This Cookie Policy explains how CloseIntel, LLC ("we," "our," or "us"), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit and use our platform. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. This Cookie Policy applies identically on the apex closeintel.ai site and on every cobranded subdomain or custom domain operated through the Platform; see Privacy Policy § 10 for the full subdomain disclosure.
On your first visit to this site we show a cookie preferences banner with three options: Accept all, Reject all, or Customize. The Customize panel lets you toggle each non-essential category independently.
We group cookies into three categories:
Your decision is stored in a signed cookie named cic_v1, mirrored in your browser's local storage under the same name, and persists for 12 months on the site where you made it. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, the Analytics and Marketing toggles in the Customize panel start in the off position; you can still opt in.
To change a decision, clear this site's cookies and site data in your browser settings (both the cic_v1 cookie and the local-storage mirror) — the banner will return on the next visit.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website operator. Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
CloseIntel uses strictly necessary (essential) cookies plus a small preference cookie that stores your choice from the consent banner. The only analytics tool is Vercel Web Analytics, which is cookieless and loads only after you accept analytics in the consent banner described in §2 above. We run no marketing scripts today; should we add any, they will be gated the same way.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Authentication session cookie. Keeps you signed in. | Session / 1 year |
| sb-*-auth-token-code-verifier | PKCE code verifier for secure authentication flows. | Session |
| ci_identity | Cross-workspace recognition cookie. Lets the workspace picker remember which workspaces you've recently signed into. Carries no access. Cleared when you choose "Sign out of all workspaces". | 90 days (rolling) |
| cic_v1 | Stores your cookie preferences (Necessary / Analytics / Marketing). Signed so it can't be tampered with from the browser. A local-storage entry of the same name mirrors the decision so it can be applied without a server round-trip. | 12 months |
| ci_first_touch | Session-storage entry (not a cookie) that remembers the campaign parameters, the referring site's domain, and the landing page of your first page view, so a demo or contact request you submit later is attributed to where you actually came from. First party only; never sent to a third party. | Browser session |
The cookies listed above are classified as "strictly necessary" under data protection laws including the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR. They are essential for the platform to function correctly and enable core features such as user authentication and session management. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they are exempt from consent requirements and cannot be disabled. Without them, the platform cannot operate.
When you interact with Stripe during the checkout or subscription management process, Stripe may set its own cookies on your device for fraud prevention and payment processing purposes. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. We do not control third-party cookies set by Stripe. No other third-party cookies are used on our platform.

Please note that if you block or delete the essential cookies listed above, you will not be able to log in to or use the CloseIntel platform.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
