Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website operator.

Cookies can be “session cookies” (which expire when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain on your device for a set period or until deleted). Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services on that site (“third-party cookies”).

2. Cookies We Use

Essential cookies (strictly necessary)

We use one category of cookies: authentication session cookies. These are set by Supabase, our authentication provider, to maintain your logged-in session across page loads. Without these cookies, you would be logged out every time you navigate to a new page.

These cookies are essential to the operation of AjoCircle and cannot be disabled without breaking the service. They do not track you across other websites and contain no personally identifiable information beyond your session token.

Cookieless analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand which pages are visited and how the app is performing. It does not set any cookie and does not use any persistent identifier (fingerprint, device ID, or similar) to track you individually or across other websites — it reports aggregated, anonymised page-view counts only. Because it stores nothing on your device, it does not fall under this Cookie Policy’s cookie table above, but we disclose it here for transparency. See our Privacy Policy for how Vercel is used as a data processor.

No advertising or tracking cookies

AjoCircle does not use:

• Advertising or marketing cookies
• Cookie-based analytics (e.g. Google Analytics)
• Social media tracking pixels
• Behavioural profiling cookies
• Cross-site tracking cookies of any kind

We believe your browsing behaviour is your own. We collect only what we need to operate the platform securely and to see whether the app is working.

3. How to Control Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies. Please note that blocking or deleting the essential session cookies listed above will prevent you from staying logged in to AjoCircle.

For guidance on managing cookies in your browser:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Because we only set essential cookies required for the service to function, and our analytics tool sets no cookie at all, we do not display a cookie consent banner. Our essential cookies rely on the “strictly necessary” exemption under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR); our analytics tool is cookieless and stores nothing on your device, so PECR’s storage-and-access consent requirement does not apply to it.

4. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we introduce new cookies or change our practices. Where we add non-essential cookies in future, we will update this policy and obtain your consent where required. The current version is always available at ajocircle.com/cookies.
