Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies and similar technologies (local storage, session storage) are small pieces of data stored in your browser. ArchHive uses them to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the Platform is used. This policy explains what we set and why.

2. Strictly Necessary

Required for the Platform to function — they cannot be switched off.

• Authentication (Supabase): session cookies that keep you logged in and secure your account.
• Security: per-request tokens used to protect against cross-site request forgery and to apply our content-security policy.

3. Preferences

Stored in your browser's local storage to remember your choices, such as your light/dark theme and display currency. These stay on your device and are not shared.

4. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 and Vercel Analytics / Speed Insights to measure traffic and performance in aggregate (pages viewed, load times, approximate region). This helps us improve the Platform. Analytics data is processed by these providers under their own privacy terms.

5. Advertising

We use Google AdSense on some pages. Google and its partners may set cookies to serve and measure ads, including personalised ads where permitted. You can manage ad personalisation at Google Ad Settings and learn more at Google's advertising policy.

6. Managing Cookies

You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in. Disabling analytics or advertising cookies will not affect core functionality. For users in the EU/EEA, UK, and California, you may exercise the choices described in our Privacy Policy.
