1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Cove ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at joincove.io and our application at app.joincove.io (the "Service"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which function in comparable ways.
3. Cookies We Use
We currently use only strictly necessary cookies that are essential for the Service to function. We do not use any analytics, advertising, marketing, or tracking cookies.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Service. They cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under the EU ePrivacy Directive.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration | |---|---|---|---|---| | sb-*-auth-token | Supabase | Authentication session management. Stores encrypted JWT tokens to keep you logged in | HTTP (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax) | Session / 1 year (refresh token) | | cove_mfa_trusted | Cove | Trusted device token for multi-factor authentication. Allows you to skip MFA on recognized devices | HTTP (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax) | 24 hours or 90 days (user preference) | | NEXT_LOCALE | Next.js | Stores your preferred language/locale setting | HTTP | 1 year |
3.2 Cookies We Do Not Use
For transparency, we want to confirm that we do not use:
- Google Analytics or any analytics cookies
- Facebook Pixel or any advertising cookies
- Any third-party tracking or remarketing cookies
- Any cookies for behavioral profiling or targeted advertising
- Any social media cookies (like buttons, share widgets)
4. Third-Party Cookies
The Service does not set any third-party cookies. However, when you use features that connect to third-party services (e.g., Google OAuth login, email integration), those services may set their own cookies on their domains during the authentication process. Those cookies are governed by the respective third party's cookie policy:
- Google: policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
- Microsoft: privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement
5. Managing Cookies
Since we only use strictly necessary cookies, disabling them would prevent the Service from functioning properly (you would not be able to log in or maintain a session).
You can manage cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Privacy, Search and Services > Cookies
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using the Service.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Since we do not track users across websites or use any tracking cookies, we do not need to respond to DNT signals, as our practices already align with the intent of DNT.
7. Future Changes
If we introduce any non-essential cookies in the future (such as analytics or preference cookies), we will:
- Update this Cookie Policy before deploying them
- Implement a cookie consent mechanism that complies with the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR
- Request your consent before setting any non-essential cookies
- Allow you to manage your cookie preferences with granular control
- Ensure "Reject all" is as accessible as "Accept all"
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the effective date. If we introduce non-essential cookies, we will provide advance notice as described in Section 7.
