Cookie Policy

1. What this policy covers

This Cookie Policy explains how Classroom Radar uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies on the public site and inside the application.

2. Essential cookies and storage

• Authentication cookies that keep users signed in securely.
• Organization-selection and session state that allows workspace switching and protected route access.
• Preference storage for interface state, layout behavior, and related product settings.
• Security and abuse-prevention storage used to help defend the service against misuse.

3. Embedded and third-party technologies

When users interact with payment flows, connected services, embedded videos, or other third-party tools, those providers may place cookies or similar tracking technologies of their own.

For example, Stripe-hosted billing experiences and embedded video providers may set cookies governed by their own policies.

4. Analytics and bot protection

• Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity are optional and off until you choose Allow analytics in the banner on the public website. If you choose No analytics, or make no choice, they never load. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of any public page; turning them off stops them and removes their cookies.
• With your permission, public website pages (not the planner) use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people find useful. Advertising features, ad personalization and ad data sharing are turned off.
• With your permission, public website pages also use Microsoft Clarity to understand where the site is confusing, through anonymised heatmaps and session replays with form fields masked. Clarity is stopped as soon as you open the planner, and planner content is masked.
• Every page, including the planner, uses Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, which count page loads and measure loading speed without cookies. Web addresses are trimmed of query strings and share links before they are sent.
• Sign-in, sign-up, password reset and the waitlist use Vercel BotID, an invisible check that the request comes from a real browser, to block automated abuse. It does not set advertising or tracking cookies.
• Lesson plans, prompts, notes, class lists and student information are never sent to analytics providers.

5. Current cookie categories

• Strictly necessary cookies required to operate the site or app.
• Functional preferences used to remember choices such as layout state and other UX settings.
• Operational or security storage used to support login protection and service reliability.
• Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity on public website pages only, and only after you allow them. Your choice itself is remembered in this browser’s local storage.

6. Your choices

• Most browsers let you block, delete, or restrict cookies through browser settings.
• Blocking essential cookies may prevent sign-in, billing flows, or core application functionality from working correctly.
• Use Cookie settings at the bottom of any public page to allow or refuse optional analytics at any time.
• You can also opt out of Google Analytics across sites with Google’s browser add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), and browser privacy settings or content blockers can block Clarity and other analytics scripts without affecting the planner.
