1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and recognize you on return visits. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. Cookies We Use
Clairo uses a minimal set of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

_csrf_token |
Essential | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
3. Essential Cookies
The cookies listed above are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They enable core functionality such as authentication and security. The Service cannot operate properly without them.
Because these cookies are essential, they do not require your consent under most privacy regulations (including GDPR and ePrivacy Directive). They are set automatically when you use the Service.
4. What We Don't Use
Clairo does not use:
- Advertising cookies — We don't serve ads or participate in ad networks
- Third-party tracking cookies — We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tracking services
- Social media cookies — We don't embed social media widgets that set cookies
- Fingerprinting — We don't use browser or device fingerprinting techniques
5. Third-Party Services
When you interact with certain features, third-party services may set their own cookies:
| Service | When | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Google OAuth | When you sign in with Google | Authentication flow |
| Stripe | When you visit the checkout page | Fraud prevention and payment processing |
These cookies are governed by the respective third party's cookie and privacy policies. We have no control over how these cookies are set or used.
6. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Set preferences for how cookies are handled
- Automatically delete cookies when you close your browser
Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the Service.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new cookies or change how we use existing ones. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will obtain your consent before setting them.
