1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser, typically to keep you signed in or remember preferences. Similar technologies include local storage, which stores data in your browser without sending it to a server on every request.
2. Cookies on tex.ink (this website)
The landing site is static and loads no analytics, no advertising scripts and no third-party resources. It sets no cookies.
3. Cookies on app.tex.ink (the editor)
The editor uses only strictly necessary cookies, set by our identity provider (Clerk) to authenticate you:
| Purpose | Examples | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping you signed in (session) | __session | Days — refreshed while you use the app |
| Remembering that you signed in on this device | __client_uat | Up to one year |
| Security (preventing request forgery) | CSRF token | Session |
The editor also uses your browser’s local storage for preferences such as theme and editor layout. That data stays on your device.
4. What we do not use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No cross-site tracking or social media pixels.
- No third-party analytics cookies.
Because every cookie we set is strictly necessary to provide the service you asked for, no cookie consent banner is required.
5. Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking the cookies above will prevent you from staying signed in to the editor; the landing site works without any cookies.
6. Changes and contact
If we ever introduce new categories of cookies, we will update this page and ask for consent where the law requires it. Questions: support@tex.ink. See also our privacy policy and terms of use.
