1. The short version
Drive Dash AI sets no analytics, advertising, or cross-site tracking cookies. Everything listed below is strictly necessary to sign you in and remember basic interface choices, so under the EU/UK cookie rules no consent is required — which is why our notice is informational rather than a consent gate.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Drive Dash AI (authentication provider) | Keeps you signed in and refreshes your session. Without it you cannot use the application. | Session, refreshed while you stay signed in; cleared on sign-out. |
| sidebar_state | Drive Dash AI | Remembers whether the application sidebar is expanded or collapsed. | 7 days. |
3. Browser local and session storage
These are not cookies — they never leave your browser and are not sent to our servers — but we list them for transparency.
| Key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| drivedashai.activeOrg | Remembers which school workspace you last had open. | Until cleared. |
| drivedashai.dashboardLayout | Remembers your dashboard card arrangement. | Until cleared. |
| drivedashai.pendingPlan | Remembers a plan you selected before signing up so checkout can offer it. | Until cleared. |
| drivedash-gbp-status | Carries the result of a Google connection popup back to the app window. | Until cleared. |
| drivedashai.cookieNotice | Records that you acknowledged this cookie notice, so it stops reappearing. | Until cleared. |
| drivedash-admin-unlock (session storage) | Marks an internal staff session as unlocked; internal use only. | Until the browser tab closes. |
4. Third-party content that may set cookies
- Google Fonts and a map tile stylesheet are loaded from third-party CDNs to render type and maps. These requests expose your IP address to those providers but are not used by us for tracking.
- Stripe sets its own cookies on Stripe-hosted checkout and billing portal pages, governed by Stripe's own policies, and is necessary for fraud prevention and payment.
- When you connect a service such as Google Business Profile, Google Analytics, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, or Pinterest, that provider's sign-in pages set their own cookies under their own policies.
5. Your choices
Because we set no optional cookies, there is no non-essential category to switch off. You can still block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but blocking the authentication cookie will prevent you from signing in.
You can reopen the cookie notice at any time from the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer.
If we ever introduce analytics or marketing cookies, we will add a granular consent banner that is off by default for every non-essential category, will not load those scripts before you opt in, will store your choices, and will let you change them from the same footer link. This page will be updated before any such cookie is set.
