Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website operators. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting). This Cookie Policy explains how JKMK Ventures LLC (“DistroTeam,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you access or use our platform at distroteam.com and all associated subdomains, including distributor sites hosted on our platform (collectively, the “Service”).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to authenticate users, remember preferences, analyze traffic patterns, process payments securely, and improve the overall performance and reliability of the Service. Our cookies fall into four categories:
Essential Cookies — Required for the Service to function. Cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
Functional Cookies — Remember your choices and personalize your experience.
Analytics Cookies — Help us understand how the Service is used so we can improve it.
Third-Party Cookies — Set by our service partners to enable payment processing, hosting analytics, and error monitoring.
3. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the Service. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, and security protections. Without these cookies, the Service cannot function properly. Essential cookies we use include:
Supabase Authentication Cookies — We use Supabase as our authentication provider. When you sign in, Supabase sets secure, HTTP-only cookies to maintain your authenticated session. These cookies contain encrypted session tokens and are essential for keeping you logged in as you navigate between pages.
Session Management — Session cookies identify your active session and ensure that requests to our servers are properly associated with your account. These cookies expire when you close your browser or after a defined inactivity period.
CSRF Protection — Cross-Site Request Forgery tokens are used to verify that form submissions and API requests originate from our application, preventing unauthorized actions on your behalf.
4. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Service to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies are not strictly necessary but improve your experience. Examples include:
Theme Preferences — If you switch between light and dark mode, we store your preference so it persists across sessions.
Language and Locale — We may store your preferred language or regional settings to deliver content in the appropriate format.
User Interface Settings — Preferences such as sidebar collapsed state, dashboard layout choices, editor wizard progress, and notification preferences are stored locally to provide a consistent experience each time you return.
5. Analytics Cookies
We use analytics technologies to understand how the Service is used, identify errors, and improve performance. We do not use analytics cookies for advertising purposes.
Sentry — We use Sentry for real-time error tracking and performance monitoring. When an error occurs in the Service, Sentry collects diagnostic information including the error message, stack trace, browser type, operating system, and a session replay context to help us identify and fix issues. Sentry does not track you across other websites and does not use your data for advertising. For more information, see Sentry's Privacy Policy.
Usage Analytics — We collect aggregated, anonymized usage data to understand feature adoption and user flows. This helps us prioritize improvements and identify areas where users encounter difficulty. This data is not linked to your personal identity and cannot be used to identify individual users.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Certain third-party services that we integrate with may set their own cookies when you interact with the Service. We do not control these cookies. The third-party services we use include:
Stripe — Our payment processor, Stripe, sets cookies to process transactions securely, detect fraud, and comply with financial regulations. When you enter payment information or manage your subscription, Stripe cookies facilitate secure communication with their payment infrastructure. For more information, see Stripe's Privacy Policy.
Vercel — Our hosting provider, Vercel, may set cookies related to performance analytics, edge caching, and request routing. These cookies help ensure fast page loads and reliable service delivery. For more information, see Vercel's Privacy Policy.
7. Cookie Duration
Cookies used by the Service vary in how long they persist on your device:
Session Cookies — These cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Examples include CSRF tokens and temporary authentication state during login flows.
Persistent Cookies — These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. Examples include:
• Authentication refresh tokens — up to 30 days, allowing you to stay logged in across browser sessions.
• Theme and UI preferences — up to 1 year, so your display settings persist.
• Stripe fraud detection cookies — duration set by Stripe, typically up to 1 year.
• Sentry session identifiers — up to 24 hours, for grouping related errors within a single session.
8. Managing Your Cookies
You have control over the cookies stored on your device. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
• View what cookies are currently stored and delete them individually or in bulk.
• Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
• Configure exceptions for specific websites.
• Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.
Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies will impair the functionality of the Service. You may be unable to sign in, and certain features may not work correctly.

• Apple Safari

9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how companies should respond to DNT signals. At this time, DistroTeam does not respond to DNT signals. However, we do not engage in cross-site tracking or sell your personal information to third parties for advertising purposes. If an industry standard for DNT compliance is established, we will revisit this position and update this policy accordingly.
10. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via email or a prominent notice within the Service. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Your continued use of the Service after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Cookie Policy.
