Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give site owners useful information about how their site is being used.

This policy explains how stepbase (stepbase.ai) uses cookies and similar technologies, and what choices you have regarding their use.

How We Use Cookies

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on stepbase are set by third-party services that we use to operate the platform:

• Authentication provider (e.g., Auth0): sets cookies as part of the sign-in and session management process
• Stripe: may set cookies during the payment and checkout process to prevent fraud and maintain payment sessions

These third-party services have their own cookie and privacy policies. We encourage you to review them for more information about how they handle your data.

Cookie Duration

Cookies used by stepbase fall into two categories based on how long they persist:

• Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser. Used for authentication and CSRF protection.
• Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a set period (typically 7 to 30 days) or until you delete them. Used for remembering preferences and maintaining sessions across visits.

Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies are stored on your device
• Delete all or specific cookies
• Block cookies from specific or all websites
• Set preferences for first-party vs. third-party cookies

Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from signing in and using stepbase. Disabling functional or analytics cookies may reduce the quality of your experience but will not prevent you from using the core service.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, stepbase does not respond differently to DNT signals, but we limit tracking to what is described in this policy and do not engage in cross-site tracking for advertising purposes.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
