Cookies and storage RUMA uses

RUMA uses one first-party cookie — an authentication cookie set after you sign in:

Cookie	Provider	Purpose	Set when	Duration
ruma_access	ruma.rent (first-party)	Authenticates your signed-in session so you stay signed in as you move between pages	After a successful sign-in	12 hours, subject to earlier sign-out or server-side invalidation

The cookie holds a signed session token — a reference to your server-side session and your account ID, with an expiry. It does not contain your password. It is set HttpOnly (page scripts cannot read it) and, in production, Secure and SameSite=Lax.

RUMA also keeps a small amount of functional information in your browser’s local storage — your chosen interface language and whether you have dismissed certain first-run tips — and holds an anti-CSRF security token in memory only for the duration of a page visit. These are first-party, do not identify you across sites, and are not used for tracking.

RUMA does not currently use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, session-replay technologies, or other non-essential browser-storage technologies on RUMA pages, and RUMA pages do not embed third-party trackers.

3. Why RUMA does not show a consent banner

The authentication cookie is strictly necessary to provide the signed-in service you request: without it, RUMA cannot keep you authenticated or maintain your account session.

Because RUMA does not currently use non-essential cookies or similar technologies on RUMA pages, we do not display a cookie consent banner. If this changes, we will update this Notice and, where required, ask for your consent before using non-essential technologies.

4. Payment provider

When you choose to purchase a RUMA subscription, you may be redirected to a checkout page and billing portal hosted by our payment provider, Stripe. Stripe may use cookies and similar technologies on its own pages for security, fraud prevention, authentication, and other purposes described in Stripe’s own notices. RUMA does not control the cookies Stripe sets on Stripe-hosted pages. The providers that process data to run the Service are listed on our Subprocessors page.

5. Managing the authentication cookie

You can browse RUMA’s public pages without the authentication cookie. Blocking or deleting it will prevent you from staying signed in and using authenticated account features; deleting it signs you out. You can manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time.

6. Changes and contact

If our use of cookies or similar technologies changes, we will update this Notice and its version history. Privacy questions: privacy@ruma.rent. Operator: StatGazer LLC, a New York limited liability company, 418 Broadway, STE R, Albany, NY 12207, USA.
