Cookie Policy
Last updated September 30, 2026
A cookie is a small text file a website saves in your browser so it can recognize the same browser on the next page or the next visit. This page lists every cookie and piece of browser storage startautomate.ai uses, the company behind each one, and how to turn off the ones you don't want.
Cookies you can refuse
Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity are optional, and in the UK and the EU they stay switched off until you press Accept on the cookie banner. If you press Reject, the site still works exactly the same, and we simply don't count or record your visit.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Gives your browser a random ID so two visits from you aren't counted as two people | 2 years |
| _ga_2B677NPT60 | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the visit you are on right now | 2 years |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Remembers the random ID Clarity gave your browser | 1 year |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Joins the pages you open into one recording of the visit | 1 day |
| CLID | Microsoft Clarity | Recognizes your browser the first time Clarity sees it | 1 year |
| MUID | Microsoft | Microsoft's own browser ID, used across Microsoft websites | 1 year |
| ANONCHK, SM | Microsoft | Checks that the MUID cookie was set correctly | Up to the end of the visit |
Chat window storage
The tawk.to chat window in the corner of each page saves a few entries in your browser so it can keep a conversation open when you move to another page, and show you your earlier messages if you come back. It doesn't track you across other websites, and you can clear it by deleting this site's data in your browser settings.
| Name | Set by | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| TawkConnectionTime | tawk.to | Keeps the chat connected when you change page | Until you close the browser |
| twk_idm_key | tawk.to | Stops the same chat opening twice in two tabs | Until you close the browser |
| twk_uuid_* | tawk.to | Links you to your earlier chat conversation | 6 months |
| twk_*, twk_token_* (browser storage) | tawk.to | Holds the chat window's settings and your current session | Until you clear the site's data |
Advertising cookies
We don't use advertising or retargeting cookies on this website. If we start measuring our Google Ads campaigns with cookies, we will add them to this page and to the banner, and they will only run after you accept them.
Changing your cookie choice
The Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page opens the banner again, so you can switch analytics on or off whenever you like, and the change applies from the next page you open.
Blocking cookies in your browser
Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all let you block or delete cookies from their privacy settings, and the help pages for each browser explain how. Blocking every cookie won't stop this site from working, but the chat window will forget your conversation each time you change page.

Our Privacy Policy at startautomate.ai/privacy-policy explains what these companies do with the information they collect, how long it is kept, and how to ask us for a copy of it or have it deleted.
