Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 2026
CastProof ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide, secure, and improve our platform at castproof.com. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and give site operators reporting information.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by a different domain). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the CastProof platform. Without them, core functionality — such as logging in, navigating between pages, and accessing secure areas — would not be possible. Essential cookies cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cp_session | Maintains your authenticated session | Session |
| cp_csrf | Prevents cross-site request forgery | Session |
| cp_refresh | Stores refresh token for session renewal | 30 days |
| cf_turnstile | Cloudflare Turnstile bot protection | Session |
2.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the CastProof platform — which pages are visited most, how users navigate the site, and whether errors occur. All information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymized.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _cp_analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | 1 year |
| _cp_session_id | Groups page views into sessions | 30 minutes |
2.3 Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your settings and preferences — such as your preferred theme (light or dark mode), language, and display options — so that you don't need to set them each time you visit.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| theme | Stores your light/dark mode preference | 1 year |
| cp_cookie_consent | Records your cookie consent preferences | 1 year |
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on CastProof are set by third-party services that we use to operate the platform:
3.1 Stripe (Payment Processing)
Stripe may set cookies to process payments, prevent fraud, and comply with financial regulations. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
3.2 Cloudflare (Security & Performance)
Cloudflare may set cookies to provide DDoS protection, bot mitigation (Turnstile), and content delivery optimization. These cookies are governed by Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Here are links to cookie management instructions for popular browsers:
Please note: Disabling essential cookies may impair your ability to log in, make payments, or use core platform features. Analytics and preference cookies can be disabled without affecting core functionality.
5. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. CastProof currently does not respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-wide standard for how to interpret them. However, you can manage your tracking preferences using the browser cookie controls described above.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our business practices. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
