Cookie Policy
Last updated 26 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Outlay uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and use our application. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies for the following essential purposes:
- Authentication & Security. We use a
session_tokencookie to verify your account and determine when you're logged in so we can make it easier for you to access your workspace securely without having to sign in every time. - State & Context. We use an
act_contextcookie to remember which workspace you are currently operating in (for example, if you manage both a Personal and a Business ledger). This ensures you see the correct expenses and team members when navigating between pages.
Do we use tracking or advertising cookies?
No. We do not use any third-party tracking, advertising, or marketing cookies. The cookies we set are strictly necessary for the technical operation of our application.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our public website, but you will not be able to log in or use the Outlay application, as cookies are required to maintain your secure session.
