Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Sites also commonly use similar browser storage mechanisms (local storage, session storage) for the same kinds of purposes - remembering your preferences and keeping you logged in between sessions. This policy covers both.
How we use cookies and browser storage
Content Flywheel uses cookies and browser storage only for the following purposes. If you see the cookie banner when you visit, it's asking about the one optional category below (Analytics) - everything marked "Yes" is always on and can't be declined without breaking sign-in or checkout.
| Type | Purpose | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication (cookie) | Keep you signed in - set automatically by Clerk, our authentication provider | Yes |
| App preferences (local storage) | Remember things like theme, sidebar state, and in-progress drafts on this device | Yes |
| Analytics (local/session storage) | Anonymous first-party usage data (pages viewed, session length) - no third-party analytics vendor is used, and this only runs if you accept it in the cookie banner | No |

What we do not use
We do not use third-party advertising cookies, tracking pixels for ad networks, or any cookies that build profiles for targeted advertising. We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Third-party services
Some features of Content Flywheel rely on third-party services that may set their own cookies:
- Clerk - authentication and user session management, sets a cookie on this site
- Stripe - payment processing. Checkout happens on Stripe's own site (you're redirected there), so Stripe does not set cookies on contentflywheel.co.uk itself
- YouTube - course lesson videos are embedded from YouTube, which may set its own cookies when a lesson page loads
Each service has its own privacy and cookie policy. We encourage you to review them.
Controlling cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies (authentication, session) will prevent you from staying signed in. Disabling preference cookies may cause your settings to reset on each visit.
