What a cookie is on ugcabc.com
UGCABC sets cookies and similar browser storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, measure aggregate usage, and diagnose errors. We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we don't sell or share data with ad networks. Full context lives in our Privacy Policy; this page is the concrete inventory.
Inventory
| Category | Purpose | Provider | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Authenticated session, sign-in state, CSRF protection | Clerk (__session, __client, __client_uat) | Session & up to 7 days |
| Functional | Wizard progress, recently used avatars, active org selection | UGCABC (first-party localStorage + short-lived cookies) | Up to 30 days |
| Analytics | Aggregate feature usage to prioritise improvements | PostHog EU (ph_<project>_posthog) | Up to 1 year |
| Errors | Capturing stack traces when something breaks | Sentry (session identifier only) | Session |
Cookie names are set by the vendors listed above and can change with vendor updates — this table reflects the last review on the “Last updated” date at the top of the page.
What we don't use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies (Meta / Google / TikTok pixels are not loaded).
- No cross-site trackers or fingerprinting.
- No data brokerage, no ad-network sharing.
How to control cookies
The banner. The analytics cookie is set only after you press Accept on the cookie banner. Until then, and if you press Decline, analytics runs without any cookie or stored identifier. You can at any time; the banner comes back and your new answer replaces the old one.
In your browser. Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies for a specific site. Blocking cookies from ugcabc.com or from Clerk will sign you out and prevent sign-in.
Analytics opt-out. To disable analytics beyond browser controls, install PostHog's opt-out or block eu.i.posthog.com at the network level.
Do Not Track. We honour the DNT and Sec-GPC signals for analytics — when either header is set, the PostHog client is initialised in opt-out mode automatically.
Third-party services and their own cookies
When you interact with checkout (Paytree, hosted on Stripe infrastructure), embedded documentation (Vercel), the support chat (Tawk.to), or a support link, those services may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies: Clerk · Stripe · PostHog · Sentry · Vercel.
