Last updated: September 11, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how SystemSculpt ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (systemsculpt.com). By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or other electronic device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and provide information to the owners of the site.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They include:
- Authentication Cookies: Used by Clerk to maintain your login session and ensure secure access to your account.
- Security Cookies: Used for CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection and other security measures.
- Session Management: Used to maintain your session state while browsing our website.
- Load Balancing: Used to distribute traffic across our servers for optimal performance.
Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) - ensuring website security and functionality.
3.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization:
- User Preferences: Remember your choices such as timezone settings and display preferences.
- Language/Region Settings: Remember your preferred language or regional settings.
Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) - providing enhanced user experience.
3.3 Analytics
We use analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Our approach varies by region and privacy signals:
- DataFast (proxied): Loaded via first‑party paths (e.g.,
/js/script.jsand/api/events). Outside the EEA/UK/CH, DataFast runs by default to provide privacy‑friendly, aggregate analytics. In the EEA/UK/CH, DataFast only runs if you enable analytics, and it is disabled when Global Privacy Control (GPC) is active unless you explicitly override it. - Google Analytics (if configured): Respecting Google Consent Mode. Disabled by default in the EEA/UK/CH and when GPC is active unless you explicitly allow it.
- Server Logs: We collect basic, aggregate request information (for example, paths and response codes) to operate and protect the service.
Legal basis: Consent (where required). You can adjust analytics at any time via the cookie banner or Cookie Settings. We also honor GPC signals.
3.4 Third-Party Service Cookies
Cookies set by third-party services we integrate with:
- Stripe: Used for secure payment processing and fraud prevention.
- Clerk: Used for authentication and user management.
- Google Fonts: May set cookies when loading web fonts.
- CDN Services: Content delivery networks may use cookies for performance optimization.
4. Cookie Duration
We use both session and persistent cookies:
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted. Duration varies:
- Authentication cookies: Up to 30 days
- Preference cookies: Up to 1 year
- Analytics cookies: Up to 2 years
