Cookies

the short version
- Feedz only stores what it needs to work: keeping you signed in, and remembering choices you've made.
- No advertising cookies, no tracking cookies, no cookie banner — because there's nothing to consent to.
- Our analytics store nothing on your device, and you can switch them off below.
What we store, and why
UK law lets a website store things on your device without asking when they're strictly necessary for something you've asked for. That's all Feedz stores:
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
__session | Clerk (sign-in) | Keeps you signed in | Until it expires or you sign out |
__client_uat | Clerk (sign-in) | Lets the site check whether you're signed in | Up to a year |
__client | Clerk, on its own sign-in domain | Your sign-in session itself | Up to a year |
__clerk_handshake | Clerk (sign-in) | Passes your session safely between pages while signing in | A few seconds |
__clerk_environment | Clerk (local storage) | Keeps a copy of the sign-in form's settings, so it loads quickly | Until Clerk refreshes it |
__cf_bm, _cfuvid | Cloudflare, on Clerk's sign-in domain | Tell people from bots and stop sign-in being flooded | 30 minutes; until you close your browser |
feedz-theme | Feedz (local storage) | Remembers light or dark, if you choose | Until you clear it |
feedz-analytics | Feedz (local storage) | Remembers that you switched analytics off | Until you clear it |
feedz-preview | Feedz | Only if you're given a preview link: shows you the site before it opens | 30 days |
| A few short-lived values | Feedz (session storage) | Carry you through a flow, like following a creator straight after signing up | Until you close the tab |
Clerk sometimes adds a short code to the end of its cookie names (like __client_uat_a1b2c3) — the same cookies, doing the same jobs.
Analytics
We count which pages and features get used, with PostHog (hosted in the EU) — without storing anything on your device. It's described in our privacy policy. To switch it off:
Other sites
When you pay, Stripe's checkout runs on Stripe's own site and sets its own cookies there, mainly to prevent fraud. And every post on Feedz links to its platform — once you're on YouTube or Substack, their cookie policies apply.
Clearing them
Your browser's settings can clear or block all of this. Clearing Clerk's cookies signs you out; clearing the others just resets your choices.
