Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 6, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Plugin Library uses cookies and similar technologies. For more information about how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and improve your experience.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags (also known as web beacons or tracking pixels).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Service to function properly. They enable core features like user authentication, session management, and security. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the Service would not work without them.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
__clerk_db_jwt | Authentication session token | Session |
__client_uat | User authentication timestamp | 1 year |
__session | Session identifier | Session |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare security verification | 30 minutes |
_cf_bm | Cloudflare bot management and security | 30 minutes |
onboarding_complete | Remembers that you have finished onboarding, so we route you to the right page | 1 year |
2.2 Remembering Where You Came From
When you first arrive we record how you found us, and if you arrived from a plugin page we remember which plugin, so that after you sign up we can add it for you and so we know which pages bring people here. These are first-party cookies we set ourselves. They are not sent to anyone else, they hold no personal information, and the Service works without them — you can clear or block them (see Section 3) and nothing will break.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
pl_signup_source | Remembers how you first reached the site, so we can tell which pages bring people here | 30 days |
signup_plugin | Remembers the plugin you were looking at when you signed up, so we can add it to your library once you finish — or to your wishlist, if you asked us to tell you when it goes on sale | 30 days |
2.3 Functional Preferences (Local Storage)
We remember how you have set the Service up so it looks the way you left it: your grid/list view, how the library is grouped, and whether the sidebar sections are collapsed. All of it is stored in your browser's local storage (under the key plugin-library-preferences), not in cookies, and none of it is ever sent to us or any third party. You can clear it at any time (see Section 4).
2.4 Analytics
We use no advertising cookies and never track you across other sites. Aggregate traffic figures come from the request logs Cloudflare already keeps as it serves the site — a count of requests, countries and response codes, produced from serving traffic rather than from anything stored in your browser. No cookie is set for it and it is not tied to you.
Separately, if you choose "Allow" on the banner we show you once you are signed in, PostHog records how you use the Service — the pages you open, the buttons you press, and a replay of your session — so we can improve it. This is the only cookie category you have to opt in to, and it loads nothing at all until you do. PostHog stores an identifier for your browser in a cookie and in local storage under keys beginning with ph_; your own choice is stored under plugin-library-analytics-consent. Everything you type is masked in session replays. To withdraw consent, clear this site's data (see Section 4) — we will ask you again next time you are signed in. See PostHog's Privacy Policy.
2.5 Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use. These services have their own privacy policies:
- Clerk: Authentication cookies for login functionality. See Clerk's Privacy Policy.
- Stripe: Payment security and fraud prevention. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
- PostHog: Product analytics and session replay, only after you allow it. See PostHog's Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare: Security and performance optimization. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
3. Managing Cookies
3.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- See what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete all or specific cookies
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
- Set preferences for certain websites
Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using the Service.
Here are links to cookie settings for common browsers:
3.2 Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to these signals. We currently do not respond to Do Not Track signals, but we limit our tracking as described in this policy.
4. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use your browser's local storage to remember how you have set the Service up, under the key plugin-library-preferences: view mode, grouping and sidebar collapse state. This data stays on your device and is not sent to us or any third party.
You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all site data.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated policy on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
