Cookie Policy

Effective 15 May 2026 · plain-English summary above each clause; the binding terms are the clauses themselves.

Apexkit uses a small, deliberate set of cookies — all essential or strictly functional. We don't run advertising trackers, third-party analytics, or session replay tools.

01What's a cookie

A cookie is a small text file that sites store in your browser to remember things between page loads — e.g. that you're signed in, or which colour theme you prefer. Some cookies are set by the site itself (“first-party”); others by services the site embeds (“third-party”).

02Essential cookies (always on)

These keep the site working. You can't turn them off without breaking core functionality, but they store no marketing or profiling data.

  • __clerk_* — Clerk auth session. Set when you sign in; expires when you sign out or after 7 days of inactivity. First-party.
  • __stripe_*— Stripe Checkout / Billing Portal session (set only when you're on Stripe's hosted pages). Third-party, necessary for payments.
  • theme — your light / dark / system theme preference. Set by next-themes; expires in 1 year. First-party.

03Functional cookies

Optional, used to remember preferences. Currently:

  • cycle — last-used billing cycle (monthly / yearly) on the pricing page, so the page opens with your preference next visit.

You can disable functional cookies in your browser without affecting auth or payments.

04Analytics — Plausible (cookieless)

We use Plausible Analyticsto count page views and rough geography. Plausible doesn't set any cookies and uses an anonymous hash that resets daily — no profile of your activity is built. Plausible is GDPR-, CCPA-, and PECR-compliant by design.

05What we don't do

  • No Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or similar.
  • No session-replay tools (Hotjar, FullStory, LogRocket).
  • No advertising / retargeting cookies.
  • No fingerprinting techniques to track you across third-party sites or after logout.

06How to control cookies

Most browsers let you block or clear cookies via Settings → Privacy. Be aware that blocking essential cookies (Clerk, Stripe) will break sign-in and payments — that's why we don't bother showing a cookie banner for them.

If you turn off functional cookies, the site still works; the preference feature just stops remembering your last choice.
