Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 22, 2026. Short version: an essential session cookie, plus Google Analytics to understand site usage.
The short version
Montu sets a secure, HTTP-only session cookie that keeps you logged in to your dashboard, and Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid) to understand how visitors use the site. We never use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file stored in your browser by a website. Cookies can be used to remember you between visits, store preferences, or track your behaviour across multiple sites. At Montu, we only use cookies for the first purpose: remembering that you are logged in.
The cookie we use
| Name | Purpose | Type | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| authjs.session-token | Keeps you authenticated in the dashboard. Without it, you would need to log in on every page load. | Strictly necessary, HTTP-only, Secure | 14 days (or when you sign out) |
| _ga, _ga_*, _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors and sessions to measure site usage. | Analytics (Google Analytics) | Up to 13 months (_ga, _ga_*); 24 hours (_gid) |
Cookies we do NOT use
- ×Any advertising or retargeting network
- ×Hotjar, FullStory, or any session-recording tool
- ×Intercom, Crisp, or any live-chat widget
- ×Any cross-site tracking or fingerprinting
- ×Third-party advertising or retargeting pixels (Google Ads, Meta Pixel, etc.)
Third-party cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics to measure page views, referrer, device type, and site usage. Google Analytics sets its own cookies (_ga, _ga_*, _gid) in your browser; data is processed under Google's Privacy Policy. We also use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to measure aggregate page performance — these are cookieless and do not collect personally identifiable information. When you complete a payment via Dodo Payments, Dodo may set their own cookies governed by Dodo Payments' Privacy Policy. These cookies are set by Dodo's domain and are not under our control. The same applies to any social platform you authorize Montu to publish to (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok) — those platforms operate cookies under their own privacy policies, but they are not set by montuai.com.
Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. If you delete or block the session cookie, you will be logged out of your Montu dashboard and will need to sign in again. All major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) allow you to view and delete cookies from the browser settings menu.
Changes to this policy
If we ever introduce new cookies, we will update this policy and notify active clients by email before the change takes effect. We do not plan to add marketing or analytics cookies.
