Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 5, 2026
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. This policy explains the cookies PayoutDash uses, what they do, and how you can control them.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for PayoutDash to function. Authentication, session management, and your saved preferences depend on them. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without breaking core functionality.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| __clerk_db_jwt | Authentication session token | Session | Essential |
| __session | User session persistence | 7 days | Essential |
| __client_uat | Client update tracking for auth sync | Session | Essential |
| pd_consent | Stores your cookie consent choice | 1 year | Essential |
| pd_theme | Remembers your dark/light mode preference | 1 year | Essential |
Analytics Cookies
With your consent, we use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to understand how people use PayoutDash. All analytics data is anonymized. We also use a server-side analytics service that operates without cookies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users | 2 years | Analytics |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — stores session state | 2 years | Analytics |
| _gtm_* | Google Tag Manager — tag configuration | Session | Analytics |
GDPR Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2. This means:
- Before you interact with our cookie banner, all analytics and advertising cookies remain inactive.
- If you click Accept All, we activate analytics cookies and Google Tag Manager loads fully.
- If you click Decline, Google Tag Manager loads in consent mode — only anonymized, cookieless pings may be sent. No identifying cookies are set.
- Your choice is remembered for 1 year via the
pd_consentcookie.
Third-Party Cookies
We do not allow third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels. PayoutDash does not serve ads. The only third-party cookies we use are those from Google Analytics (analytics, with consent) and our authentication provider (essential). Paddle may set cookies on our checkout pages when you subscribe.
How to Manage Cookies
You have several options:
- Cookie banner. When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies.
- Browser settings. All major browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from staying logged in.
- Google Analytics opt-out. Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
