Cookie notice
This is a calculator, not an adviser. Read the full disclaimer.
Overview and Core Principles
Resonate Invoicing ("Resonate") is operated by <span class="pending-operator" title="Legal entity registration is pending">pending registration</span> (which displays as "pending registration" because our legal entity registration is currently pending). We provide invoicing software for film and AV crew operating in beta.
Our approach to cookies and tracking is minimal:
- We set no advertising cookies.
- We set no analytics or telemetry cookies.
- We set no attribution or affiliate tracking cookies.
- We load no third-party tracking scripts, tracking pixels, or tag managers.
- We load no third-party fonts (we use system fonts instead of Google Fonts or external CDNs).
- We include no third-party embedded widgets or iframes.
We only store data in your browser when it is strictly necessary to provide our service securely, or to remember your local interface preference.
What We Store
The table below lists every cookie and browser storage item used by Resonate:
| Identifier | Type | Classification | Purpose | Expiration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session Token | Cookie (httpOnly, SameSite) | Strictly Necessary | Keeps you signed in to your account securely via our Authentik identity service. | Deleted when you sign out or when your session expires. |
| CSRF Token | Cookie (SameSite) | Strictly Necessary | Protects your session against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks by confirming form submissions originate from you. | Session duration. |
| Theme Preference | localStorage | Functional (Local Only) | Stores your display preference (such as light or dark interface mode). This value stays in your browser and is never sent to our servers. | Persists until you clear your browser storage. |
Why There Is No Cookie Banner
Under Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), consent banners are designed to give users a choice regarding non-essential tracking, profiling, and advertising technologies.
Resonate does not use any non-essential cookies, tracking technologies, or analytics. Because every cookie we set is strictly necessary for basic site security and authentication, no consent banner is displayed.
If we ever introduce non-essential cookies in a future release, we will update this Cookie Notice and implement an explicit consent banner before those cookies are deployed.
Verifying Our Practices in Your Browser
You do not have to take our word for it. You can inspect what our application runs directly using your browser's built-in developer tools:
- Press
F12(or right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect). - Go to the Application tab (or Storage tab in Firefox).
- Under Cookies for
resonatedemo.ca, you will only see our essential session and CSRF cookies. - Under Local Storage, you will only see your theme preference key.
- Go to the Network tab, check the "Disable cache" box, and refresh the page. You will see that every asset loads directly from our self-hosted infrastructure, with zero network calls to external font repositories, advertising servers, or analytics endpoints.
Managing and Blocking Cookies
You can restrict, block, or delete cookies at any time through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies or reject third-party cookies specifically.
Please note: while blocking third-party cookies will have no effect on Resonate (since we do not use them), blocking all first-party cookies will block our strictly necessary session cookie. If you block the session cookie, you will not be able to log in or use Resonate Invoicing.
