Cookie Policy
Last updated 24 July 2026
Summary
We keep cookies to a minimum. We use only cookies that are strictly necessary to make the site work, plus privacy-friendly analytics that set no cookies at all. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking, and we do not sell your data. Because we set no non-essential cookies, no cookie-consent banner is required under the ePrivacy rules.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website can store in your browser. “Strictly necessary” cookies are needed for core features such as signing in or paying; under the ePrivacy rules these do not require consent. Any other category (analytics, preferences, advertising) would require your consent before being set.
Strictly-necessary cookies we use
Clerk— a session cookie that keeps you signed in and secures authenticated pages (the account area, pricing checkout, admin). Set only once you sign in.Stripe— a session cookie set during payment to process the transaction securely and help prevent fraud. Set only when you reach the checkout flow.Convex— a functional cookie/identifier used to maintain the application's live data connection.
Analytics (cookieless)
We use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to understand aggregate traffic and page performance. These are privacy-friendly by design: they set no cookies, do not use a persistent identifier, and do not track you across other websites. Because they are cookieless, they fall outside the cookie-consent requirement.
What we do NOT use
No advertising or marketing cookies, no cross-site tracking or fingerprinting, and no third-party social-media cookies.
How to control cookies
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly-necessary cookies will stop you from signing in or completing a payment, so parts of the site will not work. The cookieless analytics above cannot be turned off with a cookie control because they use no cookies; you can use your browser's do-not-track or a privacy extension if you prefer.
Changes to this policy
If we ever introduce non-essential cookies (for example analytics or preference cookies that do use cookies), we will add a consent mechanism first and update this page. We'll also update the “Last updated” date above.
