Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
This page lists every cookie and browser-storage key Prepliq sets, what it is for, and how long it stays on your device. It complements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. We also use the related browser feature localStorage, which keeps values on your device but does not automatically send them to a server. Both are covered by this policy.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for Prepliq to work and are exempt from consent under § 25 (2) TTDSG.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
better-auth.session_token | Keeps you signed in (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax). | 7 days |
prepliq_authed | Lightweight signal that you are signed in, so the landing page can show “Dashboard” instead of “Sign in” without a server round-trip. Holds only the value 1 — no personal data. | 7 days |
3. localStorage values
These keys live in your browser’s localStorage. They never leave your device and are never transmitted to our servers.
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
cookie-consent | Records that you have seen and accepted or declined the cookie banner. | Until cleared |
plan-expiry-banner-last-dismissed | Date stamp so the “your plan is expiring” banner is not shown more than once per day. | Until cleared |
conversation-guide-dismissed | Remembers that you closed the conversation-mode help card so it does not reappear. | Until cleared |
fillInBlanks_hintSeen | Remembers that you saw the gap-fill exercise hint. | Until cleared |
coach-mark-* | Per-feature flags so first-time tooltips and coach marks do not reappear after you have seen them. | Until cleared |
4. Third-party cookies
Prepliq does not embed third-party tracking scripts on the main site. When you reach a checkout page, you are redirected to Stripe’s hosted Checkout at checkout.stripe.com. Stripe sets its own cookies there for fraud prevention and session continuity, governed by Stripe’s privacy policy.
We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or social-media tracking cookies. If that changes, we will update this page and ask for your consent before any non-essential script loads.
5. Managing or deleting these values
- You can clear cookies and localStorage at any time from your browser settings (typically: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data).
- Disabling the
better-auth.session_tokencookie will sign you out and prevent you from staying signed in. - Clearing localStorage will reset coach marks and hint dismissals but will not affect your account or saved exam attempts — those live in our database.
6. Changes to this policy
If we add or remove any cookies or localStorage keys, this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top revised.
