What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites and apps. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and other techniques that store or access information on your device.
Cookies we use
Strictly necessary (no consent required)
We use the following essential cookies and local storage to operate the Service. These are exempt from consent requirements under S.I. No. 336/2011 because they are strictly necessary to provide the Service you have requested.
| Purpose | Technology | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication | Supabase authentication and session storage (which may include names beginning with sb-) | First-party cookie / localStorage | Session, refreshed on use, removed on logout |
| Security | CSRF and fraud prevention tokens | First-party cookie | Session |
| User preferences | Theme, language, UI settings | localStorage | Persistent until cleared by you |
| Requested creator invitation | sa_creator_invite | Secure first-party cookie | Up to 14 days; cleared after acceptance |
Analytics and tracking
We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, retargeting, session replay, or heatmaps. Creator account referrals are described below.
Creator account referrals
When the Creator Partner Program is enabled, the creator welcome lets you choose to add a referral when signing up or logging in. We do not set a referral cookie, use browser storage to remember anonymous referrals, or load FirstPromoter’s visitor-tracking script.
An explicitly requested, short-lived referral handoff travels through sign-in. We record the referral in our database only after your account is authenticated. Visitors who leave before signing in are not remembered for a later unrelated visit. You can continue without adding a referral and still sign up, practice and purchase. Account referrals and required financial records are described in our Privacy Policy.
If you join as a creator and open your earnings account, the FirstPromoter dashboard may use its own session storage or cookies to provide the financial account you requested. Its privacy notice applies to that dashboard.
We use PostHog for product analytics. PostHog is configured to operate without cookies and without local storage on your device (memory-only persistence). PostHog is hosted in the European Union (eu.i.posthog.com), respects Do Not Track, excludes IP addresses from the events it captures, and does not run session recording, heatmaps, or surveys. Because PostHog does not store information on your device, it falls outside the consent requirement under S.I. No. 336/2011.
Third-party cookies and requested financial accounts
When you open the Paddle checkout or billing portal to make a payment, manage your subscription, or request a refund, Paddle (our merchant of record) may set cookies on your device for payment processing, fraud detection, and session management. These cookies are set by Paddle, not by us, and are governed by Paddle's own privacy and cookie policies. Paddle cookies appear only when you interact with the Paddle checkout or billing interface.
Do I need to consent?
Our strictly necessary cookies do not require optional cookie consent. The Creator Partner Program uses an account referral request rather than a referral cookie. Skipping that request has no effect on your ability to practice or purchase.
If Paddle's checkout sets non-essential cookies when you initiate a payment, Paddle is responsible for obtaining any required consent within its own checkout flow.
Your choices
You can control cookies via your browser or device settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. If you block essential cookies (such as authentication tokens), you will not be able to log in or use the Service.
Legal basis
In Ireland, cookies and similar technologies are regulated under the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336/2011). Consent is required for non-essential cookies. Essential cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user are exempt from the consent requirement. Where cookies involve personal data, GDPR also applies.
Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last Updated" date above when we do.
