Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 18, 2026
1. Cookies and local storage
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Local storage is similar browser storage that remains on your device but is not automatically sent with every request. CronEngine uses both as described below.
2. Essential storage
This storage is needed to provide the service, keep it secure, or remember the privacy choice you requested. It is not used for analytics or advertising.
| Name and type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ce_session cookie | Maintains your session, including authentication and security protections. | Browser session |
| remember_token cookie | Keeps you signed in when you select “Remember me.” | The configured “Remember me” period (30 days by default) |
| ce_cookie_consent_v2 local storage | Records whether you allowed analytics and advertising measurement. | Up to 180 days, then we ask again |
3. Optional analytics
When you allow analytics, CronEngine loads Google Analytics. Google Analytics may set cookies including _ga and _ga_<container-id> to distinguish visitors and sessions and measure how the site is used. Google documents a default expiry of up to two years for these cookies.
If you reject analytics, the Google Analytics tag is not loaded and no analytics request is sent by CronEngine.
4. Optional advertising measurement
When you allow advertising measurement, CronEngine loads Google Ads to measure sign-up and purchase conversions. Google may use advertising identifiers and cookies such as those beginning with _gcl_. These help attribute a conversion to an advertisement.
If you reject advertising measurement, the Google Ads tag is not loaded and CronEngine does not send conversion events to Google Ads. See Google's Privacy Policy for more information.
5. Stripe checkout and signup protection
When you choose to purchase a plan, CronEngine redirects you to checkout hosted by Stripe. Stripe may store its own cookies on its domain for fraud prevention, security, payment processing, and session continuity. Those cookies are controlled by Stripe and are described in Stripe's Privacy Policy. Stripe is not loaded on ordinary CronEngine pages.
The signup page loads Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that a new account is created by a person and not an automated script. Cloudflare may use its own storage for that check, controlled by Cloudflare and described in its Turnstile Privacy Addendum. It is strictly needed to keep signup secure, is never used for analytics or advertising, and is not loaded on other CronEngine pages.
6. Manage or withdraw consent
Optional tags are blocked by default. The first time you visit, you can accept all optional purposes, reject them, or customize them separately. Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time to change or withdraw your consent. Withdrawing a purpose stops its tag and removes matching first-party cookies that are accessible to CronEngine.
You can also delete cookies and local storage through your browser. Blocking essential cookies may prevent authentication or other requested features from working correctly.
7. Status pages published with CronEngine
Status pages that CronEngine customers publish for their own visitors, including those on a customer’s own domain, set no cookies and use no local storage for visitors. They load no analytics or advertising tags and show no cookie banner. If you are signed in to CronEngine and open a page you own on a CronEngine address, your existing session cookie is used so you can edit it.
