This Cookie Policy explains how FootPulse (https://footpulse.news) uses cookies and similar technologies. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help a site work, remember preferences, and understand usage. We also use similar technologies such as local storage.
2. How we use cookies
- Strictly necessary (always on) — required for the Service to function, e.g. to keep you signed in and secure your session.
- Preferences — remember choices such as your language and theme.
- Analytics (consent-based) — aggregate usage to improve the Service; where required, set only after you consent, and you can withdraw consent anytime.
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell your data.
3. Cookies we use
| Cookie / technology | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supabase auth session | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in; secures your session | Session / up to ~1 week |
| Locale & theme | Preferences | Remembers language and display settings | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics ([Plausible/Umami]) | Analytics (consent) | Aggregate, privacy-friendly usage stats | Per provider; typically ≤ 12 months |
(Confirm exact names and durations once the analytics provider is finalized.)
4. Managing your choices
- Cookie banner — accept or decline non-essential (analytics) cookies; change your choice later.
- Browser settings — block or delete cookies (blocking strictly necessary cookies may break sign-in).
- Consent signals — we honor applicable signals where required by law.
5. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by our processors (e.g. Supabase for authentication, our analytics provider). See our Privacy Policy for the list of processors.
