Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 1, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how you interact with the platform. Bylaw uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to provide a better user experience.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to keep you signed in to your account across sessions; remember your language preference (English or Arabic); maintain your theme and display preferences; ensure secure access to your account and protect against unauthorized activity; understand how users navigate and use the platform to improve our services; and remember form inputs and document settings during your session.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the platform to function properly. They handle authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, the Service cannot operate. Examples include session tokens, CSRF protection tokens, and language preference.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the platform by collecting anonymized usage data. This information helps us improve the user experience, identify popular features, and fix issues. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferred view modes (list, grid, tiles), document editor settings, and dashboard layout preferences. The platform can function without these cookies, but your experience may be less convenient.
4. Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to block or delete cookies, though this may affect the functionality of the Service. To manage cookies, access your browser's settings or preferences menu and look for the privacy or cookies section. Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using Bylaw, as they are required for authentication and security.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Our payment processor (Stripe) may set cookies when you visit payment pages to facilitate secure transactions and fraud prevention. We do not control these third-party cookies, and they are governed by the respective third party's privacy policy. We do not use advertising cookies or allow third-party advertising networks to set cookies on our platform.
6. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to store your authentication tokens (for keeping you signed in), language and theme preferences, and temporary document data during editing sessions. Local storage data remains on your device until you clear your browser data or sign out.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes through the Service.
