Cookie Policy

Last updated October 6, 2026

CarbonLite Systems LLC keeps small pieces of information in your browser, called cookies and browser storage. This page lists all of them and why each is there.

Your choice

The first time you visit, a bar at the bottom of the page asks you to accept or decline cookies. We remember your answer in a cookie called clbs_cookie-pref, and, if you sign in, on your account, with the time and the version of this policy you saw. For now we only record your answer. It does not change what the site shows or does.

Essential

The site does not work without these: signing in, security checks, and remembering your cookie choice.

  • Sign-in session (cookie). Keeps you signed in on this computer. Kept: until you sign out or the session ends. Stored as app_session_id.
  • Visitor session (cookie). Tells one visitor from another before sign-in, for security and abuse limits. Kept: until the session ends. Stored as visitor_session_id.
  • Your cookie choice (cookie). Remembers whether you accepted or declined cookies. Kept: 1 year. Stored as clbs_cookie-pref.
  • Sign-in tokens (session storage). Amazon Cognito proves who you are to the site. A second copy of the tokens lives in local storage so a new tab stays signed in. Kept: until you sign out. Stored as carbonlite_cognito_access_token, CognitoIdentityServiceProvider.*.
  • Sign-in refresh marker (session storage). Stops the sign-in page from reloading in a loop. Kept: until you close the tab. Stored as carbonlite:login-auth-refresh.
  • Cloudflare security check (session storage). Remembers that the not-a-robot check passed, so you are not asked again on every page. Cloudflare may also set its own security cookies. Kept: until you close the tab. Stored as carbonlite_portal_turnstile_ok, carbonlite_portal_turnstile_token, carbonlite_register_turnstile_ok_v1:*, carbonlite_register_turnstile_token_v1:*, carbonlite_public_property_turnstile_v1:*.
  • Registration draft (local storage). Keeps what you typed on the registration form if you leave and come back. Kept: until registration finishes. Stored as carbonlite-signup-draft:*.
  • Where you came from (session storage). Remembers which page or link brought you to registration. Kept: until you close the tab. Stored as carbonlite_registration_origin.

Functional

Small conveniences, such as remembering which panels you left open. The site works without them.

  • Licensing wizard progress (local storage). Remembers which licensing step you were on and what you typed, so you can come back to it. Kept: until licensing is complete. Stored as carbonlite.licensing.step.*, carbonlite.licensing.draft.*.
  • Panel and sidebar layout (local storage). Remembers whether the sidebar is collapsed and which panels you left open. Kept: until you clear your browser data. Stored as carbonlite-portal-sidebar-collapsed, carbonlite-contractor-dashboard-panels, carbonlite-contractor-project-open-panels-v2, carbonlite-photos-documents-panels, carbonlite-property-list-panel, carbonlite-property-view-open-panels, carbonlite-overview-hidden-panels, carbonlite-realtor-portfolio-rail, manufacturer-right-sidebar, supply-house-right-sidebar, owner-claim-sidebar-collapsed, pace-project-sidebar-collapsed, pace-wizard-panel-collapsed, photos-documents-sidebar-collapsed, request-wizard-panel-collapsed.
  • Last property picked (local storage). Remembers the last property you picked on Photos and documents. Kept: until you clear your browser data. Stored as carbonlite-photos-documents-property.
  • Where you were in an energy assessment (session storage). Keeps the first step of an energy assessment if the page reloads. Kept: until you close the tab. Stored as carbonlite-systems-energy-assessment-step1.
  • Proposal request just sent (session storage). Keeps the confirmation that a proposal request was sent if the page reloads, so the form does not come back empty. Kept: until you close the tab, or you open the conversation or press done. Stored as cls-proposal-sent:*.
  • Hidden open questions (session storage). Remembers that you put off the open questions on a PACE project. Kept: until you close the tab. Stored as pace-open-questions-hidden:*.

Analytics

Counts of visits and pages, so we can see what is used. Only when analytics is switched on for the site.

  • Google Analytics (cookie). Counts visits and pages. Kept: up to 2 years. Stored as _ga, _ga_*. Only used when analytics is switched on for the site.

Marketing

We do not use advertising or marketing cookies.
