1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, or session state) so you don’t have to re-enter them on each visit. Similar technologies include local storage and pixel/beacon tags.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
- Strictly Necessary — required for the site to function: authentication, session, security, load balancing. These cannot be disabled.
- Functional — remember preferences (theme, language, region, dismissed notifications) to improve your experience.
- Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We use aggregated, de-identified data where possible. Off by default; requires your consent.
- Advertising — used to measure campaign performance or show relevant messages. Off by default; requires your consent.
- Social Media — enable embedded social content and sharing features from third-party platforms. Off by default; requires your consent.
3. Specific Cookies Set by CoreSpark
- Supabase authentication / session cookies (strictly necessary) — keep you signed in.
- Sign-up flow cookies — temporary cookies used during email verification.
- Theme preference (functional) — remembers light/dark mode.
- Captcha challenge tokens (strictly necessary) — used during sign-up to prevent abuse.
4. Third-Party Cookies & Services
Some features rely on third parties that may set their own cookies:
- Supabase — authentication and database access.
- Stripe — payments, Stripe Connect onboarding, and fraud detection.
- hCaptcha — anti-abuse challenge during sign-up.
- Social Media Platforms — if you enable social features (e.g., embedded content, share buttons), platforms like YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook may set cookies. You control whether these are enabled via your consent preferences.
Each third party is responsible for its own cookies and privacy practices. Please review their policies for full details.
5. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
