1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit websites. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies serve various purposes, such as:

  • Remembering your login status so you don't have to sign in every time
  • Storing your preferences and settings
  • Understanding how you use our website to improve our services
  • Providing security features to protect your account

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are required for basic website functionality and cannot be disabled. Without them, you would not be able to log in or use core features.

3. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other technologies to store and access information on your device:

3.1 Local Storage

Stores data in your browser for app functionality. Used for:

  • Chart form data (temporary, for guest chart generation)
  • Dashboard preferences
  • Draft content in community features

3.2 Session Storage

Temporary storage cleared when you close the browser. Used for:

  • Temporary authentication state
  • Page navigation history within session
  • Form field values during multi-step processes

3.3 Web Beacons

Small images that help track engagement. Used for:

  • Email open tracking (for newsletters)
  • Page load confirmations

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may set their own cookies:

4.1 Analytics (Umami & Google Analytics)

We use two analytics tools. Umami is a privacy-friendly, self-hosted platform that does not use cookies for tracking by default and keeps all data on our own servers. We also use Google Analytics 4, which sets its own cookies (such as _ga) and shares aggregated usage data with Google to help us understand and improve the site. We do not use analytics for advertising, and we honor Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals — if your browser sends either, Google Analytics is not loaded.

4.2 Supabase

Our authentication and database run on Supabase, which we self-host on our own infrastructure. It may set first-party cookies for session management and security. Because it is self-hosted, your data is not shared with a separate third-party Supabase service.

4.3 Payment Processors

When you make payments, our payment processors may use cookies for fraud prevention and security purposes:

  • Whop: Subscription and checkout processing
  • Apple App Store: In-app purchase processing on iOS
  • Google Play: In-app purchase processing on Android

4.4 Future Changes

If we add new third-party services that use cookies, this policy will be updated before any such implementation, and you will have the ability to opt out of non-essential cookies.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Here's how to access cookie settings in popular browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

5.2 Analytics Opt-Out

Our self-hosted analytics (Umami) is privacy-friendly and does not track individuals across sites. For Google Analytics, we honor your browser's "Do Not Track" and Global Privacy Control signals — when either is set, Google Analytics is not loaded. You can also opt out using Google's browser add-on or by blocking analytics scripts with a browser extension.

5.3 Do Not Track

We honor "Do Not Track" (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals. When we detect either signal, we do not load Google Analytics or other non-essential tracking.

5.4 Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience:

  • Essential cookies: Disabling these will prevent you from logging in and using core features
  • Functional cookies: Your preferences won't be remembered between visits
  • Analytics cookies: We won't be able to improve the website based on usage patterns
