Argus HQ — Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 15, 2026 Version: 1.0
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies the Argus HQ service (argushq.ai) uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It supplements the Privacy Policy.
Modeled on the cookie disclosure patterns required by ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC, GDPR Art. 7, the UK PECR, and the CNIL guidelines, with reference to the publicly available cookie policies of Stripe, Notion, and Vercel.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, web beacons, and pixels. We use the word "cookie" in this policy to cover all of them.
2. Cookies we use
2.1 Strictly necessary (always on)
These cookies are required for the Service to function. We do not need consent for them under ePrivacy / PECR.
| Cookie | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-access-token, sb-refresh-token | Supabase authentication session | Supabase (first-party) | Session / 7 days |
__cf_bm | Bot management, security | Cloudflare | 30 minutes |
2.2 Functional / analytics cookies
None are currently set. We do not run a third-party product-analytics tool today. If we deploy one (for example PostHog), we will update this table, and EU/UK visitors will be asked for consent before any such cookie is set.
2.3 Payment (set during Stripe checkout only)
When you complete a paid checkout, Stripe sets its own cookies on its hosted checkout pages for fraud prevention. We do not control these; see Stripe's Cookie Policy.
| Cookie | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Fraud prevention during checkout | Stripe | 1 year / 30 min |
2.4 What we do not use
- We do not use advertising or cross-site-tracking cookies.
- We do not sell, share, or otherwise disclose cookie data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
3. Consent
Because we currently set only strictly necessary cookies (plus Stripe's own cookies on Stripe-hosted checkout pages), no cookie consent banner is shown today — none is required.
If we ever deploy a non-essential cookie (such as product analytics), before it is set:
- EU, UK, EEA, and Swiss visitors will be shown a consent banner offering Accept all, Reject non-essential, and a link to this policy, with the choice stored in a first-party
argus_consentcookie; - visitors elsewhere will get a documented opt-out;
- this policy will be updated with the new cookie table first.
4. How to control cookies
- In your browser: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See
aboutcookies.orgfor instructions. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break login and other features. - Global Privacy Control (GPC): we treat valid GPC signals as an opt-out of any "sale" or "sharing" under CCPA. We do not engage in either, and we set no non-essential analytics cookies today, so there is nothing further to opt out of.
5. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes are posted at argushq.ai/legal/cookies with a new "Last updated" date.
