Cookie Policy
inferlane.dev/reach sets a single functional cookie required for the language preference and dark/light theme toggle. No advertising cookies. No third-party trackers. No fingerprinting.
1. What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are used to remember information about your visit — for example, your language preference or whether you have already dismissed a notice.
2. Cookies Reach sets
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
reach.theme |
Functional | Stores your preferred color theme (dark/light) so it persists across page loads. | 1 year |
reach.cookie-consent |
Functional | Records that you have seen and acknowledged the cookie notice, so the banner does not reappear. | 1 year |
reach_operator |
Strictly necessary (operator dashboard sign-in) | Holds the HMAC-signed JSON Web Token (JWT) that identifies your operator account for inferlane.dev/reach/operator requests. HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, Secure in production. Set only after you sign in or sign up. Not used for tracking; not shared with third parties. Cleared on sign-out. |
7 days from issue (sliding); cleared on sign-out |
The reach_operator cookie is set by the api.reach.inferlane.dev backend (not the landing page itself) and travels only when your browser sends operator-dashboard requests. It is not accessible from JavaScript (the HttpOnly flag) so it is not exposed to extensions or third-party scripts.
3. Cookies the Reach extensions, Mac app, and hosted MCP server DO NOT set
The Reach Claude Desktop Extension, the Chrome / Safari extensions, the Mac menu bar application, and the ChatGPT-facing hosted MCP server do not set cookies on third-party sites. The extensions read tab URLs only — they do not inject content, scripts, or cookies into the pages you visit.
4. Third-party cookies
By default, the Reach landing page does not load any third-party scripts and does not set any third-party cookies. If you embed a third-party widget (for example, a payment processor's checkout flow for the premium SLA tier), that party's cookies will be governed by their own cookie policy. InferLane will surface a notice at the point of embedding when this applies.
5. Analytics
Reach does not run client-side analytics by default. The hosting provider (Vercel or equivalent) collects aggregated server-side metrics (page views, response times, geographic distribution at the country level) for capacity planning. These metrics do not identify individual users.
If InferLane introduces opt-in analytics in the future (for example, Plausible, a privacy-respecting analytics service), users will be asked to consent and may decline without affecting site functionality.
6. Controlling cookies
You can control cookies through your browser's settings. The major browsers offer:
- Chrome — Clear, allow, or block cookies
- Safari — Manage cookies
- Firefox — Cookie management
- Microsoft Edge — Delete cookies
Blocking the functional cookies will not break the site, but your theme preference will reset on each visit and the cookie notice banner will reappear.
7. Changes
If we add a new cookie or a third-party tracker, we will update this policy and surface a notice on the landing page before activation.
