Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how DevMarket ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our platform.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, login status, and browsing behavior to provide a better user experience.

2. Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for core platform functionality and cannot be disabled. They include:

• Authentication cookies — managed by Clerk to keep you signed in and secure your session.
• Visitor ID cookie (market_visitor_id) — an anonymous identifier used to prevent duplicate view counts. This cookie does not contain personal information.
• CSRF protection tokens — used to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.

3. Analytics Cookies

We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to understand platform usage patterns, page load performance, and error rates. These tools collect anonymized, aggregated data and do not track individual users across websites.

4. Preference Cookies

We store your theme preference (light/dark mode) using local storage to remember your display settings across visits. This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Our payment partner Whop may set cookies during the checkout flow to process listing fee payments securely. These cookies are governed by Whop's own privacy and cookie policies.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using certain platform features like signing in or listing projects.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
