Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences between visits, and to understand how a site is being used. Similar technologies — local storage and session storage — do much the same job, and everything described on this page applies to those too.

A cookie set by docstox.com is a first-party cookie. One set by another domain whose code runs on our pages is a third-party cookie. A session cookie is deleted when you close your browser; a persistent one stays until it expires or you clear it.

How we use cookies

We group what we set into two categories, and only one of them is optional.

Strictly necessary

Always on

Keeping you signed in, protecting forms against cross-site request forgery, remembering your theme, holding your place in a flow, and storing the cookie decision you make on this site. Without these the site cannot function, so they are not optional — but we disclose them here rather than pretending they don't exist.

Analytics

Off until you accept

Product analytics and session replay, used to see which features get used, where people get stuck, and what breaks. These do not run at all until you accept them — if you decline, nothing is collected and no analytics cookie is written.

We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, we do not build advertising profiles, and we do not sell personal data.

Cookies we set

The main items, and what each one is for:

NameCategoryPurpose
sz_refreshNecessaryKeeps you signed in between visits. Cleared when you log out.
sz_accessNecessaryShort-lived session token for the current tab. Cleared when the tab closes.
themeNecessaryRemembers whether you chose the light or dark appearance.
docstox:cookie-consentNecessaryStores the choice you make on the cookie banner, so we don't ask again on every page.
ph_* / posthogAnalyticsPostHog analytics and session replay. Only written after you accept analytics cookies.

Exact names and lifetimes can change as we update the platform. This table describes the categories and purposes, which is what your choice actually governs.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by services we rely on rather than by us directly:

  • PostHog — product analytics and session replay. Analytics category; off until you accept.
  • Razorpay — payment processing. Set only when you go through a checkout, and necessary to complete a payment securely.
  • Google — if you choose to sign in with Google, Google sets its own cookies as part of that sign-in.

These providers process data under their own policies, which govern what they collect once their code runs.

Your choices

You can change your decision at any time, and declining costs you nothing — every feature on DocStoX works with analytics turned off.

You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will sign you out and may stop parts of the site from working. We also honour your browser's Do Not Track signal.

For what we do with personal data more broadly, see our privacy policy.
