Cookie Policy
Alpha release · Last updated: 2026-10-12
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and keep you signed in. We use cookies sparingly and only for the purposes described below.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential cookies and browser storage (always on), then optional analytics cookies (only if you allow them):
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Supabase session: keeps you signed in | Session / 7 days |
| theme | Light/dark theme preference | 1 year |
| hai-consent | Your cookie choice, stored in your browser (local storage) so we do not ask again. Strictly necessary. | Until you clear site data. If you reject, we do not ask again for 180 days. |
| _ga | Google Analytics 4: distinguishes users, for aggregate, anonymous usage analytics. Set only after you allow analytics. | 2 years (per Google's documentation, not measured by us) |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics 4: persists session state. Set only after you allow analytics. | 2 years (per Google's documentation, not measured by us) |
Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 only if you allow it. Analytics is off until you choose "Allow all" or switch on Analytics in "Customize". Scrolling, browsing or closing the banner never counts as agreement. Until you agree, the Google Analytics script is not loaded and no analytics cookies are set. After you agree, Google Analytics sets the cookies listed above to measure aggregate, anonymous site usage, such as which pages are visited. We have switched off Google's advertising features (Google signals and ad personalization) for this site.
Your choice is stored in your browser under hai-consent. To withdraw consent, use "Cookie settings" in the footer to change your choice, or clear this site's data in your browser. Clearing site data also removes the Google Analytics cookies.
3. What We Do NOT Use
- No third-party advertising or retargeting cookies
- No cross-site tracking pixels (Meta, Google Ads, LinkedIn Insight)
- No session-replay tools (FullStory, LogRocket, Hotjar) on customer-facing surfaces
4. Managing Cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Note that blocking essential cookies (the auth, theme and consent-choice cookies) will prevent you from staying signed in and may degrade the user experience.
5. Changes
We may update this policy as we add new product surfaces. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
