Cookies

Last updated: 2026-05-13

The site itself doesn’t set tracking cookies, run analytics scripts, or sell ads. The pixel wall is rendered server-side and updated by a small JSON-polling client; nothing about your visit is logged beyond standard short-lived rate-limit data. Two third-party services we use can set their own storage when you interact with them:

Cloudflare Turnstile

Loaded only when you open the purchase modal. The widget runs an invisible bot challenge and may store a short-lived token on the challenge subdomain (challenges.cloudflare.com). Cloudflare documents the cookies it may set in its cookie reference. The challenge runs only when you actually click “Buy” — visitors who only browse the wall don’t trigger it.

Stripe Checkout

When you submit the purchase form, the site redirects you to checkout.stripe.com to complete payment. Stripe sets cookies on its own domain to process the payment and protect against fraud — see Stripe’s cookies policy. Those cookies are not readable by The 10k Wall.

First-party storage we use

No first-party cookies. The wall application doesn’t set any cookies of its own.
No localStorage / sessionStorage. Your in-progress drawing is held only in memory while the tab is open.

How to opt out

You can browse the wall, view the transparency ledger, and read the mission page without triggering any third-party storage. If you don’t want Cloudflare’s challenge or Stripe’s payment cookies set on your browser, simply don’t open the purchase modal / don’t complete a purchase.
