Cookie Policy

AnswerMentions uses a minimal set of cookies and similar technologies (such as your browser’s local storage) to run the Service, keep you signed in and understand how the site is used. Analytics need your consent in the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland; elsewhere they run by default and you can opt out in one click. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Types of cookies we use

• Essential. Required for sign-in (Clerk), security, checkout (Stripe) and session integrity. They are always on; the Service won’t work properly without them.
• Preferences. Two first-party cookies, kept for 180 days: am_consent holds your analytics choice (accepted or rejected), and am_region records whether your location needs opt-in consent, so we don’t check again on every page. The region comes from the approximate country our host, Vercel, derives from your IP address; the IP address isn’t stored.
• Analytics. Vercel Web Analytics, Vercel Speed Insights, Cloudflare Web Analytics and FlowGlance. In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland they load only if you accept. Everywhere else they load by default, until you choose Do not track me in the footer, which stores am_consent=rejected and stops them loading. FlowGlance keeps a random visitor ID in this browser’s local storage and records each visit’s pages, clicks, scrolling, copied text, script errors, form entries (never passwords or payment details), and the email address of a signed-in account. We use it only to improve AnswerMentions, never for advertising.

Managing cookies

In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland you can accept or decline analytics in the consent banner. Everywhere, Do not track me in the footer turns analytics off, and the button below forgets your choice so the default for your region applies again. Browser settings can also block or clear cookies; some features, including sign-in and checkout, may not work without essential cookies.
