Cookie Policy

1.What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — for example, that you are logged in — so you do not have to re-enter it every time you load a page.

We also use related browser-storage mechanisms (such as localStorage) for lightweight client-side preferences. These are governed by the same principles as cookies.

2.Cookies We Set

PTCC uses a minimal set of cookies, all of which are functional in nature. None of the cookies listed below are used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Cookie name	Set by	Purpose	Duration
__session	Clerk	Maintains your authenticated session. Required to stay logged in.	Session
__client_uat	Clerk	Tracks the last client-update timestamp for session validation.	1 year
__clerk_db_jwt	Clerk	Stores a device-bound token used to re-authenticate across browser tabs.	1 year
ptcc_ui_prefs	PTCC	Remembers lightweight UI preferences (e.g. sidebar state).	90 days

The Clerk authentication cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They cannot be disabled without logging you out and preventing access to your account. The preference cookie is optional and can be deleted from your browser without affecting access.

3.Third-Party Cookies

Stripe

When you proceed to a checkout flow, Stripe may set cookies in your browser to support fraud detection and maintain payment session state. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Cookie Policy and are scoped to the payment flow; they are not used to track your activity across the rest of our Platform.

No analytics providers

We do not currently use Google Analytics, Segment, Mixpanel, or any other third-party analytics service that sets cookies. Aggregate usage data is derived from our own server-side logs without setting cookies in your browser.

4.What We Don't Do

We want to be explicit about the things we do not do with cookies:

We do not set advertising or retargeting cookies.
We do not share cookie data with social media platforms.
We do not use cookies to build a profile of your behaviour across other websites.
We do not sell or license cookie data to any third party.
