Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 30, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Dropprompt (dropprompt.com) uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our platform.

Essential cookies are always active. They are required for login, security, and core functionality. They cannot be disabled without breaking the platform.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — like keeping you logged in — so you don't have to re-enter details every time.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Cookie Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
`PHPSESSID`	Essential	Keeps you logged in during your session	Session (closes with browser)
`user_consent`	Essential	Remembers your cookie consent choice	30 days
`dp_theme`	Preference	Stores your light/dark theme preference	Persistent (localStorage)
`ws_view`	Preference	Saves your workspace grid/list view choice	Persistent (localStorage)

3. Essential Cookies (Always On)

These cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function. Without them you cannot log in, maintain a session, or use protected features. They are set automatically and do not require your consent under applicable law.

Authentication: Your login session is maintained via a secure PHP session cookie
Security: CSRF tokens protect forms from cross-site request forgery
Consent memory: We store your consent choice so you aren't shown the banner repeatedly

4. Preference & Functional Cookies

These are stored in your browser's localStorage (not traditional cookies) and help us remember your UI preferences between visits. They contain no personal data and are not transmitted to our servers.

5. What We Do NOT Use

❌ Third-party advertising or tracking cookies
❌ Cross-site tracking pixels
❌ Analytics services that share data with third parties (e.g. Google Analytics) — not currently active
❌ Social media tracking cookies

6. Brave Browser & Strict Privacy Modes

Dropprompt is compatible with Brave browser and other privacy-focused browsers. Our session cookies are configured with SameSite=Lax and HttpOnly flags, which work correctly under Brave's default shield settings.

If you use Brave's Shields Up (Aggressive) mode, session cookies may still be blocked on some configurations. If you experience login issues, try setting Shields to "Standard" for dropprompt.com, or whitelist the domain.

7. Your Control

You can manage cookies in several ways:

Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies under Settings → Privacy. Note that blocking essential cookies will break login.
Incognito/Private mode: Cookies are deleted when you close the window. You will need to log in again each visit.
Clear site data: Use your browser's developer tools to clear cookies specifically for dropprompt.com.
