Cookie Policy
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE] Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]
This Cookie Policy explains how the Social application (the "Service") operated by [COMPANY NAME] ("[COMPANY SHORT]") uses cookies and similar technologies. It supplements the Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. "Similar technologies" include local storage, session storage, and tokens used to keep you signed in.
2. Cookies we use
The Service is designed to use the minimum cookies necessary to function. Update the table below to match your production build.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
social-token | Strictly necessary | Authentication — keeps you signed in (httpOnly, SameSite=Lax, Secure in production) | ~90 days |
social-demo | Strictly necessary | Admin-only demo/impersonation session | ~24 hours |
| *(consent preference)* | Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie/consent choices, if a banner is used | As configured |
If you later add analytics, error monitoring, or marketing tools (e.g., product analytics, Stripe's fraud-prevention scripts, or advertising pixels), list them here and classify them as functional, analytics, or marketing, and gate non-essential cookies behind consent where required (EEA/UK).
3. Why we use them
- Strictly necessary: authentication, security, and core functionality. These cannot
be switched off without breaking the Service.
- Functional (if added): remember preferences.
- Analytics (if added): understand usage to improve the Service.
- Marketing (if added): measure or deliver advertising. (Not currently used.)
4. Your choices
- Browser controls: you can block or delete cookies via your browser settings;
blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.
- Consent banner (EEA/UK): where required, we will obtain consent before setting
non-essential cookies and provide a way to change your choices.
5. Third-party processors
Some cookies or storage may be set by service providers (e.g., Stripe for payment fraud prevention during checkout). See data-processing-and-subprocessors.md.
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The "Last updated" date reflects the latest version.
