Cookie Policy

Effective Date: July 5, 2026

Last Updated: July 5, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how PreShiftIQ™ ("PreShiftIQ," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on preshiftiq.com and app.preshiftiq.com (together, the "Site" and the "Platform"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more broadly.

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and tags; throughout this policy, references to "cookies" include these similar technologies where applicable.

2. Cookies We Use

The cookies set on the Site and Platform fall into the following categories:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Site and Platform to function properly. They cannot be switched off in our cookie banner because the Site and Platform will not work correctly without them. They include:

Session and security cookies set by the Squarespace platform to maintain page state, prevent cross-site request forgery, and protect against malicious activity.

Cookie consent cookies that record your preferences from the cookie banner so we don't prompt you on every page.

Authentication and session cookies set by our authentication provider (Clerk) on the Platform to keep you signed in and secure your account. The Platform cannot function without them.

Payment cookies set by our payment processor (Stripe) during checkout on the Platform, used for fraud prevention and payment session integrity.

2.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site: which pages are viewed, how long visits last, and where traffic comes from. They are set only after you consent via the cookie banner. We currently use:

Squarespace Analytics (first-party) for basic visitor measurement: page views, sessions, referrers, and aggregate device/browser information.

If we add additional analytics tools in the future (for example, Google Analytics 4), we will update this policy and the cookie banner to reflect that change.

2.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience, for example, preferred language or display preferences. These are set as needed by the Squarespace platform.

2.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

PreShiftIQ™ does not currently use marketing or advertising cookies on the Site. We do not run third-party advertising networks, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking pixels (such as the Meta Pixel or LinkedIn Insight Tag) at this time. If this changes, we will update this policy and request your consent before such cookies are set.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some pages may include embedded content from third-party services (for example, social media icons or external links). These third parties may set their own cookies if you interact with their content. PreShiftIQ™ does not control these cookies; please refer to each third party's privacy policy for details. As of the effective date above, the Site does not embed third-party video, chat, scheduling, or social feed widgets that set tracking cookies.

4. Your Choices

You have several ways to control cookies:

Cookie banner. When you first visit the Site, you may Accept All, Decline All, or Manage Cookies to choose which non-essential categories to allow. You can revisit your choices at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer.

Browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Doing so may affect Site and Platform functionality.

Do Not Track. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals, as no consistent industry standard exists.

5. International Users

If you are visiting the Site from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar requirements, non-essential cookies are not set until you provide affirmative consent through the cookie banner. If you are visiting from California or another U.S. state with consumer privacy laws, you may exercise the rights described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Site, the Platform, the technologies we use, or applicable law. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was most recently revised. Material changes will be reflected in the cookie banner.
