Cookie Notice
This Cookie Notice explains how Benchwright LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on benchwright.ai. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. “Local storage” and “session storage” are similar mechanisms provided by the browser. Together we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this notice.
2. Cookies we use today
| Name | Category | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
bw_jwt |
Strictly necessary | Stores your signed-in session so protected pages load without re-authenticating on every request. | Matches the Supabase access token lifetime (typically up to 1 hour), then refreshed. |
Supabase auth items in localStorage |
Strictly necessary | Holds the refresh token and session metadata the Supabase SDK needs to keep you signed in across page loads. | Until you sign out or clear site data. |
bw_vid |
First-party analytics | A random identifier that lets us count unique visitors per day without identifying who you are. The value is a UUID generated on your first visit; it is not linked to your name, email, or any third-party profile. | 1 year, or until you clear site data. |
We do not set any third-party, marketing, or advertising cookies. The bw_vid cookie is set by us (benchwright.ai) and is never shared with another vendor.
3. How we count traffic
Instead of sending traffic data to a third party such as Google Analytics, we record a single row in our own database for each page you load. That row contains the path you visited, the timestamp, your bw_vid identifier, and your User-Agent string. It does not contain your IP address, name, or any cross-site profile.
We use these rows to compute aggregate counts (daily visitors, popular pages, growth trends) on an admin-only page inside the product. Raw rows are deleted automatically after 90 days.
4. How to control cookies
Most browsers let you see and delete cookies, and block cookies from specific sites:
Blocking bw_jwt will sign you out and break protected pages. Blocking bw_vid is fine — the site works exactly the same; we just won't be able to tell whether you came back tomorrow.
5. Changes
If we update this notice we will change the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be announced in-product or by email before taking effect.
