Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 21, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Steady On uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our service. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Our Approach to Cookies
We use minimal cookies — only what's necessary to make the service work, plus optional analytics that you control. We never use advertising cookies or tracking pixels, and we never sell data to advertisers.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use the service. We also use similar technologies like localStorage for storing preferences on your device.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize our cookies into two types: Essential (required for the service to function) and Optional (only used with your consent).
Essential Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are necessary for Steady On to work. Without them, you couldn't log in or use the service. You cannot opt out of these cookies.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__client_uat | Clerk | Authentication - verifies your login session | Session |
__session | Clerk | Authentication - maintains your logged-in state | Session |
__clerk_db_jwt | Clerk | Authentication - secure token for database access | Session |
sb-*-auth-token | Supabase | Database session - required for secure data access | Session |
analytics_consent | Steady On | Remembers your analytics preference | 1 year |
Optional Cookies (Requires Your Consent)
These cookies are only set if you click "Allow analytics" in our consent banner or enable analytics in your Privacy Settings.
| Cookie/Technology | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vercel Analytics | Vercel | Understands how the app is used (pages visited, time spent) | Session |
What Vercel Analytics collects:
- Pages you visit within the app
- Time spent on each page
- Referrer information (how you found us)
- General device info (browser type, screen size, country)
What analytics NEVER collects:
- Your conversations or messages
- Personal information (name, email, etc.)
- Anything you share in sessions
- Your context or memories
3. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use your browser's localStorage to save certain preferences locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not sent to our servers.
| Key | Purpose | Data Stored |
|---|---|---|
preferred_currency | Remembers your preferred currency for pricing display | Currency code (e.g., "GBP", "USD") |
preferred_currency_explicit | Tracks if you manually changed your currency preference | "true" or absent |
steadyon_audio_input | Remembers your preferred microphone for voice features | Device ID |
4. Third-Party Services
Our essential cookies come from trusted third-party services that help us provide the core functionality:
- Clerk - Handles authentication. See their Privacy Policy.
- Supabase - Handles database access. See their Privacy Policy.
- Vercel - Hosts our application and provides optional analytics. See their Privacy Policy.
When you use our payment features, Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention and payment processing. See their Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Analytics Cookies
You can control analytics cookies in two ways:
- Cookie banner - When you first visit, choose "Allow analytics" or "No thanks"
- Privacy Settings - Change your preference anytime in Settings → Privacy
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the service to function. If you block these cookies via your browser, you will not be able to use Steady On.
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- See what cookies are stored
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies (note: this will break most websites)
For instructions specific to your browser, visit: All About Cookies - Manage Cookies
Local Storage
To clear localStorage data, you can use your browser's developer tools or clear your browser's site data. Note that this will reset your preferences.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature. We respect this signal — if your browser sends a Do Not Track request, we treat it the same as declining analytics cookies.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or by email. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when this policy was last revised.
8. Contact Us
If you have questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at privacy@steadyon.ai.
