Cookie Notice
Effective date: May 13, 2026 · Custodia, LLC
This Cookie Notice explains the cookies and similar technologies the BidFedCMMC platform uses. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What we use
We use only strictly-necessary, first-party cookies and similar local-storage entries. We do not set third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, social-media trackers, or behavioral-profiling identifiers.
| Name / pattern | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
__session | Authentication session cookie set by Clerk, our identity provider. Required to sign in. | Session |
__client_uat / __clerk_* | Clerk session-state cookies (user authentication, CSRF protection). | Up to 1 year |
__Host-next-action / __next-router-state | Next.js framework cookies for routing and server-action validation. | Session |
localStorage: custodia.publicCharlie.v1 | Stores the in-page transcript of the public Charlie helper so your conversation persists on refresh. Local to your browser only. | Until cleared |
Analytics
We use minimal first-party server-side telemetry (page views, error events) to run the Service reliably. We do not load third-party analytics scripts that set persistent cross-site identifiers.
Your choices
Because we only use cookies that are strictly necessary to deliver the Service, applicable U.S. state privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, UCPA, TDPSA, OCPA) do not require a separate consent banner. Disabling essential cookies in your browser will prevent the Service from functioning (you will not be able to sign in).
