Cookie Policy

What BillGutter stores in the browser and why.

BillGutter uses cookies and product events to run the service, protect accounts, understand the signup and upload flow, and keep proof-first workflows reliable.

Last updated: September 7, 2026

Consent status

Based on the current source scan, BillGutter uses necessary cookies and first-party operational events. A full opt-in marketing-cookie banner should be added before any non-essential ad tracking, cross-site tracking, or international launch.

Cookie and privacy rules vary by state and country. This policy should be reviewed by qualified counsel before broad commercial launch.

Strictly necessary cookies

Used for login sessions, base-path routing, account security, abuse prevention, and reliable form submission. The service cannot work correctly without these.

Security and reliability signals

Used to understand failed requests, rate limits, uptime, errors, and suspicious activity. These signals help protect accounts, workspaces, and uploaded bill data.

First-party product analytics

BillGutter may record product events such as landing-page visits, signup progress, plan selection, upload steps, billing actions, and feature use. These records are used to improve the product and launch funnel, not to sell personal bill data.

Payment-provider cookies

When a user opens Stripe checkout, invoices, or the billing portal, Stripe may use cookies and similar technologies under Stripe's own policies. BillGutter does not store full card numbers.

No public ad pixels found

A source-code scan found no obvious Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, cross-site ad network, or third-party remarketing embed in the public BillGutter app code at the time this policy was updated.

Future integrations

If BillGutter later adds non-essential analytics, advertising pixels, cross-site tracking, or third-party embeds that require consent, the site should add a clear consent banner or preference center before those tools run.

Consent and controls

How BillGutter should handle cookie consent.

  • Essential authentication and security cookies are needed to provide the service.
  • Optional marketing or advertising cookies should stay disabled unless a user has the required notice and consent.
  • BillGutter is built for U.S. users today. If the product expands internationally, cookie and privacy consent should be reviewed before launch in each market.
  • Do-not-sell, opt-out, or Global Privacy Control handling should be added before using targeted advertising or selling or sharing personal information as defined by applicable state law.
