We try to limit our use of cookies wherever we can. We do not currently use cookies for advertising purposes, and our analytics services are privacy-respecting and cookie-less. There are a few scenarios in which we do set cookies — mainly to provide a functioning website and app, and to improve your experience.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files or bits of information that recognize your device, store information about your preference, and help us to provide a functioning website and product. They may be stored on, accessed and removed from your device when you access our website and web application at sketch.com and any subdomains. Some cookies are set by third-party services, as listed below.
Which cookies do we use?
The tables below aim to inform you about the type and purpose of each cookie and the type of Personal Data (if any) they process.
Necessary cookies
We may store cookies on your device if they’re necessary for our operations and are required for you to navigate and use key functions throughout the website and web application.
These cookies are necessary for the website to work properly and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Analytical cookies
We only use privacy-respecting analytics tools and therefore do not set analytical cookies on our marketing website or web app. Our marketing website uses Simple Analytics and our web app uses Plausible — neither of these services use cookies or collect personal data.
Advertisement cookies
At this time, we do not use cookies for advertisement purposes.
Functionality cookies
We may set cookies that improve the functionality of our website or product. They are usually only set if you provide information to personalize and optimize your experience (e.g. dismissing promotional banners on the marketing website, or setting light or dark mode in the web app).
