Which cookies are always used by AppFarm for apps we create?

Hey there!

We ran into a bit of an interesting question. We’d like to list the cookies used by our apps, but are having a hard time figuring out which cookies our apps created in AppFarm Create will have activated by default.

Does anyone have any useful insights? It’s tempting to guess that a lot of the cookies listed in AppFarm’s cookie policy are also active on the apps created through AppFarm Create. Would that be a correct assessment?

Regards,
Mikkel

Hi @Mikkel

Thank you for your question!

The cookie policy you are referring to is for careers.appfarm.io, which is related to Teamtailor and does not apply to the applications created with Appfarm Create.

But there are two cookies that are essential in the client part of Appfarm for authenticated solutions:

  1. GCLB - This cookie is used for load balancing and sticky sessions, and is necessary for establishing a WebSocket session.
  2. afsid - This is a session cookie, but it is not used in public applications.

Neither of these cookies contains any information that can be used outside of Appfarm Create, as they are only references to data that exists server-side.

If you need more information regarding our data handling and privacy practices, you can find it here:
• AppFarm Privacy Policy
• AppFarm Trust Center

I hope this helps clarify the use of cookies in your applications!
