Cookie Policy
1What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your computer or mobile device so it can remember information about your visit. This helps the site work properly and remember your preferences.
LanePilot Technology, LLC ("LanePilot," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on LanePilotTech.com and within the LanePilot platform (together, the "Service"). This Policy explains what we use, why, and how you can control it.
This Policy applies to all visitors and users. The Service is built for business users and does not offer a consumer tier. It is not directed at anyone under 18.
2Categories of Cookies We Use
A. Essential cookies. These let the Service function and include authentication session tokens that keep you signed in, cross-site request forgery protection tokens, and bot-detection tokens. Essential cookies are required and cannot be disabled through our consent banner. Most last for your browsing session, up to a maximum of 24 hours. One of them is different. The cookie that stores your own cookie choice, described in Section 4, has to outlast the session, because otherwise we would have to ask you again on every visit. It lasts one year, which is the same period we keep our own record of the choice, so the cookie on your device and our record of it expire together. It is treated as essential because it is how we honor the choice you made.
B. Functional cookies. These remember choices so the Service is consistent when you return, including display and interface preferences, account settings you have chosen, which plan your account interface reflects, and which view you last used. Functional cookies last up to 12 months. You can disable them through your browser or our consent banner, though parts of the Service may not remember your preferences.
C. Analytics cookies. We use PostHog to understand how the Service is used, collecting page views, feature usage events, and session behavior such as click patterns and time spent. We use this for product analytics, to understand how quickly new users reach key milestones, and to measure satisfaction. Analytics cookies last up to 24 months. You can disable them through our consent banner without losing access to the Service.
D. Security and bot-protection cookies. We use Cloudflare to set cookies and similar identifiers supporting denial-of-service protection, fraud prevention, and rate limiting. These may include IP-based signals Cloudflare uses to distinguish legitimate traffic from automated or malicious traffic. They last up to 30 days. Because they protect the Service and its users from attack and abuse, they cannot be disabled through the consent banner.
E. Referral attribution cookie. When a visitor uses a valid LanePilot referral link or code, LanePilot sets a signed first-party attribution token that lasts up to 30 days. It remembers the referral until an Organization account is created, applies the qualification window, and helps prevent duplicate or fraudulent attribution. The browser value does not contain a readable referrer Organization identifier. LanePilot stores a hash of the token server-side. The cookie is not used for cross-site advertising or behavioral profiling. You may block or delete it through your browser, but LanePilot may then be unable to attribute the referral or provide the related reward.
The categories, providers, and durations described in this Section were last verified on August 17, 2026. LanePilot re-verifies them after any change to its analytics, authentication, hosting, security, or referral-attribution systems.
3Third-Party Cookie Providers
Some cookies are set by providers we work with rather than directly by LanePilot:
- Cloudflare sets the security, bot-detection, and performance cookies described in Sections 2(A) and 2(D).
- PostHog sets the analytics cookies described in Section 2(C).
- Clerk, our identity provider, sets the authentication and session cookies described in Section 2(A).
- Vercel, our hosting provider, may set cookies and similar identifiers necessary to route and serve requests.
These providers' own privacy policies govern how they process data collected through their cookies, in addition to this Policy.
The complete list of LanePilot's sub-processors, including these providers and their roles, appears in our Privacy Policy. That list is the authoritative one, and this Policy is kept consistent with it.
4Managing Cookies
Consent banner. When you first visit LanePilotTech.com we show a cookie-consent banner. The banner is the mechanism through which you control non-essential cookies, meaning the functional cookies in Section 2(B) and the analytics cookies in Section 2(C). It gives you three choices: accept non-essential cookies, reject them, or open the settings and decide category by category which of them you allow. We do not set non-essential cookies before you choose, and we apply whatever you choose. The essential cookies in Section 2(A) and the security and bot-protection cookies in Section 2(D) are not offered as a choice, because the Service cannot authenticate you or defend itself without them. The referral attribution cookie in Section 2(E) is set only when you use a valid referral link or code. You can change your non-essential cookie choice at any time by reopening the banner settings, or by clearing your cookies and revisiting the Service, which shows the banner again.
Our record of your cookie choice. When you accept, reject, or change your cookie settings, we store your choice in a first-party cookie on your own device, together with a randomly generated identifier. That identifier is not linked to an account, a name, an email address, or an IP address, and by itself it tells us nothing about who you are. We also keep our own record of the choice, consisting of the categories you selected, the date and time you selected them, the version of this Policy in force at that moment, and that same random identifier. The identifier exists for one reason, which is so that a record on our side can be matched to the choice stored on your device. We do not use it for marketing, profiling, advertising, or tracking you across sites, and we do not merge it into any behavioral profile. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the same settings, which writes a new record.
Because we do not record an IP address or any account identifier alongside your cookie choice, these consent records do not identify you. We keep them for one year and then delete them. Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information generally, and any questions go to [email protected].
Browser controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings, including blocking all cookies, blocking third-party cookies only, or deleting cookies after each session. Check your browser's help documentation, since the steps differ.
What happens if you disable cookies. If you disable essential cookies you will not be able to sign in or use the Service, because they are required for authentication and basic security. If you disable functional or analytics cookies the Service still works, but it may not remember your preferences and we will not be able to measure usage to improve it. If you block or delete the referral attribution cookie, LanePilot may be unable to attribute the referral or provide the related reward.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting, and some browsers or extensions send a Global Privacy Control signal. LanePilot does not currently respond to either signal, because there is no common industry standard for interpreting Do Not Track and we have not yet implemented Global Privacy Control recognition. We do respect the choice you make in our consent banner.
5Local Storage and Similar Technologies
The Service may also use browser local storage and similar technologies to store functional and session-related data on your device. We treat these the same way we treat functional cookies for the purposes of this Policy, so the same retention expectations and the same options in Sections 2(B) and 4 apply.
6Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy, for example to reflect a new analytics tool or a change in how we use cookies. If we make a material change we will give at least 30 days' notice before it takes effect, by posting an updated version and updating the effective date, and by emailing registered users at the business email address on file. Continuing to use the Service after a material change takes effect means you accept the updated Policy. If you do not agree, stop using the Service before it takes effect, and contact [email protected] with any questions.
7Relationship to the Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and is incorporated into it by reference. The Privacy Policy describes in more detail what personal data we collect, why, who we share it with, and what rights are available to you. On cookie-specific questions this Policy controls. On all other data-practice questions the Privacy Policy controls.
