Cookie Policy
Draft for legal review — the reviewed version will replace this text before public launch.
This Cookie Policy explains how YourBackers Private Limited uses cookies and similar technologies on YourBackers AI. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
2. Your choices and consent
When you first visit, a banner asks for your choice. Necessary cookies are always on because the Service cannot work securely without them. Optional categories stay off until you allow them, and you can accept all, reject non-essential cookies or choose category by category.
| Category | What it covers | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Signing you in, protecting sign-in and payment flows, remembering your cookie choice | Always on |
| Functional | Google One Tap sign-in prompt (loads a Google script, which may set Google cookies) and remembered conveniences such as a dismissed announcement, a collapsed sidebar or your last payment method | Off until you allow it |
| Analytics | Anonymous usage measurement (not used today) | Off |
| Marketing | Advertising or cross-site tracking (not used) | Off |
Your choice is stored in the yb_consent cookie on your device for 180 days and applies to that browser only. We ask again when it expires or when we change what these categories cover. A record of each choice (a random identifier, the choice, the policy version, the page and the time; linked to your Account only if you are signed in) is kept as proof of consent.
Changing or withdrawing your consent
Use "Cookie settings" in the website footer, on this page or in Settings > Privacy & cookies at any time. Withdrawing consent switches optional categories off, stops optional scripts from loading and deletes the optional browser storage listed below. Withdrawal does not affect anything that happened before.
Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, optional cookies stay off and the banner tells you so. You can still turn categories on yourself.
3. Essential cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| yb_at | Access token that keeps you signed in (HttpOnly, secure) | About 15 minutes, renewed while you are active |
| yb_rt | Refresh token used only by the sign-in service to renew your session (HttpOnly, secure) | Up to 30 days or until you sign out |
| yb_otn | One-time security value that protects Google One Tap sign-in (HttpOnly) | 10 minutes |
| yb_oauth | Protects sign-in with Google, Microsoft or Apple against request forgery and stores where to return you (HttpOnly, encrypted) | 10 minutes |
| yb_plink | Remembers a pending request to connect a sign-in provider to your existing account after you enter your password (HttpOnly) | 15 minutes |
| yb_consent | Remembers your cookie choice (categories, policy version, time and a random identifier; no personal data) | 180 days |
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. If you block them in your browser, you will not be able to sign in.
4. Cookies set by sign-in and payment providers
- The Google One Tap prompt is shown only if you allow Functional cookies. Google, Microsoft and Apple may set their own cookies when you choose to sign in with them (a sign-in you start yourself is allowed even without Functional consent). These are governed by their respective privacy policies.
- Razorpay and Cashfree may set cookies inside their checkout windows to process your payment securely and prevent fraud. These are governed by their privacy policies.
5. Browser storage we use
| Key | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| yb:pending-action | Keeps the prompt or tool action you started before signing in, so it can continue automatically afterwards | Necessary | 24 hours |
| yb:pitch-selection:<project> | Remembers the assets you picked for a pitch room | Necessary | Until you change the selection or clear site data |
| yb:announcement:<id> | Remembers that you closed a site announcement | Functional | Until you clear site data or withdraw consent |
| yb:rail-collapsed | Remembers whether the studio sidebar is collapsed | Functional | Until you clear site data or withdraw consent |
| yb:last-payment-provider | Pre-selects the payment method you used last | Functional | Until you clear site data or withdraw consent |
| yb:one-tap:dismissed | Stops the Google sign-in prompt from reappearing in the same tab after you dismiss it | Functional | This browser tab |
6. Analytics and advertising
We do not currently use advertising cookies or third-party analytics cookies. If we introduce optional analytics in future, it will load only if you allow the Analytics category, and we will update this Policy first.
7. Managing cookies
Besides "Cookie settings", you can delete or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies will prevent sign-in and some features from working. Clearing site data also resets your cookie choice, so the banner will ask again.
