No tracking. Just sessions.
We use a handful of strictly-necessary cookies to keep you signed in and your forms secure. No analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, no third-party trackers.

1. What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when you visit a website. They're used for everything from "remember my language" to "track me across 30 sites for ad targeting". We only use the boring, strictly-necessary kind.
2. What we use
Session cookie
- Name:
cerberops_session - Purpose: keeps you signed in while you use the dashboard
- Lifetime: 2 hours of inactivity, or "remember me" checkbox extends it to 30 days
- HTTP-only: yes (JavaScript can't read it)
- Secure: yes (only sent over HTTPS)
- SameSite:
Lax
CSRF cookie
- Name:
XSRF-TOKEN - Purpose: protects forms from cross-site request forgery attacks
- Lifetime: same as session
Impersonation cookie (super-admin only)
- Name:
impersonator_id(stored in session, not a separate cookie) - Purpose: lets a Cerberops super-admin investigate a customer issue while preserving the ability to return to the original session in one click
- Lifetime: only while impersonation is active
All these cookies are strictly necessary and exempt from cookie-consent requirements under ePrivacy & GDPR. We do not show a cookie banner because there's nothing optional to consent to.
3. What we don't use
- ❌ Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment, Amplitude, or any analytics tracker
- ❌ Advertising cookies (Google Ads, Meta Pixel, etc.)
- ❌ Heatmap / session replay tools (Hotjar, FullStory)
- ❌ Third-party A/B testing cookies
- ❌ Social media tracking pixels
- ❌ Anything that could profile you across sites
If we ever add an analytics tool, it will be self-hosted (Plausible or PostHog OSS), respect Do-Not-Track, and either work without cookies entirely or be opt-in.
4. Manage cookies
Since we only use strictly-necessary cookies, the only ways to opt out are:
- Sign out — clears the session cookie
- Browser settings — delete cookies for cerberops.io from your browser's privacy settings
- Don't use Cerberops — the application requires the session cookie to function
