1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text records that a website may store in a browser. Similar technologies can retain a session choice or help a service recognize a secure request. This policy uses the word cookie for these related browser technologies where appropriate.
2. Strictly Necessary Cookies
WritingSignal uses Clerk for authentication. Clerk may set cookies or use related browser storage that is necessary to sign users in, protect sessions, prevent abuse, and route account access. Disabling these technologies may prevent private account features from working.
3. Analytics and Monitoring
WritingSignal currently uses allow-listed, server-side PostHog events and redacted Sentry monitoring. Submitted writing, filenames, payment data, and identifiable analysis scores are excluded. Sensitive-page session recording is off.
The current architecture does not require advertising cookies and WritingSignal does not use cookies for cross-site behavioral advertising.
4. Cookie Choices
Browsers let users delete or block cookies. Strictly necessary authentication cookies cannot be disabled through WritingSignal without losing the functions they provide.
If WritingSignal later introduces non-essential browser analytics or marketing cookies, it will add a consent choice before enabling them where required.
