Cookie Policy
Effective date: July 21, 2026
This Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies lockt International uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.
lockt currently uses only strictly-necessary cookies required to keep you signed in and to secure your account — we do not currently use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If that changes, we will update this Policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent first.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies primarily to operate core functionality of the Service — most importantly, to keep you securely signed in as you move between pages of your dashboard. Some of the information below (such as local storage used to remember display preferences) is not technically a cookie but is covered by this Policy because it serves a similar purpose.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the Service to function — principally to authenticate your session — and cannot be switched off in our systems without breaking sign-in. They do not track you across other websites.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token (or __Secure- prefixed equivalent over HTTPS) | Keeps you signed in and identifies your account to the Service. | Session / up to 30 days, per your sign-in choice |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Protects sign-in and account forms against cross-site request forgery. | Session |
| next-auth.callback-url | Returns you to the right page after signing in. | Session |
3.2 Functional / preference storage
We may use local storage in your browser to remember non-essential preferences, such as a collapsed sidebar or a previously selected filter, purely to make your next visit more convenient. This data stays on your device and is not used to track you across other websites.
3.3 Analytics cookies
We do not currently deploy a third-party analytics or product-analytics tool that sets its own cookies. If we introduce one in the future (for example, to understand aggregate feature usage), we will update this Policy and, where analytics cookies are not strictly necessary under applicable law, request your consent via an on-site preference banner before they are set.
3.4 Advertising / marketing cookies
We do not currently use advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell or share cookie data with ad-tech companies. Should this change, we will update this Policy accordingly and obtain any consent required by law before doing so.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Where the Service embeds or links to third-party content or services (for example, a payment provider's hosted checkout, or a mapping widget), that third party may set its own cookies in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policy, which we encourage you to review. We do not control these third-party cookies.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Because we currently rely only on strictly necessary cookies, there is no cookie-consent banner on the Service today — these cookies do not require consent under most cookie-law frameworks, but you can still control or delete them through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies, and to alert you when a new cookie is set. Please note that blocking the authentication cookies described in Section 3.1 will prevent you from signing in or will sign you out unexpectedly, since they are required for the Service to recognise your account.
If we introduce analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies in the future, we will provide an in-product control allowing you to accept or reject those categories independently of strictly necessary cookies.
6. Other Similar Technologies
We may use server-side logging (IP address, request timestamps, user agent) for security, fraud prevention, and diagnostics, as described further in our Privacy Policy. This logging happens on our servers rather than through a cookie stored on your device.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy as our use of cookies and similar technologies changes. We will post the updated Policy with a new effective date and, for material changes — particularly the introduction of any non-essential cookie category — provide notice through the Platform.
