This Cookie Policy explains how Circlio ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our platform. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give site owners usage information.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags (also called web beacons), which serve similar purposes. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these similar technologies.

3. Third-Party Cookies
Depending on enabled product settings, some cookies or similar technologies may be set by third-party services we use:
Supabase: Authentication cookies for secure login
Vercel: Hosting performance and public-route analytics tools, when enabled
PostHog: Privacy-focused product analytics when enabled (does not sell data or engage in cross-site tracking)
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We select partners committed to user privacy.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
View what cookies are stored on your device
Delete some or all cookies
Block third-party cookies
Block cookies from specific sites

Delete all cookies when you close your browser
To manage cookies in common browsers:
Chrome:Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
Firefox:Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies
Safari:Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
Edge:Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions
Note: Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using core platform features. Analytics and preference cookies can be disabled without affecting basic functionality, though your experience may be less personalized.
5. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Global Privacy Control (GPC): We honor GPC signals sent by your browser. When we detect a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out request for the sale or sharing of personal information, as required by applicable law, and disable optional browser analytics in that browser.
Do Not Track (DNT): We also honor Do Not Track browser signals where required by applicable state law.
Since Circlio does not sell personal information or engage in cross-site tracking, these signals primarily reinforce our existing privacy-first practices.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. We will update the "Effective Date" at the top and notify you of material changes through the Service or via email.
