We keep cookies minimal. Below is the complete list of what we set, why, and how to opt out.
Strictly necessary
The Laravel session cookie (laravel_session) and CSRF token (XSRF-TOKEN) are required to keep you logged in and to protect form submissions. Without them, accounts and billing don’t work. These expire when your session ends.
Analytics (optional)
On the production site only, we load Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate usage. GA4 drops _ga and _ga_* cookies. We’re not hooked up to advertising networks — we only look at anonymised counts of page views and events like “scenario completed”.
GA4 isn’t loaded in local or staging builds. The product works fine with a content blocker on.
No tracking beyond these
We don’t use advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or fingerprinting. Payment cookies are set by Dodo Payments only on their own domain during checkout — they never touch ours.
How to disable
- Use your browser’s cookie controls to block third-party cookies, or clear site data for
plcsimulationsoftware.com. - Install any standard content blocker (uBlock Origin, etc.) to stop GA4 from loading. Everything on the product still works.
- You can also opt out of GA4 with Google’s browser add-on.
Blocking the strictly-necessary cookies will break log in.
