Cookie Policy

Effective Date: March 24, 2026 · Last Updated: March 24, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site. We also use similar technologies like localStorage and sessionStorage (browser-based storage) to maintain state during your session. This policy covers all of these technologies.

2. What Cookies We Use

Notary Advisor uses a minimal set of cookies. Here is a complete list:

2.1 Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are necessary for the platform to function. They cannot be disabled.

2.2 Session Storage (Not Cookies — Cleared on Tab Close)

We use browser sessionStorage to carry information between onboarding steps. This data is never sent to third parties and is automatically cleared when you close the browser tab.

na_utm_source, na_utm_medium, na_utm_campaign, na_utm_content: UTM attribution parameters from the URL you used to find us
na_ref: Referral code if you were referred by someone
na_experience_level: Your selected persona from onboarding Step 2, carried to Step 3
na_signup_start: Timestamp of when you started the signup flow, used for funnel analytics

All sessionStorage entries are cleared when you close the browser tab. They are not accessible after your session ends.

2.3 Analytics Cookies (PostHog)

We use PostHog for product analytics to understand how users interact with our platform.

Data sent to PostHog: Page URLs, click events, feature interactions. We do NOT send question text or personal data to PostHog.

2.4 Cookies We Do NOT Use

We want to be clear about what we do not do:

No advertising cookies — we do not run ads and do not use ad tracking pixels
No Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, or any ad network cookies
No third-party marketing cookies
No fingerprinting or cross-site tracking
No cookies that track you on other websites

3. Stripe Payment Cookies

When you proceed to checkout, Stripe sets cookies on their own domain (stripe.com) to process your payment securely and prevent fraud. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. We do not control these cookies.

4. Your Cookie Choices

4.1 Essential Cookies

Essential cookies cannot be disabled — they are required for the platform to work. If you disable them through your browser settings, you will not be able to log in to Notary Advisor.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

You can opt out of PostHog analytics by:

Emailing us at legal@notary-advisor.com with the subject "Analytics Opt-Out" — we will flag your account
Using a browser extension that blocks analytics (e.g., uBlock Origin)

4.3 Browser Controls

You can control cookies through your browser settings:

Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
