1. What we use cookies for
MailChecked is intentionally light on cookies. We don't use advertising trackers, third-party analytics, or social-media pixels on the marketing site (mailchecked.com). The application (app.mailchecked.com) uses session cookies that are strictly necessary to keep you signed in.
2. Cookies set on the marketing site
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |

mck-theme | Stores your light/dark theme preference (localStorage, not a cookie strictly speaking). | Until cleared | Necessary |
3. Cookies set on the application
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |

better-auth.session | Authenticated session — required to use the dashboard. | Up to 30 days, sliding | Necessary |
better-auth.csrf | CSRF protection on form submissions. | Session | Necessary |
4. Third-party services
- Stripe sets cookies on its own checkout pages. We don't embed Stripe scripts on the marketing site.
- Cloudflare may set the
__cf_bmbot-management cookie at the edge. It contains no personal data and exists to protect the service from automated abuse.
5. Controlling cookies
Because we don't set non-essential cookies, there's no consent banner to dismiss. If you'd like to clear what we've set, your browser's privacy settings let you delete cookies and localStorage at any time. Note: clearing the session cookie will sign you out.
6. Changes
If we ever introduce non-essential cookies (we have no plans to), this page will be updated and we'll request consent before they're set.
