Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site.

Cookies MantleWP Uses

MantleWP uses only essential cookies necessary for the platform to function. We do not use advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies.

Essential Cookies

• Session Cookies: Keep you logged in while you use the MantleWP dashboard. These expire when you close your browser or after an inactivity timeout.
• Authentication Cookies: Manage your login state after authenticating via magic link email. These ensure secure access to your account and data.
• CSRF Protection Cookies: Protect against cross-site request forgery attacks by validating that requests originate from MantleWP.

Cookies We Do NOT Use

MantleWP is privacy-first. We explicitly do not use:

• Google Analytics or any third-party analytics trackers
• Advertising or retargeting cookies
• Social media tracking cookies
• User behavior profiling cookies

We track product usage through our own server-side event logging system stored in our database. This gives us the insights we need to improve MantleWP without placing tracking cookies on your device. For more details on the data we collect, see our Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Cookies

The following third-party services may set cookies when you use MantleWP:

• Stripe (Payment Processing): Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention and secure payment transactions when you visit billing pages or complete a checkout. See Stripe's Cookie Policy for details.
• Resend (Email Delivery): Resend may include tracking pixels in transactional emails to measure delivery and open rates. These are not browser cookies but are noted here for transparency. You can disable email image loading in your email client settings if you prefer.

How to Manage Cookies

Browser Controls: Most modern browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can delete existing cookies or block new ones. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent MantleWP from working properly (you won't be able to stay logged in).

Clearing Cookies: You can clear cookies from your browser at any time. This is typically found in your browser's Privacy or History settings. Clearing cookies will log you out of MantleWP.

Do We Need a Cookie Banner?

Because MantleWP uses only essential cookies required for the Service to function, we are exempt from consent requirements under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. We do not display a cookie consent banner. If we add non-essential cookies in the future (such as analytics), we will update this policy and implement appropriate consent mechanisms.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if our cookie practices change. Material changes will be noted with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of MantleWP constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
