How Long Do Cookies Stay on My Device?

Cookies can remain on your device for varying periods:

  • Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser. They are typically used to maintain session information.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. The duration varies depending on the cookie's purpose and is set by us or third parties who place the cookie.

Your Cookie Choices

You have several options to control or limit how we and third parties use cookies:

Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can:

  • Delete cookies from your device

Please note that if you choose to block all cookies, you may not be able to access all or parts of our site, or certain functions may not work properly.

Our Cookie-Free Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, which is a privacy-friendly analytics service that doesn't use cookies and is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations. This means we can analyze website traffic without collecting any personal data or using cookies.

Plausible Analytics doesn't track users across devices, doesn't collect personal data, and doesn't use cookies. This allows us to respect your privacy while still understanding how our website is being used.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that allows you to tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how companies should respond to these signals, so we do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals. However, you can use your browser cookie settings to control tracking as described above.

Specific Technologies We Use

The specific technologies we use include:

  • Plausible Analytics: A privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics service that helps us understand website traffic without collecting personal data.
  • Stripe: Our payment processor uses cookies to help prevent fraud and improve the payment experience.
  • Cloudflare: Used for security purposes and to optimize website performance.
  • Supabase: Used for authentication and database access.
