Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or phone). They are widely used to make sites work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. We also refer to “similar technologies”, which include local storage (e.g. in your browser) used to store data such as your cookie consent choice or session information.

2. How we use cookies

We and third parties, such as our advertising partners and service providers, use cookies and similar technologies to provide our services, help personalise content, and (where you have accepted non-essential cookies) measure ads and analyse usage. By clicking “Accept cookies” in our cookie banner, you agree to this as outlined in this Cookie Policy.

3. Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies: These are necessary for the website and app to function. They include authentication and session cookies (e.g. from Supabase) so you can log in and stay signed in, and security-related cookies. You cannot turn these off if you want to use the service.

Preference and consent: We use local storage to remember your cookie consent choice (e.g. “accepted” or “declined”) so we do not show the banner again and so we know whether to set optional cookies.

Optional (analytics and advertising): If you accept cookies, we or our partners may use cookies and similar technologies to analyse how the site is used, improve our product, and deliver or measure advertising. These are only set after you click “Accept cookies”.

Cookie names, exact purposes, and duration may change as we update our services or providers; we will keep this policy updated where material changes occur.

4. Third-party cookies

Our authentication and backend provider (Supabase) may set cookies or use similar technologies to manage sessions and security. When you use our checkout to subscribe or make a purchase, our payment provider Lemon Squeezy may set cookies or similar technologies on their checkout pages to process your payment and comply with their services; their use is described in Lemon Squeezy’s Privacy Policy. Where you have accepted non-essential cookies, our analytics or advertising partners may also set their own cookies. We do not control those third-party cookies; their use is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies.

5. Managing your preferences

When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie banner. You can click “Accept cookies” to allow non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics and advertising) or “Decline” to refuse them. Your choice is stored in your browser (local storage) and we will not show the banner again until that preference is cleared. You can change your mind by clearing your browser’s local storage and cookies for our site, then revisiting the site to make a new choice. You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies generally; note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features (such as staying logged in).
