Cookie Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 | Last Reviewed: August 2, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how ContractExtract uses them, and how you can control your cookie preferences.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Secure, HttpOnly entitlement cookies verify one anonymous free analysis per month and any previously issued access entitlement. The free-tier cookie contains a signed random token and month, not contract content or account information.

Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics is optional and remains blocked until you select "Allow analytics." If allowed, it may set analytics cookies after the site sends only a sanitized page title and path. Contract files, analysis results, payment details, form values, and URL query strings are not included in these page views.

Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

Google AdSense is not currently enabled, its script is not loaded, and advertising cookies are not set by ContractExtract. Publisher ownership metadata may remain in the page for site verification.

For more information about how Google uses cookies for advertising, visit Google's Advertising Policies.

How to Control Cookies

ContractExtract currently uses only entitlement cookies needed to provide and protect the analysis service. You can remove them in your browser settings, but doing so may remove the current month's free entitlement or a previously issued access entitlement.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality.

Third-Party Cookies

Paid checkout is currently disabled, so ContractExtract does not send visitors to a Stripe Checkout page. ContractExtract does not currently load Google AdSense, Microsoft Clarity, or Cookiebot. Google Analytics loads only after explicit permission and can be disabled again through the persistent Privacy choices button. It never loads on the upload or results routes, and a Global Privacy Control signal keeps it off.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
