1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — for example, that you are logged in — so you do not have to re-enter it each time.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage for the same purposes.
2. Cookies We Use
We group our cookies into three categories:
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off. They include:
- Authentication session — keeps you logged in between page loads (set by Supabase).
- Cookie consent preference — stores your cookie choice so we do not show the banner on every visit.
- CSRF tokens — protect form submissions against cross-site request forgery.
Functional cookies
These cookies remember your preferences to improve your experience. They are only set with your consent.
- Language / locale — stores your preferred language setting.
- UI preferences — e.g. scroll position or expanded sections.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the Platform so we can improve it. They are only set with your consent.
- Page views, navigation paths, and feature usage — collected in aggregated, anonymised form where possible.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services we embed may set their own cookies. We have no control over these cookies; please refer to those providers' own policies:
- Supabase — authentication infrastructure.
- Vercel — hosting and performance optimisation.
- Stripe (if applicable) — payment processing.
4. Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit the Platform, a cookie consent banner gives you the choice to accept all cookies or essential cookies only. You can change your choice at any time:
- Click the "Cookie settings" link in the footer to re-open the banner.
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies — note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from staying logged in.
Most browsers also provide a "Do Not Track" signal; we honour this by not setting analytics cookies when it is detected.
5. Cookie Retention
Essential session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies (such as your consent preference) are stored for up to 12 months, after which you will be asked again.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when we add or change the cookies we use. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes.
