1. Authentication cookies
Sign-in is provided by Clerk, which sets session cookies on crawlbird.ai (for example __session, __client_uat and cookies beginning with __clerk) to keep you signed in and to protect against forged requests. Their lifetime follows your sign-in state. Stripe sets its own cookies on its hosted checkout and billing pages, and our hosting provider may set security cookies. If a deployment explicitly enables temporary guest or test access, signed Crawlbird session cookies may also be present; guest access expires after seven days and test access after one hour. These modes are disabled by default for production.
2. Workspace storage
Session storage remembers the selected audit using crawlbird-active-audit. Browser storage may also contain display preferences, onboarding drafts and historical local preview benchmarks under name-crawl or crawlbird keys. Local preview records remain in that browser until you clear them. Server-backed account data is separate.
3. Payments and hosting
Stripe’s checkout and customer portal may use their own cookies for payment security and fraud prevention. Hosting and access providers may set cookies required to deliver or protect their service. Their own notices describe their processing.
4. Your controls
You can clear or block cookies and local storage through your browser. Doing so may sign you out, remove unsaved drafts or delete browser-only history. Export local records first if you need them. We do not load optional advertising or audience-measurement cookies in the application. If we add optional tracking, we will update this policy and provide any controls required by law.
5. Questions
