KwikNest uses a small number of cookies and browser-storage entries to keep you signed in, remember interface preferences, and protect the platform from abuse. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or share storefront-shopper data with advertising networks.
What we set
Strictly necessary (no consent required)
These are required for the platform to function. They are exempt from the EU ePrivacy Directive consent requirement.
- Clerk session cookies (
__session,__client): authenticate you across pages. Set by your Clerk authentication provider. Session-only unless you choose "remember me". - kwiknest-shell-collapsed (cookie): remembers back-office sidebar state. 1 year.
- kwiknest-cart:[orgSlug] (localStorage): your cart on a given storefront. Until you clear your browser data.
- kwiknest-storefront-email (localStorage): convenience-only email for order-history lookup; never used for marketing.
- account-link tokens (HMAC-signed URL parameters, not cookies): magic-link order access. Single-use, 30-minute TTL.
Functional (consent required when applicable)
- kwiknest-cookie-consent (localStorage): remembers your choices on the consent banner.
- theme preference (localStorage): light / dark / system.
Analytics (consent required, off by default)
When the merchant has enabled first-party analytics and you have accepted analytics in the cookie banner, we record:
- page views and the path of the page
- timing of the page-load and a coarse device class
- a randomly generated session ID stored in localStorage
We do not record IP-derived precise location, do not enrich with third-party trackers, and do not retain analytics data beyond 13 months.
Your choices
Use the "Cookie preferences" link in the storefront footer to change consent at any time. You can also clear cookies and storage in your browser settings. Clearing strictly-necessary cookies will sign you out and empty your cart.
