Effective Date: [DATE]
1. About This Policy
1.1 This Policy explains how Thunderbolt Group, LLC ("Thunderbolt," "we," "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on Thunderbolt PM at pm.tbolt.ai.
1.2 It should be read with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information generally, and our Terms of Use.
1.3 This Policy covers Thunderbolt PM only. Our marketing website at thunderboltgroup.com and Thunderbolt CRM are governed separately and may use different technologies.
2. What Cookies Are
2.1 Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels, which serve comparable purposes.
2.2 Cookies are described as first-party when set by the site you are visiting, and third-party when set by another domain.
2.3 Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.
3. Our Approach
3.1 We use only the cookies necessary to operate Thunderbolt PM.
3.2 We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to track you across other websites.
3.3 We do not sell or share personal information collected through cookies, as those terms are defined under California law.
3.4 No cookies are set before you sign in. Visiting the sign-in page does not place cookies on your device.
3.5 We do not use cookies to monitor your activity outside Thunderbolt PM. Time and activity recorded inside the platform are described in Section 10 of the Privacy Policy; that recording is a product feature, not something done through cookies or background tracking.
3.6 Because we use only strictly necessary cookies, no consent banner is required and none is shown. If we ever introduce analytics or other non-essential cookies, we will update this Policy and obtain consent before doing so.
4. Cookies We Use
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
Required for the platform to function. They cannot be switched off without making the service unusable.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [SESSION COOKIE NAME] | Thunderbolt (first-party) | Keeps you signed in and links requests to your authenticated session | Session / HttpOnly | [DURATION] |
| [CSRF TOKEN NAME] | Thunderbolt (first-party) | Protects against cross-site request forgery | Session | Session |
| [REMEMBER-ME COOKIE, if implemented] | Thunderbolt (first-party) | Keeps you signed in between visits if you choose | Persistent | [DURATION] |
[DEVELOPMENT TO CONFIRM] This table must list every cookie actually set after authentication, with real names, flags, and lifetimes. Confirm Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite attributes for each.
4.2 Local and session storage
4.2.1 We may use browser storage to hold interface preferences and short-lived application state — for example the board or list view you last used, or an unsent comment draft. [CONFIRM what is stored]
4.2.2 This information stays in your browser and is not transmitted to us as a cookie.
4.2.3 Running timers are recorded on our servers, not in your browser storage. Closing your browser does not stop a running timer. [CONFIRM]
4.3 Analytics cookies
We do not currently use analytics cookies on Thunderbolt PM. [CONFIRM this remains true at launch]
4.4 Advertising cookies
We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies on Thunderbolt PM.
5. Third-Party Cookies
5.1 Thunderbolt PM sign-in does not use a third-party identity provider. Unlike Thunderbolt CRM, the Thunderbolt PM sign-in page offers no Google sign-in option, and no third-party cookies are set during sign-in. [CONFIRM this remains true if single sign-on is added]
5.2 We do not permit third parties to place advertising or tracking cookies through Thunderbolt PM.
5.3 [CONFIRM: whether any error-monitoring, session-replay, or support-widget service is used in production.]
6. Managing Cookies
6.1 Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings.
6.2 Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in to Thunderbolt PM, because they are what maintain your authenticated session.
6.3 Browser instructions are available from Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge support pages.
6.4 Because we use no advertising or analytics cookies, there is nothing to opt out of beyond your browser controls.
6.5 Global Privacy Control. We honor the GPC signal where it applies. As we do not sell or share personal information, the signal has no practical effect on Thunderbolt PM at present. [CONFIRM implementation]
7. Changes to This Policy
7.1 We may update this Policy. We will post the revised version with a new Effective Date.
7.2 If we introduce analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies, we will update this Policy and obtain your consent before those cookies are set.
