Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy covers essential cookies, preference cookies, analytics storage, and similar browser storage used by check it!. It explains why we use them and the choices you have.
This is practical draft copy for check it!. It should be reviewed by a qualified legal professional before production use.
1. Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how check it! uses cookies and similar browser storage on public pages and inside the product.
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, software development kit storage, pixels, tags, and identifiers stored by a browser or device.
2. Why we use cookies and similar storage
We use cookies and similar storage to:
- keep the service working;
- support authentication and account sessions;
- remember preferences such as theme;
- protect the service from abuse;
- understand how people use public pages and product flows;
- detect errors and improve reliability;
- measure product performance and marketing effectiveness where allowed.
3. Types of storage we use
Essential storage
Essential storage is needed to provide the service, keep sessions secure, route requests, prevent abuse, or remember choices needed for the page to work. This may include authentication cookies, security cookies, load-balancing cookies, rate-limit signals, and strictly necessary technical identifiers.
Preference storage
Preference storage remembers choices such as theme or display settings. For example, check it! may store theme preference and resolved theme values so the page can render correctly before client-side code loads.
Analytics storage
Analytics storage helps us understand traffic, product usage, conversion flows, and reliability. It may include page views, events, device and browser information, approximate location from IP address, referrers, and anonymous or pseudonymous identifiers.
Error and reliability storage
Error monitoring and observability tools may use identifiers or technical data to connect errors, sessions, releases, and browser details. This helps us diagnose and fix problems.
4. Third-party providers
We may use third-party providers for authentication, hosting, analytics, product measurement, error monitoring, email delivery, and infrastructure. These providers may set or read cookies and similar storage when their services are used.
Provider names, cookie names, durations, and purposes should be added before publication based on the production configuration.
5. Consent and control
Under EU rules, strictly necessary cookies can usually be used without consent when they are needed to provide a service requested by the user.
Non-essential cookies and similar storage, such as optional analytics or marketing storage, may require consent before use.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can delete existing cookies, block some cookies, or block all cookies. If you block essential cookies, parts of the service may not work.
If check it! offers an in-product cookie preference tool, you can also use that tool to manage optional storage choices.
6. Current implementation note
This draft policy should be reconciled with the actual production setup before publication. In particular, confirm:
- authentication provider storage;
- analytics provider storage;
- error monitoring storage;
- theme and preference cookies;
- local storage and session storage keys;
- cookie durations;
- whether optional analytics runs only after consent in regions where consent is required.
7. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when the service, providers, storage practices, or legal requirements change. The updated date shows when the latest version took effect.
