This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies DataCloud.sh uses on its website, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Last updated: April 28, 2026
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your browser or device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how visitors use their site.
Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — work in analogous ways and are also covered by this policy. For simplicity we refer to all of them as "cookies" throughout this document.
DataCloud.sh uses cookies on our marketing website (datacloud.sh) and our application dashboard (app.datacloud.sh) for the following purposes:
These cookies are essential for the website and application to function. Without them you cannot log in, authenticate API requests, or navigate securely between pages. They do not require your consent.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
dc_session | Maintains your authenticated session in the dashboard | Session / 7 days |
dc_csrf | Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks on form submissions | Session |
dc_theme | Remembers your light/dark mode preference | 1 year |
We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors navigate our website — which pages are popular, where users drop off, and what content drives sign-ups. This helps us improve the product experience. Where possible we configure analytics tools to anonymize IP addresses and disable cross-site tracking.
| Cookie / Tool | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics (first-party) | Page view counts, session counts, top referrers | Up to 13 months |
| Conversion tracking | Tracks whether a visitor signed up after visiting a specific page | 90 days |
Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have embedded on our pages.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Live chat widget | Remembers your conversation history in our support chat | 6 months |
| Language preference | Stores your preferred language if you have changed the default | 1 year |
We may use marketing cookies to understand the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show relevant ads to you on third-party platforms. These cookies are only placed with your consent. We do not use invasive cross-site tracking or sell your browsing data to advertising networks.
| Cookie / Tool | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Ad platform pixels (e.g., Google Ads) | Measures whether an ad click led to a sign-up (conversion tracking) | 90 days |
| Retargeting | Allows us to reach visitors who did not sign up with relevant ads on third-party sites | 30 days |
Some pages on our site embed content or scripts from third-party services (e.g., YouTube videos, payment forms, or embedded documentation). These third parties may set their own cookies according to their own privacy policies. We do not control third-party cookies and encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.
You have several options to manage or disable cookies:
All modern browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies through their settings menus. Blocking all cookies may prevent some parts of our website from working correctly (e.g., you will not be able to stay logged in). Links to cookie management guides for common browsers:
For analytics and advertising opt-outs you can also use industry tools such as the NAI Opt-Out or DAA Opt-Out. For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. At this time there is no common industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals and our website does not currently alter its behavior based on DNT signals. We will revisit this position if an enforceable standard is adopted.
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. We encourage you to periodically review this page.
