Cookies in the Pinavia app

The app sets only the cookies required to sign you in and keep your session secure. It sets no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, and nothing that tracks you across sites — which is why you see no cookie banner here.

Effective 2026-08-31Draft — under legal review

This notice is a complete draft prepared for legal review. It describes the cookies the product sets today, verified by direct inspection. If your procurement process requires a counsel-approved cookie notice before onboarding, request the reviewed version at hello@pinavia.io.

Why there is no cookie banner

Consent law asks for a choice where a choice exists. The app offers none to make: every cookie it sets is strictly necessary for signing in and holding a secure session, and consent rules exempt exactly that category.

A banner whose only category is a locked “always on” would be theatre — an interruption asking you to approve something that requires no approval. We publish this inventory instead, and commit to it staying true.

The complete inventory

Authentication runs through Clerk, and its session cookies are the only cookies the app sets:

  • __session — your signed-in session with this workspace. Expires when the session does.
  • __client — identifies this browser to the sign-in service so your session can be refreshed securely.
  • clerk_active_context — remembers which organisation and workspace you are acting in, so approvals are attributed to the right context.

What the app does not set

No analytics cookies, no advertising or social-media pixels, no cross-site identifiers of any kind. Product analytics use Plausible, which is cookieless by design: it stores nothing in your browser and cannot follow you anywhere else. There is no Google Analytics, no session recording, and no fingerprinting.

The marketing site is governed separately

pinavia.io — the public marketing site — has its own cookie controls, including a preference center reachable from its footer, because marketing surfaces may one day carry measurement that the product itself never will. Its consent choice is stored against pinavia.io only and does not follow you into the app.

If this ever changes

Adding any cookie beyond the sign-in set is a product decision, not a configuration change. It would require consent infrastructure to ship first, this notice to be revised with a new effective date, and existing customers to be told. Until all three happen, the inventory above is the complete list.
