Cookie Policy & Preferences
Last Updated: August 19, 2026
What Cookies We Set
MetaDock's marketing website uses two categories of cookies. Analytics cookies are set only after you provide opt-in consent via a banner.
| Cookie | Purpose | Set by | Duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
analytics-consent | Remembers your analytics consent choice | metadock.app | 1 year | Essential |
_clck, _clsk, CLID, MUID (and related Clarity cookies) | Microsoft Clarity session replays, heatmaps, click maps | Microsoft Corporation | Up to 1 year | Opt-in (analytics) |
_ga, _ga_* (and related Google Analytics cookies) | Google Analytics aggregate traffic, page and referral reporting | Google LLC | Up to 2 years | Opt-in (analytics) |
| Rewardful referral cookie | Records which affiliate link you arrived through, so a purchase can be credited to that affiliate. Set only if you arrived through an affiliate link | Rewardful Inc. (first-party on metadock.app) | Up to 60 days | Opt-in (analytics) |
affiliate-referral | Marks that this browser is inside an affiliate referral window, so the affiliate script loads on later pages instead of on every page. Holds no identifier: its value is always 1 | metadock.app | 60 days | Opt-in (analytics) |
Essential cookies do not require consent under GDPR / ePrivacy Directive / PECR / Quebec Law 25 because they are strictly necessary for the service you have requested. Analytics and affiliate cookies are never set until you actively click Accept on the consent banner, and the affiliate cookies are additionally never set for a visitor who did not arrive through an affiliate link.
Local Storage (Not Cookies)
Three preferences are stored in your browser's local storage rather than in a cookie. Local storage is never transmitted to our servers and has no expiry date; it stays until you clear site data for metadock.app. We list it here because the ePrivacy Directive, PECR and Quebec Law 25 govern any storage of information on your device, not cookies specifically.
| Key | Purpose | Set by | Retention | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
theme | Remembers your light/dark theme preference | metadock.app (next-themes) | Until you clear site data | Essential |
metadock_palette_mru | Remembers the commands you most recently used in the site search palette, so they rank first | metadock.app | Until you clear site data | Essential |
metadock-market-timezone | Remembers the time zone you selected on the market-hours bar | metadock.app | Until you clear site data | Essential |
None of these identifies you, is shared with anyone, or is used for analytics. They hold a preference you set, so they are strictly necessary for a service you requested and do not require consent. The controls below clear analytics cookies only; to remove these three, clear site data for metadock.app in your browser.
Your Choices
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time. Clicking the button below clears your analytics consent cookie, stops the Microsoft Clarity, Google Analytics and Rewardful trackers from running, deletes the Rewardful referral cookie and the affiliate-referral marker, and deletes the Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*), which are set first-party on metadock.app. This page also deletes Clarity's first-party _clck and _clskcookies. Some Microsoft third-party cookies may remain on clarity.ms; those can be cleared through your browser. Neither tracker is loaded again unless you consent, and the consent banner will reappear on your next page load so you can make a fresh choice.
Analytics and affiliate cookies (Microsoft Clarity, Google Analytics, Rewardful)
Clears the analytics-consent cookie on metadock.app and reloads so the consent banner reappears. Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) are first-party on metadock.app and are deleted here too. This page also deletes Clarity's first-party _clck and _clsk cookies. The Rewardful affiliate referral cookie and the affiliate-referral marker are first-party here too, so both are deleted. Microsoft third-party cookies on clarity.mscannot be deleted from this page; clear those through your browser's "Clear site data" tool for clarity.ms.
