Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
1. What Are Cookies and Browser Storage
Cookies and local or session storage are small records stored by your browser. They can keep you signed in, remember your preferences, or—only with consent—correlate a bounded product journey within one session.
2. How We Use Cookies
Ticker Talk uses cookies to provide, secure, and improve our Service. We categorize our cookies as follows:
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, and security. You cannot opt out of essential cookies.
| Storage item | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Clerk-managed session storage | Authentication and session security | Controlled by the authentication session |
cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preferences | 1 year |
ticker-talk-product-session | Correlates consented product funnel events within one browser session | Session |
2.2 Optional Analytics Storage
This browser storage helps us understand how visitors use the Service so we can improve the user experience. Ticker Talk sends only event-specific, bounded properties; it does not send research prompts, application text, names, or email addresses. Analytics storage is optional and remains off until you affirmatively consent.
3. Third-Party Services
Some browser storage or operational request data is handled by services we use:
- Clerk (authentication): Sets cookies to manage user sessions securely.
- Stripe (payments): May set cookies when you interact with payment forms to prevent fraud.
- Railway (hosting): Provides application infrastructure and operational request logs.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:
- Cookie consent banner: When you first visit the site, you can choose to accept all cookies or only essential ones.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the Service from functioning properly.
5. Cookie Consent and GDPR
In compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ePrivacy Directive, we obtain your consent before placing any non-essential cookies. You can withdraw your consent at any time by opening the cookie preferences control on this page.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date.
