Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the platform. Dialectorabia uses both first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by our service providers).

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Required for the platform to function. These include your authentication session token (so you stay logged in), CSRF protection tokens, and language preference. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using the Service.

Examples: sb-access-token, sb-refresh-token

Functional Cookies

Remember your dialect preference, plan tier, and daily usage count so the app works correctly across sessions. Stored in localStorage and sessionStorage.

Examples: selectedDialect, dailyUsage

Analytics Cookies

Help us understand how users interact with the platform — which features are most used, where users drop off, and how to improve the experience. Data is anonymised and aggregated.

Provider: Vercel Analytics

Payment Cookies

Set by our payment partners during the checkout process to handle secure payment sessions. These cookies are temporary and expire when you close the checkout window.

Provider: Paddle / Lemon Squeezy

3. How Long Do Cookies Last?

  • Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser.
  • Authentication cookies — expire after 7 days of inactivity.
  • Preference cookies — stored for up to 1 year.
  • Analytics cookies — up to 2 years, anonymised.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:

  • View what cookies are stored.
  • Delete individual or all cookies.
  • Block third-party cookies.
  • Set notifications when cookies are placed.

Note: Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using core features.

Our third-party providers have their own cookie policies:

  • Supabase — authentication & database
