Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Margin uses cookies and similar technologies on the web application. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a web application when you visit. They are widely used to make applications work efficiently and to provide information to the site owner. Margin uses both session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) and persistent cookies (stored on your device for a defined period).

2. Cookies We Use

Cookie Name Type Purpose Duration
lsme_session Strictly necessary Maintains your authenticated session after login. Without this cookie you cannot remain logged in. Session / 7 days (if "Remember me" is selected)
lsme_csrf Strictly necessary Prevents cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks on form submissions. Session
lsme_prefs Functional Stores your UI preferences such as sidebar state, active panel, and display settings. 1 year
stripe_mid Third-party Set by Stripe for fraud prevention and device fingerprinting during payment processing. 1 year

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Session and CSRF cookies are strictly necessary for the application to function securely. These cannot be disabled without preventing you from using the Service. Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent.

4. Functional Cookies

Preference cookies improve your experience by remembering your settings between sessions. They do not track your activity across other websites. You can clear these via your browser settings at any time without losing access to the Service.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Stripe may set cookies on your device when you access payment and billing features. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. We do not use any advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to the Service. For guidance on managing cookies in your specific browser, visit allaboutcookies.org.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance. For queries, contact us at hello@getmargin.co.uk.
