Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 2026-05-03
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and provide information to the operators of the site.
How we use cookies and similar technologies
Databrill UK Limited uses cookies and similar storage technologies (such as browser localStorage) to operate the Databrill Core product and the Databrill Core marketing pages. We are committed to being transparent about the cookies and storage we use and to using only what we need.
Cookies and storage we use
We currently use only first-party cookies and browser storage that are strictly necessary for the operation of the Service. None of these require consent under UK and EU law because they are strictly necessary.
Strictly necessary
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| databrill_session | HTTP-only session cookie that identifies you after sign-in | Session / on logout | Cookie |
| databrill_pkce | Short-lived PKCE state during the OIDC login flow | Until login completes | Cookie |
| theme | Remembers your dark / light mode preference | Persistent | localStorage |
| db_auth_hint | Records whether you are currently signed in so the navigation bar can render the correct button without a flash on page load. Contains only the literal value “authenticated”; cleared when you sign out. | Persistent | localStorage |
If you block strictly necessary cookies, sign-in and core product features will not work.
Third-party cookies
Payment processing (Stripe)
When you make a payment or use checkout features, we use Stripe to process payments securely. Stripe may set the following cookies on pages where payment features are present:
| Name | Purpose | Set by | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __stripe_mid | Fraud prevention and analytics | stripe.com | 1 year |
| __stripe_sid | Session identifier for payment processing | stripe.com | 30 minutes |
| Device fingerprinting cookies | Security and fraud detection | stripe.com | Variable |
These Stripe cookies are essential for secure payment processing, fraud prevention, compliance with financial regulations, and maintaining payment session integrity. They are only set when you interact with payment-related features.
Other third-party content
If the marketing pages embed content from third-party sites (for example, an embedded video), those sites may set their own cookies. We do not control those cookies and recommend you check the relevant site’s policy.
We do NOT use cookies for
- Tracking your browsing activity across other websites.
- Targeted advertising or remarketing.
- Selling your data to third parties.
- Cross-site analytics or social-media tracking.
Your choices
You cannot fully disable strictly necessary cookies and storage as they are required for the Service to function. You can still:
- Configure your browser to block, delete, or warn about cookies.
- Clear browser localStorage through your browser settings or developer tools (this will reset your theme preference to the system default and clear the navigation sign-in hint).
- Sign out, which clears the session cookie.
For browser-specific instructions:
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Safari
- Edge

International visitors
This Cookie Policy applies to all visitors regardless of location. For visitors from the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area, we operate in line with UK GDPR, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), EU GDPR, and the ePrivacy Directive.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Where the changes are material, we will give you reasonable advance notice (for example, by a notice in the product) before they take effect.
