Cookie Policy
Last updated: 28 August 2026
Draft template — pending professional legal review.
This document is a working draft prepared for the Artable platform. It has not been reviewed or approved by a qualified lawyer and is not legal advice. Square-bracketed values such as [Company Legal Name] and [Jurisdiction] are deliberate placeholders for a legal review to complete.
1. What this covers
Cookies are small files a website asks your browser to store and send back on later requests. This policy explains what [Company Legal Name] stores on your device when you use Artable, and why. It covers cookies and equivalent browser storage such as local storage.
2. The short version
Artable currently uses a small number of cookies, all of them functional. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or third-party analytics cookies, and we do not sell or share browsing data with advertisers. You will not see a cookie consent banner today because we do not currently set any cookie that requires consent — if that ever changes, we will ask before setting it.
3. Cookies we set
Strictly necessary
Required for the Service to work. These cannot be turned off through a consent choice, because without them you cannot sign in or stay signed in.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Set by our authentication provider to keep you signed in and to identify you on each request, so we can serve the content you are entitled to. Split across numbered parts when large. | Session, refreshed while you stay active |
| Stripe checkout cookies | Set by Stripe on Stripe's own hosted payment pages, for fraud prevention and to complete a payment. Governed by Stripe's privacy notice, not this one. | Set and controlled by Stripe |
Functional
Not essential to sign in, but needed for a specific feature to behave correctly.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| artable_ref_code | Remembers the referral or affiliate code you arrived with, so that whoever referred you is credited when you eventually join — which may be days later, after you confirm your email. It stores only the code itself, no identifier for you, and is not used for advertising or profiling. | 30 days |
Analytics and advertising
None. Artable does not currently run any third-party analytics, attribution or advertising tag. If we introduce analytics in future, this policy will be updated and, where the law requires it, we will ask for your consent before any non-essential cookie is set — not afterwards.
4. Creators' own spaces
Creator spaces run on Artable's own infrastructure and use the same cookies described above. A creator cannot add their own tracking scripts or third-party pixels to their space.
Content embedded from elsewhere — for example a video hosted on a third-party service — may set that service's own cookies when it loads. Those are governed by that service's cookie and privacy policies.
5. Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings, and browsers usually let you do this per site. Blocking the strictly necessary cookies above will prevent you from signing in or accessing anything you have paid for. Blocking the referral cookie only means a referral may not be credited.
Signing out clears your session cookies. Clearing site data for Artable in your browser removes all of them.
6. Changes and contact
We will update this policy whenever the cookies we use change, and the date at the top will reflect that. Questions: [Privacy Contact], [Company Legal Name], [Registered Address].
