2. How Perspective Uses Cookies

Perspective uses cookies and similar technologies primarily for essential product functionality, especially secure authentication and session continuity.

• Keep you signed in between page visits
• Verify your identity after login
• Protect sessions from misuse
• Support logout and account switching
• Help detect suspicious authentication activity

These cookies are generally necessary for core account functionality.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Integrated providers such as Clerk may use their own cookies or storage mechanisms as part of authentication flows. Those technologies may be governed by their own policies. Clerk Privacy Policy: https://clerk.com/legal/privacy

Where required by law, Perspective may request consent before using non-essential cookies. Essential authentication cookies may still be used where necessary to provide secure account access.
