Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make sites work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide information to site operators.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as session storage and local storage to achieve comparable purposes within the platform.

Cold Dog Distribution uses cookies to:

• Keep you signed in during your session
• Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
• Remember your interface preferences
• Understand which features are used most and where users encounter friction
• Monitor platform stability and performance

We do not use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites.

Strictly Necessary — These cookies are essential for the platform to function. You cannot opt out of these without losing access to the service.

• _session — Rails session cookie that maintains your authenticated state. Expires when you close your browser or after 2 weeks of inactivity.
• _csrf_token — Security token that protects form submissions from cross-site request forgery attacks. Session-scoped.

Functional — These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience. They are not strictly required but enhance usability.

• ui_prefs — Stores sidebar state and table column preferences. Expires after 1 year.

Analytics — Anonymized data used to understand platform usage patterns. No personally identifiable information is included.

• Aggregate page view counts and feature interaction rates are logged server-side. No third-party analytics scripts are loaded on the platform.

Our payment processing is handled by Stripe. When you interact with payment-related features, Stripe may set cookies on your device for fraud detection and payment security purposes. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

We do not load any advertising networks, social media trackers, or other third-party tracking scripts. The only external resources loaded by the platform are Google Fonts (for typography) and Stripe.js (for payment input fields).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View cookies currently stored on your device
• Delete individual cookies or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Block all third-party cookies

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the Cold Dog Distribution platform. Functional and analytics cookies can be blocked without affecting core platform access.
