Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information about your session, preferences, or identity. AutoSAM (“we,” “us,” “our”) uses cookies and similar storage technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage) on the marketing website to remember your cookie preferences, understand how the site is used, and diagnose errors.

This policy describes cookies set today on the AutoSAM marketing site (autosam.io). AutoSAM does not yet operate a live product with user accounts, so no authentication cookies are set anywhere today. Once the AutoSAM product reaches general availability, a separate in-product cookie disclosure will cover any account-session cookies at that time.

Consent for non-essential cookies is obtained through the cookie consent banner displayed on your first visit.

Essential cookies

The marketing site sets one essential cookie: your saved cookie-consent preference. This cookie does not require consent under GDPR/ePrivacy regulations because it is strictly necessary to remember your choice.

Analytics cookies (consent required)

We use PostHog analytics cookies to understand page usage and improve the site. Analytics cookies are loaded only after you explicitly accept them via the cookie consent banner. Opting out does not affect your ability to browse the site. You can withdraw consent at any time using the cookie preferences control in the site footer.

Functional cookies

We use Sentry to capture application errors and diagnostics so we can fix reliability issues on the marketing site. We treat Sentry error monitoring as strictly necessary to operate the site reliably, so it is not gated behind the analytics/marketing consent toggles; Sentry does not set a persistent tracking cookie in our current configuration. The Vercel preview token is set only in non-production preview deployments and is never present on the live site.

Advertising cookies

AutoSAM does not use advertising cookies and does not run third-party ad tracking on this site. We do not participate in real-time bidding, retargeting networks, or any form of cross-site behavioral advertising.

Cookie inventory

The following table lists all cookies and similar identifiers set on the marketing site today by AutoSAM and its service providers. It does not include Supabase Auth or other product-account cookies, because the marketing site does not have a login and no such cookies are set here. Sentry error monitoring does not set a persistent cookie in our current configuration and is not listed below.

Managing cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these controls in the “Privacy” or “Security” section of your browser preferences. Below are links to cookie management documentation for major browsers:

• Google Chrome: Clear, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox: Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox
• Apple Safari: Manage cookies and website data in Safari
• Microsoft Edge: Delete cookies in Microsoft Edge

Blocking all cookies will prevent the site from remembering your cookie-consent choice, so you may be re-prompted on every visit. It will not otherwise prevent you from browsing the marketing site.

LocalStorage and SessionStorage

In addition to cookies, AutoSAM's marketing site uses browser localStorage and sessionStorage to store your cookie-consent state, a PostHog analytics identifier (where consented), and, in development or preview environments only, non-production feature flags. These technologies function similarly to cookies (they store data on your device), but they are not sent with HTTP requests and cannot be managed through standard cookie controls. In-product localStorage use (such as UI preferences) will be disclosed separately once the AutoSAM product reaches general availability.

localStorage data persists until explicitly cleared by the application or by you via your browser's developer tools or “Clear browsing data” settings. sessionStorage data is automatically cleared when you close the browser tab.

Cookie consent and your choices

When you first visit AutoSAM, a cookie consent banner is displayed. The banner explains which categories of cookies we use and allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Here is how consent works:

• The consent-preference cookie is always set because it is strictly necessary to remember your choice. It does not require consent.
• Analytics cookies (PostHog) are loaded only after you explicitly accept analytics tracking via the consent banner.
• Functional error monitoring (Sentry) runs regardless of your consent choice, as described above, and does not set a persistent tracking cookie.
• Your consent preferences are saved in the autosam-consent cookie for 365 days so you are not re-prompted on every visit.
• You can revoke or change your consent at any time by clicking the cookie preferences button located in the site footer. Revoking consent will cause non-essential cookies to stop loading on your next page view.

Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control

AutoSAM currently does not respond to the legacy Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal, as there is no universally accepted standard for how DNT should be interpreted by web services. AutoSAM does not run advertising cookies or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, so DNT has no practical effect on our data practices.

AutoSAM does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is no sale or sharing for a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal to opt out of. See our Do Not Sell My Personal Information page for the full detail. If AutoSAM begins any activity that would require honoring GPC as an opt-out signal, we will implement GPC detection and update this policy before that activity begins.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Material updates will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
