Cookie Policy
Last Updated: February 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how PodTrade uses cookies and similar technologies. We believe in being transparent about our data practices, and the short version is: we use the bare minimum.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They are commonly used to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and enable platform functionality.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Authentication Cookies
We use essential cookies managed by Supabase for authentication. These cookies store your encrypted session token so you can stay signed in between visits. Without these cookies, you would need to sign in every time you visit PodTrade.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Session authentication | Session / 7 days | Essential |
What We Do NOT Use
- No third-party tracking cookies
- No advertising or marketing cookies
- No analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
- No social media tracking pixels
- No fingerprinting or cross-site tracking
3. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser localStorage to persist UI preferences on your device. This data is never sent to our servers. Examples include:
- Dismissed banners and onboarding states
- Learning progress and streak data
- Notification preferences
- UI layout preferences
You can clear localStorage at any time through your browser settings (Developer Tools → Application → Local Storage).
4. How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete existing cookies
