1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. Similar technologies (such as your browser’s local storage) work the same way. We use both terms loosely as “cookies” below. They let us keep you signed in, remember your choices, and understand how the product is used.
2. How we use them
We group cookies by purpose. Strictly necessary cookies are always on because the service cannot work without them. Everything else is optional and stays off until you choose to accept it in the banner.
3. Categories of cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Consent | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep you signed in, maintain your session, and protect the service from abuse. The site cannot function without these. | Always on (no consent required) | Supabase authentication / session cookies · [exact names — TBD] |
| Preferences | Remember choices you make, such as your consent selection itself. | Consent-based | fsp.consent.v1 (your cookie choice, stored locally) · [others — TBD] |
| Analytics (optional) | Help us understand how the product is used so we can improve it. Aggregated and never used for advertising. | Off until you Accept | [analytics provider — none enabled today; TBD] |
| Advertising / third-party tracking | We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. | Not used | None |
4. Your choices
When you first visit, a banner asks you to Accept or Decline optional cookies. Your choice is stored on your device (under fsp.consent.v1) and respected on future visits. If you decline, no non-essential cookies or scripts run.
To change your choice later, clear this site's data in your browser (or the fsp.consent.v1 entry) and the banner will appear again. You can also block or delete cookies entirely in your browser settings, though strictly necessary cookies are required to stay signed in.
5. Third parties
We keep third parties to a minimum. We use Supabase for authentication and hosting, which sets the session cookies needed to sign you in. We do not currently load advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If we add an optional analytics provider in future, it will be listed above and will run only with your consent.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookies Policy as the product evolves. If we make material changes — for example, adding a new category of optional cookies — we will update the effective date and re-request your consent where required.
