Cookie Policy

We use the cookies a working dashboard needs, plus two analytics tools that tell us how the site and dashboard are actually used. No advertising or retargeting pixels, and we don’t sell your data.

What is a cookie

A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when you visit a website. Some are essential (signing you in); some are not (remembering a preference, or measuring how the product is used). Every cookie we set is listed below.

Cookies we set

Name	Purpose	Lifetime
`session`	Keeps you signed in to the customer dashboard.	14 days, sliding
`csrf`	Prevents cross-site request forgery on form submissions.	Session-only
`swyftstack:console-theme`	Remembers your light/dark preference. Stored as localStorage, not a server-side cookie.	Until cleared
`swyftstack:m-theme`	Same preference for the public marketing site.	Until cleared
`_ga`, `_ga_*`	Google Analytics. Tells us how many people visit, which pages they land on, and whether a signup completed. Set on the marketing site and the dashboard.	2 years
`_clck`	Microsoft Clarity. Persists an anonymous ID so repeat visits from the same browser are recognised.	1 year
`_clsk`	Microsoft Clarity. Groups the pages you view into a single session.	1 day

Analytics

Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity run on the marketing site and the dashboard, so we can see which pages get used and where people get stuck. Credentials, API keys, environment-variable values, and SQL editor content and results are excluded from Clarity’s recordings at source and never leave your browser. To have analytics data we hold about you deleted, email contact@swyftstack.com.

Third-party cookies

The analytics cookies above are set in connection with Google and Microsoft. Inside the customer dashboard, our payment processor (Stripe) sets cookies for fraud detection when you reach the billing page - these are governed by Stripe’s own privacy and cookie policies.

Controlling cookies

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via the settings menu. Blocking analytics has no effect on the product - everything keeps working. Blocking the session cookie will sign you out of the dashboard.
