Cookie Policy

Last updated

This Cookie Policy explains how Grid+Mark uses cookies and similar technologies on gridandmark.com, in the client dashboard, and on the websites we host for clients. It's part of our Privacy Policy.

The short version: we only use cookies needed to sign you in and make the Service work. We don't use advertising cookies, and we don't let third parties track you across sites.

Cookies we set

  • Sign-in cookies (Clerk). These keep clients signed in to the dashboard. They're set by Clerk, our authentication provider, on our own domains. They're needed for sign-in to work.
  • gm_tenant. This keeps you signed in to your site's dashboard after you sign in. It expires after 7 days.
  • gm_preview. This remembers a preview link you've opened, so the preview keeps working as you click around. It expires 30 days after your last visit.
  • gm_admin, gm_admin_panel. These are used only by Grid+Mark staff for administration. They expire after 24 hours.

Browser storage

We also use your browser's session storage and local storage for small, functional things. These values never leave your browser unless they're needed to deliver the feature:

  • gm_sid: a random session ID used to count visits without identifying you. It's cleared when you close the tab.
  • Whether you've already seen or closed a site's contact pop-up, so it doesn't keep appearing.
  • Whether a preview's view has already been counted, and error-recovery flags that prevent reload loops.

Third-party content

Some sites we build load typefaces from Google Fonts. Some sites show an Instagram feed provided by Behold. When those load, your browser connects to those providers, and they receive your IP address and browser details. We don't use them to track you, and they don't set advertising cookies through our sites.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block sign-in cookies, you won't be able to use the dashboard. Blocking other storage won't break the public websites.
