Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 20, 2026
This page lists every cookie and browser-storage item Makecepeit uses, what it does, and how long it lives. We use no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking — only what's needed to run the product, plus anonymous analytics. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland analytics cookies are set only if you accept them; elsewhere they are on by default and you can turn them off with Decline.
Essential cookies & storage (always on)
These are required for the site to function — signing in, enforcing free-plan limits, and keeping your draft receipts safe in your own browser. They can't be switched off.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token (Supabase) | Keeps you signed in to your account. | Session / up to 1 year |
| rc_cookie_consent (local storage) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies. | Until you clear browser data |
| Draft & template storage (local storage) | Autosaves your receipt draft and saved templates in your own browser. | Until you clear browser data |
Analytics cookies
In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google Analytics runs in consent mode: until you click Accept it sends only cookieless, anonymous pings — no cookies are set and you are not identified. Clicking Accept switches it to full measurement (setting the cookies below).
Everywhere else, Google Analytics measures visits by default and sets the cookies below from your first page. Clicking Decline in the banner turns it back to cookieless pings and deletes the Google Analytics cookies already set.
In every country, Microsoft Clarity loads only after you click Accept, and no advertising features of Google Analytics are ever enabled. We also use Vercel Analytics, which is cookieless — it counts page views in aggregate without storing anything on your device or identifying you.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics) | Anonymous usage statistics: which pages and features are used. | Up to 2 years |
| _clck, _clsk, CLID (Microsoft Clarity) | Anonymous session insights (heatmaps, where the interface confuses people). | Up to 1 year |
Our own visit counter (no cookies)
To count visits and see which step of the site people leave at, we keep a small first-party record in our own database — never shared with a third party. It uses the browser-storage items below rather than cookies, and they hold random ids and a source label, not anything about who you are.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| mkc_aid, mkc_sid (local storage) | Two random ids — one for this browser, one for the current visit — so our own records count people rather than clicks. Nothing about you is in them. | Browser id until you clear browser data; visit id ends after 30 minutes idle |
| mkc_src, mkc_last_src, mkc_visited (local storage) | Which kind of site sent you (e.g. Google, Bing, direct) and whether this visit has been counted, so we can see where visitors come from and where they leave. | Source remembered for 7 days |
| mkc_ai_source (session storage) | Whether an AI assistant (ChatGPT, Perplexity…) sent you to us. | Until you close the tab |
Changing your choice
Your consent choice is stored in your browser. To change it, clear this site's browsing data (cookies and site data) in your browser settings — the banner will appear again on your next visit. Declining analytics never limits any feature, and once you decline, analytics cookies stay off wherever you are.
