Cookie policy

1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on caged.app and how you can control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains the wider picture of what we do with personal data.

By “cookies” we mean small text files stored on your device by your browser. By “similar technologies” we mean browser storage such as localStorage and sessionStorage, device and session identifiers, and pixel tags. Unless the context requires otherwise, all of these are covered by the word “cookies” in this policy.

2. Your choice

The first time you visit caged.app we ask for your consent through a cookie banner. You can “Accept all”, which enables strictly necessary and analytics cookies; “Reject”, which enables only strictly necessary cookies and loads nothing else; or open “Preferences” to choose category by category.

You can change your mind at any time by clicking “Cookie preferences” in the site footer, which re-opens the same panel.

We only load non-essential cookies — including Microsoft Clarity — after you have given consent for the relevant category. Rejecting analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use the Service.

3. Cookies we use

a. Strictly necessary

These are required for the site to function and to remember your choices. They do not require your consent. We use a single localStorage entry, “caged-cookie-consent”, set by caged.app and persistent, to record which categories you have accepted so that we do not ask you again on every page load. This entry does not identify you.

When you sign in to the Caged application itself, a session cookie or token is also set by our authentication layer. This is strictly necessary to keep you logged in and to secure your session. It cannot be disabled if you want to use an account.

b. Analytics (with your consent)

If — and only if — you consent, our marketing site uses Microsoft Clarity to produce aggregated usage statistics and anonymised session recordings of the marketing site, so that we can understand how the site is used and improve it.

Typical cookies and identifiers Clarity sets include _clck, _clsk, CLID, ANONCHK, MR, MUID, and SM. Storage durations range from session-only up to around 12 months depending on the identifier. Exact behaviour is governed by Microsoft — see the Microsoft privacy statement at https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement and the Clarity documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/clarity.

Clarity is a processor acting on our instructions. We have configured it to respect your consent choice: if you reject or withdraw analytics consent, Clarity is disabled via its consent API and any data already collected is no longer associated with further activity on your device.

4. What we do not use

We do not use advertising cookies. We do not use cross-site tracking cookies for marketing. We do not load third-party social-media widgets that set tracking cookies. We do not sell cookie data to anyone.

5. Managing cookies in your browser

Separately from our banner, most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Details for the main browsers: Chrome at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647; Safari at https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471; Firefox at https://support.mozilla.org/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer; and Edge at https://support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site and the Service from working.

6. Do Not Track

Browser “Do Not Track” signals are not yet handled consistently across the web. We respect the choices you make through our cookie banner and do not rely on Do Not Track signals.

7. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we add a new category or a new cookie vendor, we will request fresh consent through the banner. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page shows the current version.
