What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.

How We Use Cookies

Peaufine uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the platform to function and cannot be switched off. They include:

Authentication: Keep you logged in and secure your session
Preferences: Remember your settings (e.g., dark mode, language)
Security: Protect against fraud and unauthorized access
Load Balancing: Distribute traffic to ensure platform stability

Functional Cookies

These cookies enhance your experience by:

Remembering your display preferences
Storing your recent activity for quick access
Enabling features like the daily check-in reminders
Maintaining your Coalescence session state

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics to understand how users interact with our platform:

Track which features are most popular
Identify usability issues
Measure the effectiveness of new features
Understand user flows and improve navigation

Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. We do not use analytics to track individual behavior or link analytics data to your personal account information.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages:

Stripe: For secure payment processing
Supabase: For authentication and database services

These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review them.

Peaufine Connect

Our Connect product takes a stricter line. It sets one kind of cookie only: the strictly necessary session cookie that keeps you signed in. No advertising cookies, no analytics, no tracking pixels, and no open or click tracking in the letters it sends. Full detail is in the Connect Cookie Policy.

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we may use local storage to store certain preferences and temporary data on your device. This includes your theme preference (light/dark mode), draft entries before submission, and UI state preferences. Local storage data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless explicitly submitted.

Managing Cookies

You have control over cookies:

Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings
Our Platform: You can manage non-essential cookies in your account settings under Privacy
Opt-Out: You can opt out of analytics tracking in your settings

Note: Blocking essential cookies may prevent you from using certain features or logging into your account.

Cookie Duration

Cookies have different lifespans:

Session Cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
Persistent Cookies: Remain for a set period (e.g., 30 days for "remember me" functionality)
Authentication Cookies: Typically last 7-30 days depending on your login settings
