Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 9, 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you interact with the service. Some cookies are essential for the website to function; others help us improve your experience.
2. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in securely | Session / 30 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Strictly necessary | Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
| next-auth.callback-url | Strictly necessary | Redirects you to the correct page after sign-in | Session |
| __stripe_mid | Strictly necessary | Fraud prevention for payment processing | 1 year |
| __stripe_sid | Strictly necessary | Fraud prevention for payment sessions | 30 minutes |
3. What we do NOT use
Positionly does not use:
- Advertising or tracking cookies — no Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or ad network trackers
- Third-party marketing cookies — we do not share your browsing data with advertisers
- Cross-site tracking — we do not track you across other websites
- Fingerprinting — we do not use browser fingerprinting techniques
We use only cookies that are strictly necessary for the Service to function. Under GDPR, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent.
4. Local storage
In addition to cookies, we use your browser's local storage for:
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| positionly_last_conv | Remembers your last open conversation so you can resume it |
| positionly_sidebar | Remembers sidebar collapsed/expanded state |
Local storage data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to our servers.
5. Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
- Configure cookie permissions per website
Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent Positionly from functioning — you will not be able to sign in.
6. Changes to this policy
If we introduce new types of cookies (e.g., analytics), we will update this policy and, where required by GDPR, request your consent before setting those cookies.
