Cookie Policy
Last Updated: September 4, 2026
Signupkit is operated by Elementra LLC, a company registered in Delaware, USA ("we," "our," or "us"). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) on our website and platform (the "Service") at signupkit.co. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function efficiently and provide information to owners.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Authenticate and secure your account
- Maintain your login session
- Remember your preferences for enhanced experience
- Analyze usage to improve the Service (via Datafast)
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for core functionality (e.g., logging in, security). They cannot be disabled via our settings, as the Service requires them. No consent needed under EU law, but you can manage via browser (may impair functionality).
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token or __Secure-better-auth.session_token | Maintains login session and authenticates identity | 30 days | Signupkit (First-party, HTTP-only, Secure) |
| Cookie Cache (internal) | Caches session for performance/security | 30 days | Signupkit (First-party) |
| form_access_<form id> | Signed proof that you entered the correct password for a password-protected event, so you do not have to re-enter it on every page | 12 hours | Signupkit (First-party, HTTP-only, Secure) |
Functional/Preference Cookies
These remember your choices for personalized features (not essential for basic use).
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider | Consent Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sidebar_state | Remembers sidebar open/closed in dashboard | 7 days | Signupkit (First-party) | Yes (non-essential) |
Local and Session Storage
These are not cookies, but they store small amounts of data in your browser and are covered by the same rules. Nothing here is sent to us automatically; it stays on your device until cleared.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent, cookie-consent-date | Records your cookie choice and when you made it, so we do not ask again. Strictly necessary — without it we cannot honour your preference. | Local storage | Until cleared |
| signup-hut-guest-draft | Keeps an event you started building before signing in, so your work is not lost when you create an account | Session storage | Until the browser tab closes |
| pendingInvitationToken | Holds an invitation link you opened before signing in, so it can be applied once you log in | Local storage | Until used or cleared |
Analytics Cookies (Third-Party)
We use Datafast for usage analytics to improve the Service (e.g., traffic patterns, feature usage).
- Provider: Datafast (datafa.st)
- Purpose: Collect anonymized/non-personal data (e.g., visitor behavior, IPs via cookies) for insights
- Duration: Varies (typically session or persistent)
- Type: First-party cookies set via Datafast script
- Consent Required?: Yes (non-essential analytics)
See Datafast's privacy details in their policy. We do not use advertising/marketing cookies.
Other Third-Party Cookies
- Stripe (payments): Fraud prevention and preferences on stripe.com when you pay for a Signupkit plan or when a participant pays for a paid slot (Checkout on the organizer’s connected account).
- Google (OAuth login): Authentication/consent (google.com domain).
- Google Maps Places (location autocomplete): When you type a location while building an event, we load a Google Maps script from maps.googleapis.com to suggest addresses. Google may set cookies and receives your search text and IP address. This only happens inside the event builder, never on public signup pages.
These are set only during relevant actions and controlled by those providers (subject to their policies).
Consent and Management
For EU/EEA visitors, we display a cookie consent banner on first visit (and as needed) to obtain your informed consent before setting non-essential cookies (functional/analytics/third-party). Strictly necessary cookies set without consent.
- Accept/Reject: Granular choices (e.g., accept all, reject non-essentials).
- Withdraw: Re-open banner via footer link or delete cookies in browser.
- No banner if only essentials: But we use non-essentials → banner shown.
You can also manage via browser settings (may limit functionality):
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy > Cookies
- Firefox: Options > Privacy > Cookies
- Etc.
Blocking all cookies may prevent login or full use.
Security, Duration, and Updates
- Our cookies use Secure/HTTP-only/SameSite attributes where possible.
- Durations: As listed (session = browser close; persistent = fixed period).
- We may update this policy; material changes posted here (and via banner if needed).

Under GDPR/ePrivacy, you can access info, object, or complain to a supervisory authority.
