Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Cropli ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at cropli.io (the "Service"). This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

Essential cookies are set as you use the Service. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them in the cookie banner, and you can change that choice at any time (see section 9).

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies:

  • Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie or until you delete them

Cookies can also be "first-party" or "third-party" cookies:

  • First-Party Cookies: Set by Cropli directly
  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by external services we use (e.g., analytics providers)

4.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Service, allowing us to improve performance and user experience.

Examples:

  • Usage Analytics (cropli_vid): A random identifier for your browser, so we can see which pages and dashboard views you use, in what order and for how long, and the actions you take. If you have a Cropli account or give us your email, your visits are linked to it.

You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used:

7.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

  • Block all cookies

  • Delete cookies when you close your browser

Here's how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked.

Currently, there is no industry consensus on how to respond to DNT signals. At this time, our Service does not respond to DNT browser signals. We will update this policy if we adopt a DNT standard in the future.

9. Cookie Consent for EU Users

We ask every visitor, wherever they are, before placing analytics cookies, in line with the EU ePrivacy Directive, the GDPR and the UK's PECR. The banner offers Accept and Reject with equal weight.

  • Accept: we set the analytics cookies described in section 4.3 and record the pages you visit, how long you spend on them and the actions you take, linked to your Cropli account or the email you give us. We use this to improve Cropli and to follow up with people who asked to hear from us. We never sell it.
  • Reject, or no answer yet: no analytics cookies. We record only which pages are viewed in that browser tab, with a temporary identifier that ends with the tab, no IP address, and no link to your account.

We ask again after six months. You can withdraw or give your consent at any time with (also at the foot of every page), or by contacting us at support@cropli.io.
