This guide explains the Cookie Policy in plainer language. It is not the binding legal policy. If this guide and the Cookie Policy ever say different things, the Cookie Policy controls.

Cookie Policy Guide

Binding policy: binding Cookie Policy

The Short Version

Axiom Charts uses cookies and browser storage so the site can remember basic state while you use it.

Some of that storage is necessary when you ask the site to do something. It may help keep you signed in, keep a cart together, bring you back from checkout, update a subscription, run security checks, or support a billing action.

Some tools are optional. They may support chat, analytics, or affiliate referral tracking. Where applicable law requires consent, Axiom seeks consent before enabling non-essential support, analytics, or marketing tools.

So the simple version is this: not all storage is optional, and blocking necessary storage is not harmless. If necessary storage is blocked or deleted, parts of the service may not work correctly.

What Cookies And Browser Storage Mean Here

In this guide, "cookies and browser storage" means more than small cookie files.

It can include cookies, local storage, session storage, pixels, SDK state, and similar browser-access technologies. These are ways the site or a connected tool can remember a small piece of state in your browser or device.

If you add something to your cart, for example, browser storage may help keep that cart state while you move through the site.

The binding Cookie Policy is still the legal source.

What The Site May Need To Work

Some browser technologies are necessary where needed to deliver services you request.

That can include:

• Supabase authentication or session cookies for account access.

• Local cart storage, so your cart can keep its state in your browser.

• Checkout return state, so the site can connect your return from a checkout step.

• Subscription update continuity state.

• Cloudflare Turnstile checks for abuse prevention on protected workflows.

• Paddle-related billing or checkout state for an actively requested purchase or billing action.

These are not optional marketing or analytics tools. They support requested services.

If you block or delete necessary storage, Axiom cannot promise that login, cart, checkout, account, or secure billing flows will keep working correctly.

What Is Optional

The Cookie Policy keeps optional tools separate from necessary ones.

Optional functionality tools may include Featurebase support chat, messenger, changelog, or help-center interactions when you choose to enable support tools.

Optional analytics may include Vercel Analytics for traffic and product measurement after analytics consent is granted.

Optional marketing may include Affonso affiliate attribution after marketing consent.

Turning off optional categories does not prevent account security, cart continuity, purchases, or product access from working. It can disable support chat, affiliate attribution, or analytics.

That does not make optional tools secretly required. It also does not mean turning them off removes every piece of data a third-party provider may already handle under its own policy.

How Affiliate Links Work Before And After Consent

Affiliate referral links have a middle step that is easy to misunderstand, so it deserves plain language.

Before marketing consent, Affonso may detect referral parameters and keep an affonso_id value in same-site URLs. That helps preserve referral continuity while you move through the site.

The Cookie Policy treats URL continuity differently from marketing-cookie attribution. Before marketing consent, the policy says this happens without setting the affonso_referral marketing cookie or sending personal data for lead tracking.

After marketing consent, Affonso may use the affonso_referral cookie and related attribution tooling.

This does not mean there is no referral handling before consent. It also does not mean Axiom promises attribution will always work after consent.

What Happens If You Block Or Delete Storage

You can use browser or device settings to block or delete cookies and related browser storage. That can be useful. It can also remove storage the site needs.

Blocking or deleting essential cookies or storage may prevent parts of the service from working correctly. That can include login persistence, checkout continuity, account-related features, or secure billing flows.

Clearing local storage can also remove certain client-side state, such as saved cart contents.

Optional categories are different. If optional support, analytics, or marketing tools are off, product access and purchases do not depend on those optional tools. Support chat, affiliate attribution, or analytics may not run.

How To Change Your Choices

You can manage cookies and browser storage through your browser or device settings. Those settings may let you block or delete stored data.

You can also reopen the Cookie settings control in the site footer. That control lets you change optional categories.

The Cookie settings control is not a master switch for all necessary storage. Necessary storage may still be used where needed for requested services.

Browser or device settings can go deeper, but they can also break useful site state. They also may not control every action already handled by a third-party provider under that provider's own policy.

Where Privacy Rights And Provider Policies Live

This guide is about cookies and browser storage. It does not replace the Privacy Policy, and it does not list privacy rights as if this page were the legal source for them.

Privacy rights and account data rules live in the Privacy Policy.

Some site technologies may be set or controlled by third-party providers. These can include payment, support, affiliate attribution, analytics, hosting, authentication, and security providers.

Cloudflare Turnstile is used in managed mode for bot-protection checks on protected forms and account, support, or checkout workflows. Cloudflare's Turnstile-specific privacy addendum is available in its Turnstile privacy policy.

Providers may have their own policies for how they use cookies or similar technologies in connection with their services. This guide does not control those provider policies.

Questions And Policy Changes

Axiom may update the Cookie Policy as technologies, providers, product features, or legal requirements change.

Questions about the Cookie Policy can be sent through contact support.

That contact path does not mean this guide gives legal advice. It also does not promise a specific support outcome.
