Cookie Policy
- We don't use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.
- Paper keeps a few things in your browser to work: your login and, above all, your notes.
- Only one item is optional: the anonymous statistics identifier, which is only created if you click “Allow statistics”.
“Cookies” here also includes the browser's local storage (localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB and the installed app's cache), which work in a similar way.
Necessary
Without them the site or the app don't work. They don't require consent (LGPD art. 7, V and IX).

Statistics (optional)
They only exist if you allow them. When off, nothing is created or sent.

What is counted and what is never counted is explained in the Privacy Policy.
Third parties
On the sign-in page and when you connect Drive or Calendar, the browser talks to Google, which may use its own cookies according to Google's cookie policy. The Paper site doesn't load ads, social media pixels or third-party analytics tools.
How to control
- Change your choice about statistics at any time with the button below or in Settings → Privacy, in the app.
- You can delete everything through the browser, in the site data settings. Careful: this also deletes notes that haven't gone to Drive yet.
