1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and analyze platform performance.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our platform into three groups:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies:
Essential for the core operation of the platform. They handle session security, user authentication (keeping you logged in via Google/Apple or session tokens), and access to your account. You cannot disable these cookies, as the platform cannot function without them.
- Functional & Preference Cookies:
Remember choices you make (such as UI theme settings or language preferences) to provide a smoother, personalized experience.
- Analytics & Performance Cookies:
Collect aggregated, anonymous information about how visitors navigate the site (such as pages visited, bounce rates, and traffic sources). This helps us diagnose bugs, optimize load times, and improve usability.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services integrated into our site may set their own cookies on your device:
- Authentication: [Google OAuth / Supabase / NextAuth] to verify identity and maintain secure sessions.
- Payments & Fraud Prevention: [Stripe / Lemon Squeezy] to detect payment fraud and process transactions securely.
- Security & Bot Protection: [Cloudflare Turnstile] to distinguish human traffic from automated bots and scripts.
- Analytics: [PostHog / Plausible / Google Analytics] to measure web usage anonymously.
We do not sell your personal data or provide tracking data to third-party advertising brokers.
4. How to Manage and Disable Cookies
You have the right to control how cookies are stored on your device:
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies across all or specific sites. You can adjust these settings directly in your browser preferences (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).
- Impact of Disabling: If you choose to block strictly necessary cookies, key features of the platform—including logging in, uploading photos, and accessing your account features—will not work properly.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our operational practices or legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted here with an updated revision date.
