Cookie Policy
Every cookie and every item of browser storage the platform sets, by name, and what a published site sets on its visitors.

What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text record a website asks your browser to keep and send back on later visits. Browsers also offer local storage and session storage, which a page can read but which are never sent with a request. This policy lists all three where Cliux uses them, because "cookie" alone would leave things out.
On the Cliux site and console
The marketing pages set nothing. Signing in to the console sets the cookies below; a password-protected preview link sets one more.
| Name | What it is and why | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| __session | A cookie set by Clerk. Keeps you signed in to the console. | Your session |
| __client_uat | A cookie set by Clerk. Tells Clerk when your sign-in state last changed, so every tab agrees. | Your session |
| share_unlock_<link> | A cookie set by Cliux. Remembers that you entered the password of a shared preview link, so you are not asked on every page. | 1 hour |
Clerk may also set short-lived helpers whose names start with __clerk_ while a sign-in is in progress. We do not run analytics on this site at all. No analytics or advertising cookies are set, nothing is stored on your device for measurement, and there is no cookie banner because there is nothing to ask you about. The only cookies here are the essential ones listed above.
On a site published with Cliux
A published site sets nothing until a feature needs it:
| Name | What it is and why | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| cliux_chat | A cookie set by Cliux. Keeps your live-chat conversation open across the pages of a site that runs the chat app. | 30 days |
| cliux-consent | Local storage set by Cliux. Remembers your answer to a site's consent banner. The banner appears only on a site whose owner has added a third-party tracker. | 180 days |
| cliux_vid | Local storage set by Cliux. A random visitor id for the site owner's first-party analytics. It is not a cookie, it is not sent to anyone but that site, and it does not follow you elsewhere. | Until you clear the site's data |
| cliux_session | Session storage set by Cliux. Groups one visit's page views for the same analytics. | The browser tab |
If the site's owner has added a Google Analytics or Meta Pixel id, those services set their own cookies, and only after you accept the site's consent banner; declining is a real refusal and the answer is kept in the item above. What a site owner collects through their own forms and store is described in that site's notice, not here.
Third parties
Clerk sets the sign-in cookies named above under its own policy. Stripe sets its own cookies on its checkout and billing pages, which are Stripe's pages, not ours. No advertising network and no cross-site tracker is loaded by the platform.
Managing cookies
Your browser can block, delete or warn about cookies and site data. Blocking the sign-in cookies means you cannot stay signed in to the console; blocking the chat cookie means a live-chat conversation does not follow you between pages. Nothing else on this list is needed for a page to work.
