Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how ShortStack uses cookies and similar browser storage on our website and dashboard. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some are essential to keep you signed in and secure. Others help us understand site usage so we can improve how ShortStack performs.
2. Cookies we use
- Essential auth and session cookies: used by Supabase and the app itself to keep you signed in, protect authenticated routes, and maintain secure dashboard sessions.
- Security and performance cookies: used to support rate limiting, request integrity, and basic platform reliability.
- Analytics cookies: used by PostHog and Vercel Analytics to understand page views, clicks, session flow, and product usage trends so we can improve the website and dashboard.
3. Why we use them
- To keep trade business users signed in and route them to the right account.
- To protect the platform from abuse, suspicious traffic, and broken sessions.
- To measure how marketing pages and product flows perform so we can improve them.
- To remember limited interface state, such as temporary UI preferences and dismissals.
4. Third-party services
Some cookies or local storage entries are set by trusted providers we use to run the service, including Supabase for authentication, PostHog for analytics, and Vercel for hosting and aggregate analytics.
These providers process data on our behalf so ShortStack can function properly and so we can monitor site performance.
5. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop sign-in, dashboard access, or secure forms from working correctly.
If you want analytics cookies blocked for your organisation, contact us and we can talk you through the options.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our website, dashboard, or providers change. Any material updates will be posted on this page with a revised last-updated date.
