Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how SocialNetics uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website or use our service. By using SocialNetics, you consent to our use of cookies as described here.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember preferences, and maintain your session. Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a set period).
Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which function similarly to cookies and are used to maintain state within your browser.
2. Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for SocialNetics to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking the service. They include:
- Session identifiers that keep you signed in during your visit
- Authentication tokens that verify your identity with our authentication provider (Clerk)
- CSRF protection tokens that secure form submissions
3. Authentication and Session Cookies
SocialNetics uses Clerk for authentication. When you sign in, Clerk places cookies on your device to maintain your authenticated session. These cookies are necessary to use the app and are subject to Clerk's privacy policy in addition to ours.
4. Analytics and Performance Cookies
We may use analytics tools to collect aggregated information about how users interact with SocialNetics — such as which features are used most, page load times, and error rates. This information is used to improve the service. Where possible, analytics data is anonymized or aggregated.
5. Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices you make to personalize your experience, such as your timezone setting and display preferences. These are stored to make your sessions more convenient but are not required for the core service to function.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on SocialNetics are placed by third-party services that we use to operate the platform. These include:
- Clerk — authentication and session management
- Our payment processor — payment processing (placed on billing-related pages)
These third parties may collect information subject to their own privacy policies. We do not control their cookies and encourage you to review their policies directly.
7. Managing Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling essential cookies — particularly authentication cookies — will prevent you from signing in or using SocialNetics.
Instructions for managing cookies can be found in your browser's help documentation. Common browsers include options to clear cookies, block third-party cookies, or set cookie preferences per site.
