Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 16, 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you interact with pages. Some cookies are set by us; others are set by third-party services we use.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for three purposes:
- Essential — required for the site to function. These cannot be disabled without breaking core features like logging in and submitting forms.
- Functional — remember your preferences (e.g., dark/light mode) and support optional features like Google sign-in and payment processing.
- Analytics — measure aggregate usage patterns so we can improve the product. These are only loaded after you give consent.
Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Category | Set By | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| _counter_offer_session | Essential | Rails / Devise | Session and login state |
| CSRF token | Essential | Rails | Form security (cross-site request forgery protection) |
| theme preference | Functional | App | Remember dark/light color mode preference |
| _ga, _ga_*, _gid | Analytics | Google Analytics | Usage measurement (only loaded with consent) |
| __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Functional | Stripe | Fraud prevention during checkout |
| Google OAuth cookies | Functional | Authentication via Google sign-in (set on Google's domain) |
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services embedded in our site:
- Google Analytics — measures site usage in aggregate. See Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Cookie Policy
- Stripe — processes payments and prevents fraud. See Stripe's Privacy Policy and Stripe's Cookie Policy
- Google OAuth — enables "Sign in with Google." Cookies are set on Google's own domain during the authentication flow. See Google's Privacy Policy
Your Privacy Choices (California / CCPA-CPRA)
We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, CPRA.
You can opt out of analytics cookies at any time using the consent banner shown on your first visit. To change a previous choice, clear the cookie_consent cookie in your browser — the banner will reappear on your next page load. You may also use browser-level controls (see below) to block or delete cookies entirely.
Managing Cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking essential cookies will break login and form submission. Here are links to cookie controls for common browsers:
To revisit your analytics consent choice at any time, clear the cookie_consent cookie — the banner will reappear on your next visit.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our services. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of CounterOfferAi after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
