Cookie Policy

Effective Date: April 18, 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how FollowUpExpo ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar browser technologies when you visit followupexpo.com (the "Service"). It explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control your preferences.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, authentication state, and other information to improve your experience. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which we use for comparable purposes.

How We Use Cookies

FollowUpExpo uses cookies and local storage for the following purposes:

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies

Required for the service to function. Cannot be disabled without breaking core features.

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | |---|---|---| | Session token | Authenticates your login session | Session | | CSRF token | Protects against cross-site request forgery | Session | | Load balancer | Routes requests to the correct server | Session |

2. Functional Cookies / Local Storage

Enhance your experience by remembering your choices.

| Storage Key | Purpose | Duration | |---|---|---| | followup_sender_info | Remembers your name, role, company, and product in the email generator | Persistent (until cleared) | | Language preference | Remembers your selected language (e.g. English, 中文) | 1 year | | Theme preference | Saves light/dark mode setting | 1 year |

3. Analytics Cookies

Help us understand usage patterns and improve the product.

4. Performance Cookies

Optimize reliability and speed.

Third-Party Cookies

We use a small number of trusted third-party services that may set their own cookies:

| Provider | Purpose | |---|---| | Analytics provider | Website usage statistics | | Stripe (or equivalent) | Secure payment processing | | Authentication provider | Social login (Google, etc.) | | CDN provider | Fast delivery of static assets |

These providers have their own privacy policies and cookie disclosures. We do not control third-party cookies.

Local Storage (Non-Cookie)

In addition to cookies, FollowUpExpo uses browser local storage to persist your follow-up email sender details (followup_sender_info) between sessions. This data is stored entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers independently — it is only included in API requests when you choose to generate an email.

You can clear this data at any time via your browser's developer tools or by clearing site data.

Cookie Duration

Impact of Disabling Cookies

| Cookie Type | Effect if Disabled | |---|---| | Essential | Login and core scanning features will not work | | Functional | Sender details and preferences must be re-entered each visit | | Analytics | No effect on functionality; limits our ability to improve the product | | Performance | Slightly slower page loads |
