Cookie policy

Who this covers

Studio and marketing cookies are set on adfluence.ai. Store visit cookies are set on adfl.to. The two hosts do not share login cookies — a session on the studio cannot be read from a store page.

What we set

• Session cookies on adfluence.ai — so you stay signed in to Studio. These are essential. Blocking them means you cannot use the account.
• First-party click cookies on adfl.to —adfl_cid, adfl_src, and adfl_cmp. They last 90 days. They exist so a creator can see which post sent a visit or a sale, not so we can sell a profile of the buyer. They are HttpOnly and are not a login.
• First-party visit cookies on adfl.to — adfl_vid and adfl_sid. The first is a random id that lasts one year, so a creator can tell ten visits from one person apart from ten people. The second lasts 30 minutes from the last page seen and marks one visit. Neither holds a name or an email, and both are HttpOnly. They are read only by Adfluence.
• Store owner cookie on adfl.to — adfl_own. Set when a creator opens their own store from Studio, so their own visits stay out of their numbers. It lists store ids only, is signed and HttpOnly, and lasts one year.
• Price list cookie on adfluence.ai — adfl_currency. It remembers whether the marketing site showed rupees or dollars. India is rupees. Everywhere else is dollars. It is not a login and it does not set what Studio charges you — that follows the country on your payment account. It lasts one year. Blocking it means prices default from your approximate location, then USD.
• Partner cookie on adfluence.ai — adfl_via. It lasts 90 days. It records the first Partner handle that sent you to start a store, so we can pay them a share of our take. It is HttpOnly and is not a login. Store pages put the same handle on /start?via= because adfl.to cookies do not travel to adfluence.ai.
• Google Analytics — _ga and _ga_WKTPWV48QZ, set by Google on adfluence.ai only. They measure which pages of our site and Studio are visited. Stores on adfl.to and on a creator's own domain do not load Google Analytics. They last up to two years. They are not a login, they are not used to advertise or retarget, and they do not load on a payment page or in the admin console. Blocking them does not stop a sign-in or a checkout.
• PostHog in Studio — a ph_ cookie and browser storage, set on adfluence.ai for signed-in creators only. It shows us which Studio screens are used and where people get stuck, and may record a Studio session with every typed field masked. The billing payment screen is never recorded. Stores and buyers never load it.
• Stripe checkout cookies — set by Stripe on their form because card details are entered there. We do not control those cookies. Their use is described in Stripe's own notices.

What we do not set

No advertising cookies. No retargeting pixels. Google Analytics does not load while someone is paying.

Your choices

You can block cookies in the browser. Sign-in and Studio will not work without the session cookie. Checkout will not work if the provider cannot set what it needs on its form. The click cookies on adfl.to are optional for using a store; without them, attribution in Studio is thinner, and the store still loads.

How we use the data those cookies point to is in the privacy policy. Questions: support@adfluence.ai.
