Cookie Policy
Effective date: October 25, 2026
What cookies and similar technologies Chainlink uses, why, and how you can control them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, keep information in the browser in the same way. This policy covers both. Chainlink (“Chainlink”, “we”, “us”) uses them on the Chainlink website and purchasing service (the “Service”).
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use only essential cookies, which keep the Service working and keep you signed in, and preference cookies, which remember choices you make. We do not use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, and we do not share cookie data with advertisers.
3. The cookies we use
| Name | Set by | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token | Chainlink | Essential | Keeps you signed in and checks that your session is valid. | 1 day from sign-in, including if you close the browser. Removed when you sign out. |
| better-auth.* (sign-in flow cookies) | Chainlink | Essential | Protects the sign-in process against forged requests, including Google sign-in where enabled. | Minutes, or until sign-in completes. |
| sidebar_state | Chainlink | Preference | Remembers whether the navigation sidebar is open or closed. | 7 days. |
| Theme setting (local storage) | Chainlink | Preference | Remembers light, dark or system appearance. | Until you change it or clear your browser storage. |
| Cookie notice acknowledgement (local storage) | Chainlink | Preference | Remembers that you have seen the cookie notice, so it is not shown again. | Until you clear your browser storage. |
| Payment cookies (when billing is enabled) | Dodo Payments | Essential | Fraud prevention and security on Dodo Payments’ checkout pages. Dodo Payments sets these, not Chainlink. | As set out in Dodo Payments’ cookie policy. |
4. How can I control cookies?
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings; the help menu of your browser explains how. Essential cookies cannot be rejected in the Service, because the Service cannot work without them. Blocking them will stop you from signing in, because the sign-in session cannot be kept.
- Preference cookies and local storage can be cleared in the same way. Clearing local storage resets the theme and the cookie notice.
- Your choices are saved in the browser you use, so they apply only to that browser and device.
5. Do we serve targeted advertising?
No. The Service shows no advertising and does not use cookies or similar technologies to track you for advertising.
6. Consent
Essential cookies do not need your consent. Preference cookies are set only when you use the setting they remember. We show a notice about cookies on your first visit; it is information, not a choice, because we set no non-essential cookies. If we ever add cookies that are not essential, we will update this page and ask for your consent before setting them.
7. How often will we update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this policy when our use of cookies changes. The effective date at the top of this page will change when we do. Please check it from time to time.
