Cookie Policy

1. Purpose: This Cookie Policy explains which cookies, local-storage entries, and similar technologies HiddenTicks uses on the website and in the web application, and how you can manage your preferences.

2. Strictly necessary technologies: HiddenTicks uses essential cookies or similar storage mechanisms for login sessions, authentication, security, CSRF protection, consent management, and core UI states. These technologies cannot be disabled through the consent banner because they are required to operate the service.

3. Preference technologies: Convenience settings such as reduced prompts, dismissal states, or interface preferences may be stored locally where legally permitted or where you have provided consent.

4. Analytics and marketing technologies: Analytics, tracking, or marketing technologies are only used where valid consent has been obtained. Before any new tools are enabled, their purpose, provider, retention period, and legal basis must be documented in this policy.

5. Systems used: HiddenTicks uses Supabase for authentication and session handling. Payment-related redirects and portals may be provided through Stripe. Browser-side states such as consent or dismissal decisions may also be stored locally in your browser.

6. Managing your choices: You can reopen and change your decision at any time using the cookie preferences link in the footer. Any withdrawal applies only for the future.

7. Contact: If you have questions about cookies or similar technologies, please contact legal@hiddenticks.com.
