Cookie Policy

_Last updated: April 30, 2026_

This Cookie Policy explains the small files DTPulse stores in your browser when you use dtpulse.com. It complements the Privacy Policy.

1. Why we keep this short

DTPulse does not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, or third-party analytics that profile you across sites. We use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences inside the app. The list below is exhaustive.

2. Cookies we set

Name	Purpose	Type	Lifetime
`__Secure-authjs.session-token` (HTTPS) / `authjs.session-token` (HTTP)	Authentication — keeps you signed in. Set after login, cleared on sign-out.	Strictly necessary	30 days (sliding)
`authjs.csrf-token`	CSRF protection for sign-in and form submissions.	Strictly necessary	Session
`authjs.callback-url`	Stores the page to return to after sign-in.	Strictly necessary	Session
`locale`	Remembers the language you chose in the language switcher.	Functional	1 year
`theme`	Remembers light / dark / system theme preference.	Functional	1 year

All cookies are first-party (set by dtpulse.com) and use HttpOnly and Secure flags where appropriate.

3. Cookies we do not use

No Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no PostHog, no Amplitude, no Segment.
No Facebook Pixel, no LinkedIn Insight Tag, no advertising cookies of any kind.
No fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking, no session-replay tools.

The "0" in our landing page header — under "cookies for tracking" — refers to this policy.

4. Third-party cookies via integrations

If your admin connects an integration (Slack, Google SSO, Microsoft Teams), the third party may set its own cookies on its own domain when you authenticate there. Those cookies are governed by the third party's privacy and cookie policies, not by us.

5. Stripe

When you reach the billing/checkout page hosted by Stripe, Stripe sets its own cookies for fraud prevention and session management. See https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal.

6. Local Storage

Besides cookies, the application uses your browser's localStorage to cache non-sensitive data (e.g. recently viewed employees, holiday lists, department trees) so the UI stays fast. This data stays on your device, is never sent to any third party, and you can clear it at any time from your browser settings.

7. Managing cookies

Your browser lets you block or delete cookies through its settings. If you block the cookies marked strictly necessary, you will not be able to sign in. Blocking the functional cookies will simply reset your language and theme preferences each visit.
