Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies and similar technologies DawForge uses, and how you can control them. For the broader picture of how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They let the site remember who you are, keep you signed in, and — with your permission — measure how the site is used. Similar technologies such as localStorage serve comparable purposes.

2. Categories we use

Strictly necessary

Required to run the Service. You cannot opt out of these without breaking core functionality. Legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and Article 129(2) of the Belgian Electronic Communications Act.

  • Authentication cookies set by our identity provider (Clerk) to keep you signed in and protect against CSRF.
  • UI preferences stored in localStorage — for example, whether the sidebar is expanded.
  • Error monitoring via Sentry. When something breaks, Sentry receives a crash report so we can fix it. We do not enable session replay and do not use Sentry for analytics or behavioural tracking. We treat this as strictly necessary for the security and stability of the Service.
  • Cookie consent state stored in a cc_cookie cookie so we remember your choices on this page.

Analytics (consent required)

Help us understand how the Service is used so we can improve it. Set only after you give consent. Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 129 Belgian Electronic Communications Act).

  • PostHog (eu.i.posthog.com) — pseudonymous event tracking: page views, sign-ups, map creations, purchases. Retained up to 12 months. No session replay.

Advertising

None. We do not set advertising cookies and we do not sell your data.

3. Third-party pages

Parts of the checkout and account flows are hosted by Stripe and Clerk. When you interact with those pages, the respective provider may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy.

4. Managing cookies

You can change your consent at any time — — or by clearing your browser's storage for dawforge.com. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies per-site. Doing so for the strictly-necessary category will sign you out and may prevent parts of the Service from working.
