Honeycomb Cookie Policy
Effective date: [Effective date] Last updated: [Last updated]
1. In short
Honeycomb, provided by Scaled Abundance Inc., uses one kind of cookie: the sign-in cookie that keeps you signed in. It also saves a few display preferences in your browser's own storage. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics or tracking cookies, or third-party tracking scripts. Because everything we set is needed for the service or remembers a choice you made, we do not show a cookie consent banner. [Counsel to confirm that no consent is needed for the storage listed below in each target market.]
2. Cookies and browser storage
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep and send back on later visits. Local storage and session storage are similar places in your browser where a site can keep small values. Local storage stays until you clear it; session storage is cleared when you close the tab. Values in local and session storage stay in your browser and are not sent to our servers automatically.
3. What we set
3.1 Cookies
| Name | Purpose | Lasts | Can you turn it off? |
|---|---|---|---|
better-auth.session_token (on HTTPS: __Secure-better-auth.session_token) | Keeps you signed in and tells us which session you are using. HTTP-only (scripts cannot read it), sent only over HTTPS in production, same-site only. | Up to 7 days | No. Without it you cannot sign in. |
| [Other authentication cookies to confirm] | Our authentication library may set short-lived cookies during sign-in, single sign-on and sign-out. | [Duration to confirm] | No. Needed to sign in. |
3.2 Local storage (preferences)
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
hc_theme, hc_dark | Your light or dark theme choice. |
honeycomb:rail, honeycomb:rail:agents, honeycomb:rail:width | Whether the side menu and its agents list are open, and its width. |
honeycomb:conv-width | Width of the conversation panel. |
honeycomb:interview-panel-width | Width of the setup interview panel. |
honeycomb:sources-sort, honeycomb:sources-sidebar-w | Sort order and panel width on the connectors page. |
honeycomb:brain-map-layout:<company>:<orientation> | Where you dragged items on the Company Brain map. |
honeycomb:brain-map-replay-speed:<user> | Your replay speed on the Company Brain map. |
honeycomb:upgrade-dismissed:<agent> | That you dismissed an agent upgrade offer. |
hc_persona_banner_dismissed | That you dismissed a banner on the agents page. |
hc-switch-dismissed | That you dismissed the email verification notice. |
You can block or clear these; Honeycomb still works but forgets the choice.
3.3 Session storage (this tab only)
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
honeycomb:brain-chat:<company>:<user> | Keeps up to the last 40 messages of an open Company Brain chat so a page reload does not lose them. Cleared when the tab closes. |
hc-tz-sent | Notes that your browser's time zone was already sent this session (used to set your company's time zone if it was never set). |
hc-verify-later | That you chose to verify your email later this session. |
4. Third parties
- Fonts. Our fonts are served from our own servers, so loading a page does not contact Google or any other font provider.
- Stripe. If you go to checkout or the billing portal, you are taken to Stripe, which sets its own cookies under its own policy.
- Your company's identity provider and connected systems. If you sign in with single sign-on or connect a system by signing in to it (for example Google, Microsoft or a CRM), that provider's sign-in page sets its own cookies under its own policy.
5. Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies and site storage in your browser settings. If you block the sign-in cookie you will not be able to sign in. Clearing local storage resets your display preferences.
6. Changes
We will update the date at the top when this policy changes. If we ever add analytics or other optional cookies, we will ask for consent where the law requires it before setting them.
