Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Cortlet uses cookies, session identifiers, and similar technologies when you interact with our website, authentication system, developer dashboard, and related services.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that allow websites to maintain sessions, remember preferences, and improve performance and security.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Authentication Cookies

Cortlet uses essential session cookies provided by Clerk to maintain secure authentication sessions. These cookies allow you to stay signed in to the developer dashboard and access protected features.

Analytics Cookies

Cortlet uses Vercel Analytics to collect anonymized traffic and performance data, such as:

• Approximate location (country & region)
• Pages visited and time spent
• Browser & device type
• Navigation flows

These analytics signals are aggregated and do not identify individual users.

Security Signals

Cortlet may temporarily store session identifiers related to login attempts in order to prevent abuse, detect suspicious behavior, and maintain account security.

3. Third-Party Technologies

Some services used by Cortlet may set their own cookies or session identifiers, including:

• Clerk (authentication and session management)
• OAuth login providers such as Google and GitHub
• Vercel Analytics (performance and traffic analytics)

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. However, doing so may prevent certain Cortlet features — such as login, dashboard access, or security protections — from working properly.

5. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect new technologies, legal requirements, or improvements to the Cortlet platform. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
