Cookie Policy
How ClearStaq uses cookies and similar technologies on our marketing website.
Last updated: March 23, 2026
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how ClearStaq ("we", "us", or "our"), operated by Capital Gurus LLC, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our marketing website at clearstaq.com.
This policy applies to our marketing website only. It covers the cookies set when you browse our public pages — including the homepage, pricing, features, blog, and other informational pages.
We are committed to transparency about the technologies we use. ClearStaq takes a privacy-first approach: we minimize cookie usage, do not use advertising trackers, and do not sell data collected through cookies.
Cookie Consent
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner is displayed allowing you to accept or customize your cookie preferences. You can modify your preferences at any time.
Essential cookies are always active because they are strictly necessary for the website to function. These do not require your consent.
Analytics and functional cookies are only activated with your consent. If you do not consent or later withdraw consent, these cookies will not be set and the associated data will not be collected.
Your cookie consent preferences are stored in a first-party cookie on your device so we can remember your choices across visits.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and session management. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Authentication session management (Supabase) | Session |
| sb-*-auth-token-code-verifier | PKCE code verifier for secure authentication (Supabase) | Session |
| __Host-next-auth | CSRF protection for authentication flows | Session |
| cookie-consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 1 year |
| __vercel_live_token | Vercel deployment and preview protection | Session |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information. This data helps us improve the website experience. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _va | Vercel Analytics — anonymous page view tracking | Session |
| _vercel_insights | Vercel Web Analytics — performance metrics (Core Web Vitals) | Session |
We use Vercel Analytics, which is designed with privacy in mind. It does not use cookies for cross-site tracking, does not collect personally identifiable information, and is compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR without requiring additional consent in many jurisdictions.
🚫 Google Analytics
We do not use Google Analytics on our website. We chose Vercel Analytics specifically because it provides the usage insights we need without invasive tracking, cross-site cookies, or sharing data with advertising networks.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences and settings. They are set with your consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| theme-preference | Stores display theme preference | 1 year |
| dismissed-banners | Tracks dismissed notification banners and announcements | 30 days |
Payment Processing Cookies
When you interact with pricing pages or initiate a payment flow, cookies from our payment processor (Stripe) may be set. These cookies are necessary for secure payment processing and fraud prevention.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| __stripe_mid | Stripe fraud prevention — device identification | 1 year |
| __stripe_sid | Stripe fraud prevention — session identification | 30 minutes |
| m | Stripe fraud prevention — browser fingerprinting for payment security | 2 years |
Stripe's cookies are classified as essential for payment security and PCI DSS compliance. They are used exclusively for fraud detection and secure payment processing — not for advertising or tracking. You can learn more in Stripe's Privacy Policy.
Marketing & Advertising Cookies

- Any programmatic advertising or retargeting technologies
We believe in earning your trust through the quality of our product, not through invasive ad tracking. If we introduce any marketing cookies in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be required before they are activated.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services we use. We carefully select partners that align with our privacy-first approach. The third-party services that may set cookies on our marketing website include:

Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies we use, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
If we introduce new categories of cookies (particularly marketing or advertising cookies), we will update this policy before deploying them and request your consent through our cookie consent mechanism.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
