What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They serve a range of purposes — from keeping you signed in to remembering your preferences.
We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or any cookie that shares your data with third-party ad networks. This policy only covers first-party cookies set by prooftrace.io.
Cookies we use
We use a small, fixed set of first-party cookies:
| Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
pt_session | Strictly necessary | Session | Authenticates your hiring-team account. Deleted when you close your browser. |
pt_auth | Strictly necessary | 30 days | Persists your login so you don't have to sign in on every visit. Set only when you choose 'Stay signed in'. |
pt_consent | Preference | 1 year | Stores your cookie consent choice (Accept all / Essential only) so we don't show the banner on every page. |
pt_csrf | Strictly necessary | Session | A random token that protects form submissions from cross-site request forgery attacks. |
We do not use analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics, Mixpanel), social-media pixels, or any retargeting technology.
Cookies set by third-party services
Certain pages may embed content from third-party services (e.g. a YouTube video in a help article). Those services may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. We have no control over those cookies.
Where we use sub-processors (e.g. Stripe for payment processing), any cookies they set during checkout are governed by their own cookie policies and are limited to that context.
How to manage cookies
You have several options for controlling cookies:
- Browser settings. All modern browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies. See your browser's help documentation for instructions.
- Our consent banner. Click “Essential only” in the banner at the bottom of the page to decline preference cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the
pt_consentcookie in your browser.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in to Prooftrace.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. For significant changes, we will notify signed-in users by email.
