1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage. We use them to keep you logged in, remember your draft form data, and understand how the product is used.

2. The cookies we set

• Authentication, set by Hexclave (Stack Auth) so you stay signed in across pages.
• Theme preference, local storage key theme, remembers your light/dark choice.
• Form drafts, local storage keys such as tt:analysis_form_draftso you don’t lose progress on the analysis wizard. Sensitive fields are stripped before saving.
• Operational telemetry, short-lived counters in Upstash Redis (rate limiting, error tracking) keyed by anonymised user IDs or IPs.
• Language preference, first-party cookie tt_locale, remembers the language you chose so you don’t have to choose again. Strictly functional — it holds only a language code, never used for advertising or tracking, and does not require separate consent. Set for one year, or immediately when you change your language from the site’s language switcher.

3. Third-party cookies

Lemon Squeezy may set cookies on its hosted checkout pages to operate the payment flow. These are subject to Lemon Squeezy’s privacy policy.

4. Your choices

You can clear cookies and local storage from your browser settings at any time; doing so will sign you out and discard local form drafts. Disabling required cookies will prevent you from signing in.
