## What Cookies We Use

Checkgrow is committed to transparent and privacy-respecting use of cookies and tracking technologies. This page explains what cookies are placed when you use the platform, which are essential versus optional, and exactly how to manage your preferences.

Checkgrow uses the following categories of cookies and tracking technologies:

## Core Platform Cookies

**Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies**

These cookies are required for the platform to function. Without them, you cannot log in, maintain a session, or use core features. They cannot be disabled.

Examples:

-   Authentication session tokens
-   Security verification tokens (Cloudflare Turnstile)
-   User interface state (dark/light mode preference)
-   CSRF protection tokens

**Functional Cookies**

These cookies remember your preferences to improve your experience. Disabling them may affect how the platform behaves.

Examples:

-   Selected company workspace
    
-   Sidebar collapse state
    
-   Notification preferences
    

## Analytics and Marketing Cookies

**Analytics Cookies**

These cookies help us understand how users interact with the platform — which features are used, where errors occur, and how performance can be improved. Analytics cookies require your explicit consent.

> Checkgrow uses privacy-focused analytics that operate at an aggregate level. We do not build individual user behavioral profiles or sell usage data to advertisers.

**Marketing / Tracking Cookies (Optional)**

These cookies enable marketing measurement tools such as Google Tag Manager. They require your explicit, opt-in consent before activation.

> No marketing or tracking cookies are placed until you provide explicit consent. If you do not consent, these services remain fully blocked.

## How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

-   **On first visit:** A cookie consent banner appears with options to accept all, reject non-essential, or customize your preferences.
    
-   **At any time:** Open **My Account → Cookie Privacy → Privacy Settings** to access the full Usercentrics preference center where you can enable or disable each category individually.
    
-   **Browser-level control:** You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using core features.
    

## Consent Withdrawal for Cookies

If you initially granted consent and later wish to withdraw it, you can do so at any time through the Privacy Settings panel. Your preferences are respected immediately — analytics and marketing tools are deactivated as soon as consent is withdrawn, without requiring a page reload.

Every consent change is logged for compliance purposes, including the timestamp and the categories affected.
