Cookie Policy

Effective: January 3, 2026Version 2.0

🍪 Our "No-Nonsense" Approach

We hate cookie banners as much as you do. We do not use invasive tracking pixels (like Facebook Pixel) or sell your browsing history to ad networks. We only use cookies that are strictly necessary to make the app work and to understand basic usage patterns anonymously.

#1What Are Cookies?

Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They act like a "memory" for the site, helping it recognize you when you come back or keeping you logged in as you navigate between pages. We also use Local Storage, which is a modern version of cookies that allows us to save your unfinished HACCP plan directly on your device so you don't lose your work.

Plain English SummaryTiny files that help the website remember who you are and save your work.

#2Strictly Essential Cookies

These are required for the website to function. You cannot switch these off in our systems.

* Authentication (`sb-access-token`): Keeps you securely logged in via Supabase.
• Wizard State (`haccp_builder_state`): Saves your progress in the form so you can refresh the page without starting over.
• Security (`csrf-token`): Protects your account from malicious attacks (Cross-Site Request Forgery).
• Payments (`stripe.com`): Used by our payment processor to securely handle transactions.

Plain English SummaryThe bare minimum needed to log in, pay, and build your plan.

#3Performance & Analytics (Optional)

With your consent, we use privacy-focused analytics tools (such as PostHog) to understand how our website is used. We track metrics like:

* Which articles are most read?
• How long does it take to complete the wizard?
• Are users encountering errors on mobile devices?

This data is aggregated and anonymized. These cookies are not set unless you accept them via our cookie banner.

Plain English SummaryWe check broad trends to fix bugs, but only if you say yes.

#4Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information.
