Cookie Policy
Last updated:
This Cookie Policy explains how CValuate ("we") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://cvaluate.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how pages are used. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels.
How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Strictly necessary: authentication, security, and load balancing. The Service cannot function without these.
- Functional: remembering preferences (e.g. checklist progress in browser local storage on free tools pages).
- Analytics: understanding traffic and feature usage to improve the Service. We ask for consent before setting non-essential analytics cookies.
Your choices
On your first visit we show a small banner asking you to Accept or Reject analytics cookies. Until you Accept, we do not set analytics cookies. You can change your mind at any time via (also available in the site footer) or your browser settings.

Third-party cookies
Clerk manages sign-in and may set strictly necessary cookies for your session. If you choose Google sign-in, Google may also set cookies governed by Google's policies. Our analytics provider may set cookies only after you Accept, under that provider's policies. We do not control third-party cookies: refer to those providers' policies.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings: block, delete, or alert you when cookies are set. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from using parts of the Service.
