Cookie Policy

Picker Radar · Last updated: April 27, 2026 · Effective upon publication

The short version: We only use cookies that are necessary to keep you logged in, protect security, and process payments. We do not use advertising cookies or behavioral tracking cookies. Clerk and Stripe each set their own cookies; we list them below.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They are used to remember you between page loads and sessions. We also use browser localStorage for similar short-lived session purposes (e.g., remembering your active store for ~30 minutes during a scan session).

Cookies we use

Category	Who sets it	Cookie / Storage key	Purpose	Duration
Strictly Necessary	Clerk	`__client_uat`, `__session`, and related Clerk auth cookies	Authenticate your session and keep you signed in	Session / up to 1 year (per Clerk's token rotation)
Strictly Necessary	Stripe	`__stripe_mid`, `__stripe_sid`, and related Stripe cookies	Fraud detection and payment flow security during checkout	1 year / session
Strictly Necessary	Picker Radar (Next.js)	CSRF token (HTTP-only cookie)	Protect API requests from cross-site request forgery	Session
Functional	Picker Radar	`localStorage: activeStore`	Remember the store you are currently scanning at for ~30 minutes so you don't re-confirm on each item scan	~30 minutes (expires automatically)

Analytics cookies

We currently use no analytics cookies or third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics). If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy before doing so and disclose what is set.

Advertising cookies

We use no advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or ad-network tracking on Picker Radar. We do not share data with advertising networks.

Third-party cookies from Clerk and Stripe

Clerk and Stripe set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies. We do not control those cookies directly. For more information:

Managing cookies

Because all cookies we set (or allow our auth/payment vendors to set) are strictly necessary for core functionality, disabling them will prevent you from signing in or completing payments. Most browsers let you manage cookies in Settings > Privacy. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will break the Service for you.

For guidance on managing cookies by browser: allaboutcookies.org.

Changes to this policy

If we start using new types of cookies (especially analytics or functional cookies beyond those listed above), we will update this policy before deployment and notify you via email or an in-app notice.
