Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site operator. The Service also uses browser localStorage and sessionStorage, which operate similarly to cookies but remain on your device rather than being sent to our servers with each request.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and your choices regarding their use. For broader information on how we handle your personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
These cookies are essential for the Service to function and cannot be disabled. Without them, you would not be able to log in, maintain a session, or use core features of the platform.
| Name / Pattern | Provider | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| __session, __client_uat | Clerk | Authentication session token — keeps you logged in | Session / 1 year |
| __clerk_db_jwt | Clerk | Secure JWT for API authentication | Session |
| __Host-next-auth.* | Vercel / Next.js | Routing and middleware session state | Session |
We use browser localStorage for features that improve your experience but are not strictly required for the Service to work. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
| Key | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| pitchfilthy-theme | Remembers your light/dark mode preference | Persistent until cleared |
| pitchfilthy_onboarded | Remembers that you have completed the initial onboarding walkthrough | Persistent until cleared |
| pitchfilthy_cat_print_opts | Remembers your print/layout options for catcher reports | Persistent until cleared |
When you are signed in, your light/dark display-mode preference is additionally saved to your account so it follows you across devices — see our Privacy Policy.
We use browser sessionStorage — which is cleared automatically when you close the browser tab — for short-lived state that makes the dashboard work smoothly. This includes a cached copy of your organization role (so the correct navigation renders without a round-trip) and temporary keys used to hand a selected CSV or report off between pages when you generate or regenerate a report. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers as cookies.
Our authentication provider, Clerk, may set additional cookies on their own domains during the sign-in flow. These are governed by Clerk's Privacy Policy.
Our hosting provider, Vercel, may collect anonymized usage metrics. These are governed by Vercel's Privacy Policy.
We use PostHog for first-party product analytics to understand how the Service is used and improve it. PostHog sets cookies to measure usage and may capture session recordings in which all form inputs (such as email and payment fields) are masked. It is configured for first-party analytics only and does not track you across other websites; its processing is governed by PostHog's Privacy Policy.
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or cross-site behavioral tracking that follows you across other websites.
Aside from the first-party product analytics described above (PostHog), we keep cookie usage minimal. We do not use:
Our goal is to collect only what is necessary to operate and improve the Service.
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:
To clear localStorage in your browser, open Developer Tools (F12), navigate to Application → Local Storage, and delete the entries for pitchfilthy.com.
Note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies (particularly Clerk authentication cookies) will prevent you from signing in or remaining logged in to the Service.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked across sites. PitchFilthy does not currently respond to DNT signals. Because we do not use cross-site advertising or behavioral tracking technologies, DNT signals have no additional practical effect on how we operate — we do not track your activity across other websites regardless of your DNT setting.
California and Nevada residents: we disclose this as required by applicable state law. We do not sell personal information, and this practice does not change based on DNT signals.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
