Does convex set cookies or anything else that may require some information to be shared in a privacy policy/user-agreement?

hey @zid . Good question.
*.convex.cloud does not and will not ever set cookies in this manner. we don't track your users for marketing purposes or anything. we're a hosting provider and we monetize by giving you (the developer) a service you love, not by some sort of advertising data channel based on your users. just to answer that part of the question unambiguously
however to be helpful here, a broader answer about our role and what it might mean for your project/site/business
we're a "subprocessor" just like AWS is a subprocessor
so within your terms of service, there is typically a "subprocessor" section, and then you're expected to list your subprocessors
and then as part of e.g. compliance, you'll want to make sure your subprocessors are compliant. (which is part of why it's important Convex get its SOC 2 soon, to make your job easier)an example of Slack's subprocessor list: https://slack.com/slack-subprocessors

Information on the location, role, and identity of any subprocessors (e.g. AWS) Slack may use for infrastructure support or delivery of services.
Ah, thank you Jamie, very helpful!
