Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 7, 2026
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 work, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to site owners. This Cookie Policy explains which cookies Slate and Pixel LLC d/b/a GoodPostal ("GoodPostal," "we," "us") uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.
2. Cookies We Use
GoodPostal uses a minimal number of cookies, focused on essential functionality. We do not use advertising cookies or sell cookie data to third parties.
3. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function and cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| goodpostal_session | Identifies your authenticated session. Required for login, navigation, and maintaining your session state. | 2 hours |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. This cookie is set by Laravel and is required for all form submissions. | 2 hours |
| remember_web_* | Keeps you logged in between browser sessions if you select "Remember Me" at login. Only set when you opt in. | 5 years |
4. Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| appearance | Stores your theme preference (light, dark, or system). Used to render the correct theme on page load. | 1 year |
5. Third-Party Cookies
5.1 Stripe
When you interact with billing or payment features, Stripe may set cookies to process payments securely, prevent fraud, and comply with PCI DSS requirements. These cookies are set directly by Stripe and are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. GoodPostal does not control Stripe's cookies.
5.2 No Advertising Cookies
GoodPostal does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking pixels, or any third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) on the Service. We do not track you across other websites.
6. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
6.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Privacy" or "Security" section of your browser preferences. You can:
- View which cookies are stored on your device
- Delete specific cookies or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all third-party cookies
- Set your browser to notify you when cookies are being set
6.2 Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you disable essential cookies, you will not be able to log in to GoodPostal or use the Service. The session and CSRF cookies are required for the application to function. Disabling functional cookies (such as the theme preference) will not prevent you from using the Service but may affect your experience.
7. Cookie Consent
Because GoodPostal uses only essential and functional cookies (no analytics or advertising cookies), cookie consent is handled as follows:
- Essential cookies do not require consent under most privacy regulations (including GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive) because they are strictly necessary for the Service to function.
- Functional cookies (theme preference) are set based on your explicit action (choosing a theme), which constitutes consent.
- Third-party cookies (Stripe) are set only when you interact with payment features and are governed by Stripe's own consent mechanisms.
8. Changes to This Policy
If we introduce new categories of cookies (such as analytics), we will update this Cookie Policy, implement appropriate consent mechanisms, and notify you of the changes.
