1. What cookies are
Cookies are small data files stored by your browser. Liftrank’s authentication provider, Clerk, uses cookies and short-lived tokens to remember whether you are signed in, refresh sessions, and protect account access.
2. Cookies currently used
| Cookie | Purpose | Typical duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
__session | Short-lived signed token used to authenticate requests to Liftrank. | About 60 seconds; refreshed while the session remains active. | Strictly necessary |
__client | Maintains the authenticated client on Clerk’s production frontend domain and issues fresh session tokens. | Persistent; limited by the browser and Clerk session settings. | Strictly necessary |
__client_uat | Helps Clerk determine when the client session was last updated. | Session-dependent. | Strictly necessary |
__clerk_handshake and similar temporary cookies | Completes secure session refresh or authentication handshakes. | Temporary. | Strictly necessary |
__clerk_db_jwt | Development-only browser token used by Clerk on local or development instances. | Development only; browser-dependent. | Strictly necessary |
_cfuvid (may appear) | Cloudflare cookie used on Clerk infrastructure to distinguish traffic and protect the service. | Set by provider configuration. | Strictly necessary/security |
3. No advertising cookies
Liftrank does not currently set advertising, cross-site behavioral tracking, or optional analytics cookies. For that reason, there is no cookie-consent banner: strictly necessary cookies are required to provide the service and cannot be switched off within Liftrank. If optional analytics, advertising, or similar technology is added, we will update this policy and introduce consent controls before enabling it where required.
4. Your controls
You can delete or block cookies in your browser. Blocking Clerk’s necessary cookies will prevent sign-in or cause sessions to end. Private-browsing modes may delete them when the window closes. Signing out ends the active Liftrank session, though some provider security cookies may expire according to their own settings.
5. Changes and contact
Cookie names and durations may change when Clerk updates its security architecture. We will revise this page if the purpose or categories materially change. Questions may be sent to privacy@liftrank.tech. See the Privacy Policy for more about service providers and personal information.
