Cookie policy
Draft for legal review. The owner fills in the bracketed details before publishing. This page describes the cookies and similar technologies used on the ThanklyClub website and dashboard.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small file that a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies include the browser's local storage (localStorage). Necessary cookies don't require consent; we use any others only with your consent.
Necessary cookies
- pk_lk: the session of a store or advertiser dashboard. HttpOnly, kept for 14 days or until you sign out.
- pk_admin: the service administrator session. HttpOnly, kept for 14 days or until sign-out.
- pk-theme (localStorage): your chosen dashboard theme, light or dark. Kept until you clear your browser data.
Why we need necessary cookies
Without them the dashboard wouldn't know you're signed in, and you'd have to log in on every page. We don't use these cookies for advertising, profiling, or sharing data with third parties.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running the service and keeping sign-in secure. Necessary cookies don't require consent.
Third-party services
- Google Fonts: the site's fonts load from Google's servers. No cookies are set, but your browser sends your IP address to Google. [To confirm: keep this or serve the fonts from our own server.]
- [Analytics service, if one is added: name, cookies, retention period, link to its policy.]
What we don't use
- Advertising cookies and retargeting pixels.
- Cookies that profile website visitors.
- Sharing cookie data with ad networks.
- Tracking of store shoppers through the plugin: shoppers on a store's site get no cookies from ThanklyClub.
The plugin in a store
The ThanklyClub plugin sets no cookies for shoppers on the store's site. Clicks are tracked through an identifier in the link, and conversions through the partner's postback.
After a shopper moves to the partner's site, the partner's cookie rules apply.
How to manage cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block necessary cookies, signing in to the dashboard won't work.

How this policy may change
If we add analytics or other services, we'll list them here before turning them on and show a consent banner where one is required. The date of the last update is at the end of the page.
FAQ
Do I have to accept cookies to sign in to the dashboard?
No. Necessary cookies, which means the dashboard session and the theme choice, are set without consent because sign-in doesn't work without them. We use any other category only with your consent.
Does the plugin set cookies for my store's customers?
No. The ThanklyClub plugin sets no cookies for shoppers on the store's site. A click is tracked through an identifier in the link, and a conversion arrives by the partner's postback.
How do I delete ThanklyClub cookies?
In your browser settings, delete cookies for the ThanklyClub domain and clear local storage. You'll have to sign in again, and the theme will go back to the default.
Does ThanklyClub share cookie data with ad networks?
No. Cookies are used for sign-in and the dashboard theme. There are no advertising cookies or pixels on the site.
What if I can't sign in after blocking cookies?
Allow cookies for the ThanklyClub domain in your browser settings and reload the page. Dashboard sign-in doesn't work without the session cookie.
