Cookies Notice

1. WHAT THIS NOTICE COVERS

This notice explains the cookies and limited browser-storage technologies used by Lovelace's Square.

2. AUTHENTICATION

When you sign in with Google, Lovelace's Square uses authentication cookies managed through Supabase to keep your session active.

In production, these Supabase authentication cookies are configured on the .lovelacesquare.org domain so they can support shared sign-in across participating Lovelace services, including The Square and Ada.

• They allow you to stay signed in as you move through the service.
• They are necessary for authenticated features to work.
• They are cleared when the session expires or when you sign out.

3. PREFERENCE STORAGE

Lovelace's Square also stores a small amount of preference data in your browser, using cookies or similar browser storage where appropriate, so the interface can remember choices you have made.

This is used for interface preferences such as your selected theme and whether you have dismissed the cookie notice. It is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

4. ANALYTICS

We use cookieless analytics tools (Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights) to understand how the platform is used and to improve the user experience. Based on Vercel's documentation, these tools do not rely on traditional analytics cookies.

5. THIRD-PARTY SITES

We do not use advertising or cross-site marketing cookies on Lovelace's Square. If you choose to sign in with Google or follow external links such as LinkedIn, those third-party services apply their own privacy and cookie practices.

6. MANAGING COOKIES AND SESSION DATA

You can manage cookies and local browser storage through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View stored cookies and delete them individually.
• Clear site data, including local storage.
• Block cookies from specific sites or block all cookies.

If you block authentication cookies, you may not be able to sign in or use authenticated parts of the platform. If sign-in becomes stuck, you can also use /auth/reset-session to clear stale authentication cookies.

7. CHANGES TO THIS NOTICE

We may update this notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by the date at the top of this page.
