Cookie Policy

How we use cookies and similar technologies on MyGavel.

Last updated: June 27, 2026

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage. We use these technologies to make MyGavel work, keep you signed in, and remember your preferences.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Required to authenticate you, keep your session active, protect against cross-site request forgery, and remember your consent choices. Without these, the Service will not function.

Preferences

Remember interface choices such as your theme (light/dark), the last case you worked on, or your accepted terms version. See our Terms of Service.

Analytics

We use aggregated analytics to understand which features are used and where users hit errors, so we can improve reliability. Analytics data is not sold and is not used to build profiles for advertising.

Third parties

Cookies may also be set by our payment processor during checkout and by our authentication provider (including Google when you sign in with Google). These providers act as processors under our contract.

Your choices

  • Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.
  • You may sign out at any time from Account, which invalidates your session token.
  • Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

Do Not Track

Our systems do not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, but we do not engage in cross-site advertising tracking.
