Last updated: 2026-06-10

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, authenticate your session, and understand how you interact with the site. Cookies may be “first-party” (set by our domain) or “third-party” (set by external services we use).

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are necessary for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or setting privacy preferences.

Vercel Analytics does NOT use fingerprinting, cross-site tracking, or personally identifiable information. No IP addresses are stored. See Vercel Analytics Privacy.

2.3 Cookies We Do NOT Use

  • Advertising or retargeting cookies
  • Social media tracking cookies
  • Cross-site tracking cookies
  • Fingerprinting scripts
  • Marketing automation tracking pixels

3. Third-Party Services and Cookies

Our infrastructure provider Cloudflare sets minimal security cookies (__cf_bm, cf_clearance) for bot detection and DDoS protection. These are essential for site security and do not track you across sites.

We do not embed third-party content (social media widgets, ad networks, tracking pixels) that would set additional cookies.

4. Your Cookie Choices

4.1 Browser Controls

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

4.2 Opt-Out of Analytics

You can opt out of Vercel Analytics by enabling “Do Not Track” in your browser settings. We respect DNT signals.

4.3 Effect of Disabling Cookies

Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging into your account. Disabling analytics cookies has no impact on site functionality.

5. Legal Compliance

5.1 GDPR / ePrivacy Directive (EEA/UK)

  • Essential cookies are set under the “strictly necessary” exemption (ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3) / UK PECR Reg. 6).
  • Analytics cookies are set only after implied consent via continued browsing, as they collect no personal data (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest).
  • You may withdraw consent at any time via browser settings.

5.2 CCPA (California)

  • Our cookie usage does not constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under the CCPA.
  • No opt-out mechanism is required as we do not use cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5.3 Other Jurisdictions

Our minimal cookie approach is designed to comply with global privacy regulations including LGPD (Brazil), PIPEDA (Canada), APPI (Japan), and PDPA (Singapore). If you have jurisdiction-specific questions, contact privacy@correlatex.com.
