What the application adds
The inspected EarlyStrata application does not add an advertising pixel, a third-party audience measurement SDK or tracking through browser localStorage. Its social icons are links and user-initiated sharing controls. Loading the page does not load a social embed.
An unused sidebar preference cookie was removed from the application. This version no longer creates sidebar_state. If an older version stored it, it expires after its original seven-day lifetime or can be removed through your browser’s site-data settings. No new browser storage is used merely to remember a cookies-page visit.
Optional account label on this device
If you choose Remember my name and email on this device in My Account, EarlyStrata saves only that name, email and expiry time in this browser under earlystrata.account-label.v1. This is off by default. It is a local display aid, not a password, session token or authentication method. It does not grant access or keep you signed in. The label remains after sign-out. It expires after 30 days and is removed on the next visit after expiry. Uncheck the option, use Forget this account on this device, or clear browser site data to remove it earlier. A different verified account clears the previous label.
Sign-in and hosting technologies
Clerk uses the __session cookie for a short-lived signed account session and other authentication or security storage. The site uses es_customer_mode to keep the customer sign-in journey separate from administrative access. This cookie grants no access and lasts for the browser session. earlystrata.auth-refresh in session storage bounds account-refresh attempts. Passwords are never saved in the optional account label. Actual provider cookies and lifetimes still need a complete browser inventory before launch.
ChatGPT Sites sign-in and hosting can use session or security technologies managed by the platform. Their exact names, providers, purposes and lifetimes were not verified in a production browser during this review. They must be inventoried before public access. The absence of an application analytics SDK does not prove that all platform cookies are exempt from consent.
A genuinely necessary sign-in or security technology can qualify for the applicable exemption. Any future advertising, optional measurement or nonessential tracking must remain blocked until a lawful choice is collected. Accepting and refusing must be equally easy, and a choice must remain reversible. This site does not present a nonfunctional accept-all banner as proof of compliance.
Your controls and external services
Use browser site-data settings to inspect or remove stored cookies, and the platform’s supported sign-out controls to end a session. Blocking required session technologies may prevent account access. Database-held bookmarks and reading activity are not browser cookies and are managed through your account or a privacy request.
Opening an external source, social network or future Stripe checkout takes you to that service. Its own privacy and cookies rules then apply. Audio voice processing also depends on the selected browser service. EarlyStrata does not claim control over those independent services.
