Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2, 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.
Ciripi also uses your browser's localStorage and IndexedDB for local caching. These are not cookies in the traditional sense, but they serve a similar purpose and are covered by this policy.
2. Cookies we use
- sb-auth-token
Set by Supabase to keep you logged in across sessions. Expires when you log out or after 7 days of inactivity. Without this cookie the service cannot function.
- cookie_consent
Stores your cookie preference ("essential" or "all") so we don't show the consent banner on every visit. Stored in localStorage, no expiry.
- Feed cache
Recently fetched posts, groups, and profile data are stored in localStorage to speed up page loads and enable basic offline viewing. This data never leaves your device and is cleared when you log out.
- UI preferences
Settings such as your chosen colour theme and notification preferences are persisted locally so they survive a page refresh.
3. What we do NOT use cookies for
- Advertising or retargeting — we serve no ads.
- Cross-site tracking — we have no third-party tracking pixels.
- Selling data to third parties — we never do this.
- Profiling your behaviour for commercial purposes.
4. Third-party storage
Ciripi embeds no third-party advertising or social widgets. The only external service that may set a cookie is Supabase, our authentication and database provider, which sets the session token described in section 2. Supabase's data processing is GDPR-compliant and carried out in EU data centres.
5. Managing your preferences
5.1 Consent banner
On your first visit a banner gives you the option of Essential only or Accept all. Your choice is saved and the banner will not reappear.
5.2 Browser settings
You can delete or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that blocking the authentication cookie will prevent you from staying logged in. Common browser cookie settings:
- Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Cookies and other site data
- Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Settings › Privacy › Manage Website Data
- Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions
5.3 Clearing local data
Logging out of Ciripi clears all locally cached feed data from your browser. You can also clear site data manually via your browser's developer tools (Application › Storage › Clear site data).
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we change how we use cookies. When we do we update the "Last updated" date at the top. For material changes we will notify users via email or an in-app notice.
