How RobThumbnail uses cookies and similar technologies
2026/09/21
This Cookie Policy explains how RobThumbnail ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies (together, "cookies") on robthumbnail.com, and how you can control them. It complements our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar browser storage technologies such as localStorage, which are covered by this policy.
We use cookies for three purposes:
These cookies are essential for the website to function — keeping you signed in, remembering your preferences, and protecting against fraud. They cannot be switched off.
We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand, in anonymous and aggregate form, how the site is used: which pages are visited, how features are used, and where visitors encounter problems. We do not use analytics to identify individual users, and we do not run advertising or cross-site tracking.
We do not set advertising or targeting cookies. Our site contains no ad networks and no cross-site advertising trackers.
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
better-auth.session_token | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in to your account | Session, up to 7 days |
better-auth.session_data | Strictly necessary | Short-lived cache of your session to speed up page loads | About 1 hour |
NEXT_LOCALE | Strictly necessary | Remembers your language preference | Up to 6 months |
sidebar_state | Functional | Remembers whether your dashboard sidebar is open or collapsed | 7 days |
_ga | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Distinguishes unique visitors | Up to 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Persists session state for Google Analytics | Up to 2 years |
_clck | Analytics (Microsoft Clarity) | Assigns an anonymous Clarity user ID | About 1 year |
_clsk | Analytics (Microsoft Clarity) | Links page views within a Clarity session | About 1 day |
Third-party analytics services may also use localStorage entries for similar purposes. If you are signed out or browse privately, fewer of these cookies will be set.
Google Analytics helps us count visits, understand traffic sources, and measure feature usage. It may collect device, browser, and approximate location information. Data collected by Google Analytics is processed under Google's own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the official browser add-on.
Clarity provides anonymized heatmaps and session recordings that show us how pages are used and where visitors get stuck. Clarity masks the content you type, and its data cannot reasonably be used to identify you. You can opt out by blocking clarity.ms in your browser.
Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can:
Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in and from using signed-in features such as the chat studio. Blocking analytics cookies will not affect site functionality — the site will continue to work normally.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we add or remove services. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new date.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, contact us at support@robthumbnail.com or through the contact form.
