Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the service. Octo also uses browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) for similar purposes; this policy covers both.

2. Essential cookies

These are necessary for the platform to function and cannot be disabled:

Cookie	Provider	Purpose	Duration
__clerk_*	Clerk	Authentication and session management	Session / 1 year
__stripe_*	Stripe	Payment fraud prevention	Session / 1 year
__cf_bm	Cloudflare	Bot management and security	30 minutes
octo_cookie_consent	Octo	Remembers your cookie preferences	Persistent (localStorage)

3. Analytics and marketing

If you accept non-essential cookies, we use third-party analytics to understand usage and personalize follow-up communications - product analytics, traffic measurement, and lifecycle email. These are set only after you accept in the banner. Rejecting non-essential cookies clears all Octo-managed analytics keys:

Key	Provider	Purpose	Duration
octo_utm_first_touch	Octo	First marketing campaign that brought you to the site	Persistent (localStorage)
octo_utm_last_touch	Octo	Most recent marketing campaign you arrived from	Persistent (localStorage)
Analytics SDK keys	Analytics providers	Product analytics and traffic measurement	Up to 2 years

4. How to manage cookies

• Cookie banner - when you first visit Octo, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies.
• Browser settings - most browsers let you block or delete cookies; see your browser's help documentation.
• Clear stored preferences - clear your browser's local storage to reset your consent choice and the banner will appear again.

Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the platform from functioning correctly, such as logging in or making purchases.
