Cookie Policy

This Cookies Notice (“Notice”) explains how Automation Blueprints Marketplace (“ABM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) employs cookies and similar technologies on the website https://automation-blueprints-marketplace.deploypad.app (the “Website”). This Notice is intended to complement ABM’s Privacy Notice and should be read in conjunction therewith.

  1. Definition of Cookies

    For the purposes of this Notice, “cookies” are small text files or data fragments stored on a user’s device when accessing a website. Cookies enable the website to recognize the user’s device and store certain information relevant to the provision of services. ABM may also employ analogous technologies, including web beacons and local storage, to support website functionality, analytics, and security.

  2. Categories of Cookies and Their Purpose

    CookiePurposeDurationCategoryLegal Basis
    next-auth.session-token / __Secure-next-auth.session-tokenMaintains user authentication and delivers ABM's first-party session enrichment payload (published blueprint counts, adapter export totals, sandbox tier, and training-consent snapshots) so the UI can honor consent-aware experiences without third-party trackers.Session (expires after 30 days or on browser closure)Strictly necessaryPerformance of contract / Legitimate interests / Consent for training-consent toggles

  3. Management of Cookies

    Users may control or delete cookies through their browser settings. Most web browsers allow users to block, delete, or be notified of cookies. Notwithstanding such controls, the disabling of strictly necessary cookies may impede the proper functioning of the Website. Specifically, the sidebar:state cookie may be managed through the cookie consent mechanism implemented on the Website or via browser-level controls.

  4. Session Enrichment & Training-Consent Toggles

    The `next-auth.session-token` cookie also carries the consent-aware indicators defined in our Data Products Catalog(Plans F-201–F-205). These indicators power creator dashboards, sandbox quotas, and labeling exports without invoking third-party trackers.

    • Training consent: Toggle per blueprint version inside Publish Blueprint ▸ Training Consent. Disabling consent removes the relevant metrics from future session tokens and from adapter/sandbox datasets.
    • Business profile settings: Profile ▸ Settings ▸ Business Profile lets you revoke analytics consent, delete company/role enrichment, or export the data prior to deletion. The change propagates into new session tokens immediately.
    • Sandbox overrides: The `abm.sandbox.overrides` entry in `localStorage` only saves your latest JSON overrides for the on-platform sandbox. Use the “Clear overrides” control or browser storage tools to delete it at any time; doing so also wipes the corresponding dataset scope cache.

    These controls ensure that first-party datasets (blueprint metrics, sandbox telemetry, business-profile enrichment, and session flags) stay aligned with consent and retention commitments documented in `docs/governance/*.md`.

  5. Data Protection and Security Considerations

    Cookies are processed in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and other applicable data protection laws. Strictly necessary cookies do not retain personal data beyond what is strictly required for their operation. Authentication cookies are configured with Secure and HttpOnly attributes to mitigate the risk of interception or cross-site scripting attacks.

  6. Modifications to This Notice

    ABM reserves the right to update or amend this Notice at any time to reflect changes in operational practices, applicable law, or regulatory guidance. Users are encouraged to review this Notice periodically. The most recent effective date is indicated at the beginning of this document.
