2. Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies: Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for the Service to function. They include authentication tokens (managed by Supabase) that keep you logged in, and session cookies that maintain your preferences during a visit. These cookies cannot be disabled. Functional cookies: These remember your choices (such as language preference, currency selection, and UI settings like sidebar state) to provide a more personalized experience. Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how the Service is used, including page views, feature usage, and session duration. Google Analytics cookies are only activated after you accept cookies via our consent banner. You can opt out at any time by clicking "Necessary only" or managing your browser settings. Advertising cookies: We use Google Ads conversion tracking to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are also subject to your consent and are only activated if you accept cookies.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Google (analytics and advertising) sets cookies to collect usage data and measure ad conversions. These cookies are governed by Google's privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy). They are only activated after you provide consent via our cookie banner. Stripe (payment processing) may set cookies when you interact with the checkout flow to prevent fraud and process payments securely. These cookies are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.

4. Cookie Duration

- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser. - Authentication cookies: persist for up to 7 days (or until you sign out). - Preference cookies: persist for up to 12 months. - Analytics identifiers: persist for up to 90 days.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using the Service.

6. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to store non-sensitive UI preferences (such as sidebar collapse state, selected dashboard tab, and display preferences). This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
