Cookie Policy
How Plot uses cookies and similar browser storage, and the choices available to you.
What browser storage does
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser. Session storage and local storage can also remember information on your device. This policy covers beta.builtwithplot.com. Customer websites and the separate builtwithplot.com marketing website may use different technologies and notices.
Core website storage
Plot uses session and security storage to maintain account access, remember an in-progress setup and protect form requests. Disabling this storage may prevent login or interrupt the wizard.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
laravel_session | Maintains your session and website setup progress. | Configured for 120 minutes, refreshed during use. |
XSRF-TOKEN | Helps protect requests against cross-site request forgery. | Follows the configured session lifetime. |
plot:skip-marketing-prelude | Session storage that remembers when the introductory animation has been skipped. | For the browser tab’s session. |
Consent preferences are stored in plot:cookie-consent:v1 local storage and the plot_cookie_consent cookie for up to 180 days. They record your choices and choice date so we can respect them; rejecting optional tracking does not prevent this preference storage.
Referral links
If you have allowed advertising storage and arrive through a link containing a referral code (refcd), Plot stores the first code and visit time in an encrypted plot_referral cookie for up to 30 days. Return visits do not extend that period. If you create an account during that time, we save the referral against your signup so Plot administrators can identify the referring partner. The cookie is cleared when you sign up or sign in; the signup attribution remains part of the account record.
Optional analytics and advertising
Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager can measure visits and use of the beta website. Google Ads can measure advertising and support personalised advertising. These optional Google tags do not load before you permit the relevant use. Analytics and advertising are separate choices, initially off. The shared Tag Manager container loads only when both choices are enabled.
Google tags may use identifiers such as _ga, _gid and _gcl_*. Their presence and duration depend on the enabled tag settings. The 180-day preference period is not a statement that all information already received by Google is deleted after 180 days. See Google’s cookie information for its technologies.
Features you request
Support chat connects to Intercom when you open chat. Walkthrough embeds connect to the provider shown on their load button when you choose to load them. These services receive technical information needed to deliver the feature and may use their own storage. Payment services may also use security and payment storage when you use checkout. Closing a feature does not delete information the provider has already received.
Managing your choices
Use Cookie settings on the beta website to accept, reject or change optional analytics and advertising choices at any time. Rejecting does not prevent using Plot. Withdrawing a choice reloads the page to stop previously loaded tracking code and removes recognised first-party tracking cookies where accessible. It does not erase information already sent or cookies on another provider’s domain. Your browser also lets you inspect, block and delete cookies and site data. Clearing them can sign you out or remove saved progress. Where a service offers privacy settings, you can also use those controls. Blocking a cookie does not automatically remove information already received by a provider.
