Cookie Policy
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored in your browser by the website. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.
2. What cookies do we use?
1. Essential Cookies & Storage
These are required for the service to work and cannot be disabled. The “Type” column shows whether an item is a real HTTP cookie or data stored in your browser’s localStorage — ePrivacy rules cover both, so we list both. localStorage has no automatic expiry: it stays until you sign out or clear it in your browser.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cadensa-backend-pod | HTTP cookie | Load balancing: routes your requests to the same server instance (Secure, HttpOnly) | 48 hours |
NEXT_LOCALE | HTTP cookie | Remembers the language you chose on the marketing site (cadensa.io) — set by the server during language routing | Session (until you close the browser) |
cadensa_cookie_consent | localStorage | Stores your cookie preferences | Until cleared |
cadensa_token | localStorage | User authentication and session management | Until the token expires (7 days) or you sign out |
cadensa_current_unit | localStorage | Currently selected organizational unit | Until you sign out |
cadensa_current_workspace | localStorage | Currently selected workspace | Until you sign out |
cadensa_current_workspace_data | localStorage | Workspace cache data | Until you sign out |
cadensa_language | localStorage | Application language preference | Until cleared |
2. Functional Storage
These enable enhanced functionality and personalization, and are only stored after you consent. All of them live in your browser’s localStorage — they are not HTTP cookies and are not shared with third parties. If you do not consent, core services keep working.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cadensa_user_locale | localStorage | Regional settings (date/time format, number format) | Until cleared |
cadensa_user_timezone | localStorage | Timezone preference for accurate time tracking | Until cleared |
cadensa_localization_preferences | localStorage | Complete localization settings | Until cleared |
cadensa_sidebar_collapsed | localStorage | Sidebar visibility state | Until cleared |
cadensa-theme, themeMode | localStorage | Light/dark theme preference | Until cleared |
cadensa-timer-state, timerPausedEntryId | localStorage | Keeps a running timer’s state across page reloads | Until the timer is stopped |
cadensa_favorite_workspaces, cadensa_recent_workspaces | localStorage | Favorite and recently used workspaces | Until cleared |
| Formbricks widget storage | localStorage | The feedback and support survey widget (Formbricks GmbH, Germany — app.formbricks.com) remembers which surveys you have already seen, so it does not show them again | Until cleared |
3. Analytics Cookies
Our website analytics (Plausible Analytics, Estonia, EU) is entirely cookie-free: it does not set any cookies and collects no personal data or unique identifiers. As a result, no consent-requiring cookie belongs to this category.
✅ We currently do not use analytics cookies
Visitor statistics are measured using Plausible Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not individually identify visitors — under GDPR this does not constitute personal data processing and requires no consent.
4. Marketing Cookies
These cookies may be set by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites.
🚫 We currently do not use marketing cookies
We respect your privacy and do not track you across other websites for advertising purposes.
3. How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Security: Protecting your login status and preventing unauthorized access.
- Functionality: Enabling core website features such as workspace switching.
- Personalization: Remembering your preferences (language, timezone, localization).
- Performance: Improving website performance and user experience based on anonymized data.
4. How can I control cookies?
We give you full control over cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
4.1 Cookie Preferences & Opt-Out
You can manage cookie preferences by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer. You may:
- Accept all
- Reject non-essential items
- Customize per category
✅ Default: the functional and marketing categories are OFF. Until you actively consent, only strictly necessary items are stored in your browser — nothing is pre-ticked, and dismissing the banner does not count as consent (ePrivacy Art. 5(3), Case C-673/17 Planet49).
🔒 Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the platform to function. Disabling functional cookies will not affect core features but may reduce personalization (e.g., language, timezone preferences).
7.1.1. From within the Cadensa interface
You can modify cookie settings within the website:
- Click the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer
- Select which categories you want to enable
- Save your preferences
2. Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to manage cookies:
Note: Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
5. Cookie Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies. We will notify you of any significant changes through our website and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
We track the cookie policy version (the current one is shown at the top of this page). When the policy changes, we will ask for your consent again in accordance with GDPR requirements.
