Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Dental Shift, operated by VERTEQ PTY LTD (ABN 27 657 435 615), uses them sparingly and only where they earn their keep. This page sits alongside our Privacy Policy and explains exactly what we set, why, and how to control it. Last updated 5 May 2026.

Categories we use

  • Essential — required for sign-in, session management, CSRF protection and load balancing. Cannot be disabled without breaking the Platform.
  • Preference — remember small UI choices such as dismissed banners and last-used filters.
  • Analytics — privacy-respecting product analytics that count visits and feature usage in aggregate. No cross-site tracking, no advertising profiles, no third-party advertising pixels.

Cookies we set

  • sb-access-token — Essential — authentication session, expires when you sign out (or after up to 7 days of inactivity).
  • sb-refresh-token — Essential — refreshes your session in the background, expires when you sign out.
  • ds-consent — Preference — records your cookie-banner choice, 12 months.
  • ds-cta — Analytics — anonymous identifier used to attribute call-to-action clicks within a single session, 30 days.
  • Stripe (__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid) — set by Stripe on payment surfaces for fraud detection. See stripe.com/privacy.

No advertising cookies

We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social-media tracking pixels, or cross-site identity graphs.

Managing cookies

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via Settings → Privacy. Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from signing in. You can also use private/incognito mode to browse without persisting cookies between sessions.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Where your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to disable non-essential analytics for that browser session.
