Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 1, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how BayKit, Inc. ("BayKit," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit baykit.ai or use the BayKit platform. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve performance, and to provide analytics information to site operators. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (retained on your device until they expire or you delete them).
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these collectively as "cookies."
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, and security. You cannot opt out of essential cookies; without them, the Service will not work correctly.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits, understand how users navigate the Service, and identify which features are most used. The information is aggregated and anonymous. We use PostHog as our analytics provider. Disabling analytics cookies does not affect your ability to use the Service.
Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to track visitors across websites and display relevant advertising. They may be set by our advertising partners and are optional. You can withdraw consent at any time.
3. Specific Cookies We Use
The table below lists the specific cookies currently set by the BayKit platform.
| Cookie Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| baykit_session | Essential | Maintains your authenticated session after login. Contains a signed, encrypted session identifier — no personal data is stored in the cookie itself. | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
| ph_posthog | Analytics | Set by PostHog to track anonymous usage events, page views, and feature interactions. Helps us understand how the product is used and where to focus improvements. | 1 year |
| baykit_prefs | Essential | Stores non-sensitive UI preferences such as colour scheme (light/dark mode) and sidebar state so that your preferred settings persist across sessions. | 1 year |
| _baykit_csrf | Essential | Cross-site request forgery protection token. Ensures that form submissions and API mutations originate from legitimate BayKit pages. | Session |
4. How to Control Cookies
You have several options for controlling cookies. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through the browser's settings or preferences menu. Instructions vary by browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Opt Out of Analytics
To opt out of PostHog analytics, you can install a browser extension that honours the Do Not Track header, or contact us at privacy@baykit.ai to be excluded from analytics data collection.
Do Not Track
BayKit respects the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal. When DNT is enabled in your browser, we disable non-essential tracking cookies automatically.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Service are set by third-party providers (PostHog for analytics, Stripe for payment flows). These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies that govern their use of your data. We encourage you to review those policies directly on the providers' websites.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy whenever you visit the Service to stay informed about how we use cookies.
