Cookie Policy
Last updated: , Version 1.0
The short version
- We only use cookies that are strictly necessary, mainly to keep you signed in.
- Our analytics are cookieless: no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies, no cross-site profiles.
- Because we only use essential cookies, we don't show a cookie consent banner. If we ever add optional cookies, we'll ask first.
This summary is for convenience. The full text below is what applies.
1.What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, which keeps small amounts of data in your browser. This policy explains which of these AssetLoom uses on assetloom.io and why. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
2.What we use
| Name or type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookies (such as __session and __client_uat) | Clerk, our authentication provider, on our domain | Keep you signed in, protect your session, and prevent request forgery. Strictly necessary. | Session token minutes; sign-in state until you sign out or it expires |
| Authentication cookies on our sign-in subdomain (such as __client) | Clerk | Maintain your sign-in across our pages and subdomains. Strictly necessary. | Until you sign out or the session expires |
| Bot-protection check at sign-up | Cloudflare Turnstile, loaded by Clerk | Distinguish people from automated sign-up abuse. Strictly necessary for security. | Short-lived |
| al_ref | AssetLoom | Set only when you open someone's referral link. Holds just their referral code so the referral can be recorded when you sign up. Not used for tracking or advertising. | 30 days, or until you sign in |
| theme (local storage) | AssetLoom | Remember your choice of light, dark, or system theme. Stored only in your browser and never sent to us. | Until you clear it |
The exact cookie names used by our authentication provider can change as it updates its software. Any such cookies will be used only for the strictly necessary purposes described above.
3.Analytics without cookies
We use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand which pages are visited and how fast they load. These tools do not use cookies or local storage, do not create persistent identifiers, and do not track you across other websites. They report aggregated statistics, such as page views, referrers, approximate country, and device type.
4.What we don't use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies, pixels, or social media trackers.
- No third-party analytics cookies.
- No cookies that let us or others build a profile of you across websites.
5.Payment pages
When you buy Loom Credits, you are sent to a checkout page hosted by our payment provider. That provider may set its own cookies, for example to prevent fraud. Those cookies are governed by the provider's cookie and privacy notices, which are linked from its checkout page.
6.Why there is no cookie banner
Laws such as the EU ePrivacy Directive and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations require consent for cookies, except those “strictly necessary” to provide a service you have asked for. Because we only use strictly necessary cookies and storage, we do not need to ask for consent. If we ever introduce optional cookies, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before setting them.
7.Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the strictly necessary cookies, you will still be able to browse the store, but you will not be able to sign in, buy credits, or download your purchases.
