1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owners.

Similar technologies, such as local storage, session storage, and web beacons, may also be used for the same purposes. In this policy, we refer to all these technologies as "cookies."

  • Authentication: To keep you logged in to your account

Note: Analytics cookies are only set if you opt in or if required for service operation. We use privacy-focused analytics that do not track you across sites.

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We have no control over these cookies. The third-party services we use include:

  • Supabase: Authentication and database services
  • Stripe: Payment processing

5.2 Impact of Disabling Cookies

Please note that disabling certain cookies will affect the functionality of our Service:

  • Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the Service
  • Disabling functional cookies will reset your preferences on each visit
  • Timer state and in-progress work may not be saved

6. Local Storage and Session Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser storage technologies:

  • Local Storage: Used to persist timer state, theme preferences, and UI state across browser sessions. Data remains until explicitly cleared.
  • Session Storage: Used for temporary data that should not persist beyond the current browser session. Data is cleared when the tab or window is closed.

These storage mechanisms contain similar information to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. They are subject to the same privacy controls as cookies.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we respect your privacy choices as described in this policy.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. We will notify you of significant changes by:

  • Posting the updated policy on this page
  • Updating the "Last updated" date
  • Displaying a notice in the Service for material changes

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions requiring explicit consent, we will display a cookie banner on your first visit allowing you to manage your preferences.
