Cookie Policy for ProfitGreen
Last Updated: October 16, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Arnav Murthi, operating as ProfitGreen ("we," "us," and "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to recognize you when you visit our website at https://profitgreen.app and our documentation at https://docs.profitgreen.app ("Websites").
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device.
- First-party cookies: Set by ProfitGreen to enable core functionality like logging you into your dashboard.
- Third-party cookies: Set by partners like Google (for analytics, only with your consent) and Stripe (on Stripe's own checkout and billing pages, for payments and fraud detection).
2. WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?
We use cookies for several essential and analytical reasons:
A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies
These are required for the technical operation of our Websites. Without these, you cannot log in or manage your subscription.
- Authentication: We use cookies to remember your login state via Discord so you don't have to re-authenticate on every page.
- Cookie Preferences: We store your cookie consent choices so we don't ask you again on every visit.
- Security & Fraud Prevention: Our payment processor, Stripe, uses cookies on its hosted checkout and billing pages to identify trusted devices and prevent fraudulent transactions.
B. Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how users interact with our site so we can improve the experience. They are off by default and are only set if you opt in through our cookie banner. On our documentation site, Google Analytics uses Google's "Consent Mode": before you opt in, it may send limited, cookieless measurement signals but does not set any cookies.
- Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect information about how many people visit our site, which pages are most popular, and how users move between the documentation and the dashboard.
3. SPECIFIC COOKIES IN USE
We group our cookies into these functional categories:
| Category | Provider | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication | ProfitGreen (Auth.js) | Keeps you logged into the Dashboard across different pages. | Session / 30 Days |
| Security | ProfitGreen (Auth.js) | Prevents unauthorized "request forgery" attacks on your account. | Session |
| Cookie Preferences | ProfitGreen | Remembers your cookie consent choices. | Up to 6 months |
| Payments & Fraud | Stripe | Set on Stripe's checkout and billing pages. Essential for processing Pro upgrades and detecting fraudulent card use. | Various (up to 2 years) |
| Analytics | Google Analytics | Only set if you opt in. Tracks which features (like price alerts) are most popular to help us improve. | 2 years |
4. HOW CAN I CONTROL COOKIES?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Non-essential (analytics) cookies are disabled until you opt in.
- Cookie Consent Manager: You can update your preferences at any time through the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer or the initial consent banner. Our documentation site has its own cookie banner with the same choices; to change your choice there later, clear your browser's site data for docs.profitgreen.app and the banner will appear again.
- Browser Controls: You can set your browser to refuse all cookies. However, if you disable essential cookies, the Dashboard and Pro Upgrade features will not function correctly.
- Google Analytics Opt-out: You can specifically opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
We do not use web beacons, tracking pixels, or advertising cookies, and we do not allow third parties to track you across other websites for advertising. Our Websites use your browser's local storage to remember your display preferences (such as light or dark mode), and our documentation site also uses it to remember your cookie consent choices. Local storage is not sent to our servers.
6. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal reasons. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Please review this policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies. For more on how we handle personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
