Cookie Policy
How we use cookies and similar technologies on the Drip platform.
Section 1
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Drip ("Drip," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use the Drip platform at https://drippay.dev (the "Service").
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we collect and process personal data.
Summary: Drip uses only strictly necessary cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use any cookies for advertising, analytics, behavioral tracking, or targeted marketing.
Section 2
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to the website operator.
Session Cookies
Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while navigating the Service.
Persistent Cookies
Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They enable the Service to recognize you on return visits.
First-Party Cookies
Cookies set directly by the website you are visiting (drippay.dev).
Third-Party Cookies
Cookies set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by integrated service providers such as authentication services.
Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, the Service uses localStorage, a browser mechanism that stores small amounts of data on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with every request. We use localStorage solely to persist user interface preferences and application state. These items are disclosed in Section 3 below.
Section 3
Cookies and Technologies We Use
3.1 Cookies
All cookies used by the Service are strictly necessary for authentication and session management. They are set by our third-party authentication provider, Privy.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| privy-token | Privy(3rd party) | Stores the authenticated session access token for user login | Persistent | Up to 30 days | Strictly Necessary |
| privy-session | Privy(3rd party) | Indicates an active authenticated session | Session | Browser session | Strictly Necessary |
| privy-refresh-token | Privy(3rd party) | Enables token refresh without requiring re-authentication | Persistent | Up to 30 days | Strictly Necessary |
Note: Drip itself does not set any cookies directly. All cookies listed above are set by Privy, our authentication provider, and are essential for user login and session management.
3.2 localStorage
The following localStorage items are stored on your device for user interface preferences and application state. These are not cookies and are not sent to our servers with requests. We disclose them here for transparency.
| Key | Purpose | Set By |
|---|---|---|
| drip-user-preferences | Stores UI display preferences such as simple mode | Drip |
| drip_tutorial_state | Tracks tutorial completion progress | Drip |
| drip:runs:filters | Persists filter selections on the runs page | Drip |
| drip:checklist:dismissed | Records when the onboarding checklist has been dismissed | Drip |
| drip:checklist:completed | Tracks completed onboarding steps | Drip |
| drip_next_settlement_time | Persists settlement countdown timer across page reloads | Drip |
| drip-cookie-acknowledged | Records that the cookie information banner has been acknowledged | Drip |
3.3 Third-Party Wallet Connections
If you connect an external wallet via WalletConnect, the WalletConnect SDK may store session data in localStorage under keys prefixed with wc@. This data is used solely for maintaining your wallet connection state and is strictly necessary for the wallet authentication feature. WalletConnect does not set browser cookies.
Section 4
Legal Basis
The legal bases for the cookies and similar technologies used on the Service are as follows:
ePrivacy Directive (Article 5(3))
All cookies used by the Service are strictly necessary for the provision of the Service explicitly requested by the user (authentication and session management). Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC), strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement.
GDPR (Article 6(1)(f))
To the extent that cookies process personal data, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing secure authentication and maintaining user sessions. This interest is balanced against your rights and does not override them, as these cookies are essential for the Service to function.
No consent-requiring cookies: Drip does not use any analytics, marketing, advertising, or behavioral tracking cookies. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will obtain your prior informed consent before setting them on your device.
Section 5
How to Manage Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically view, delete, and block cookies from within your browser.
Warning: Disabling or blocking the cookies listed in this policy will prevent you from logging in to the Drip dashboard, as they are required for authentication.

Clearing localStorage
localStorage data can be cleared using your browser's developer tools. In most browsers, open Developer Tools (F12), navigate to the Application or Storage tab, and select localStorage for the drippay.dev domain. Clearing localStorage will reset your UI preferences and onboarding progress but will not affect your account or data.
