What is a cookie
A cookie is a small piece of data a website stores in your browser. Some cookies are essential to a service working at all (keeping you signed in, for example); others track behaviour for analytics or advertising.
We also use localStorage for a handful of UI preferences. We list those here too because the spirit of the law is "tell people about local browser storage that affects their privacy", not just cookies.
What we use today
Phoenixtech | Links uses only strictly necessary cookies and storage. We don't run analytics, advertising, or any third-party tracker on the marketing pages, the dashboard, or public profile pages.
Strictly necessary
| Name | Purpose | Set by | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-*-auth-token | Keeps you signed in to your dashboard | Supabase (our auth provider) | Session / 1 hour |
sb-*-auth-token.0 / sb-*-auth-token.1 | Refresh-token rotation for the auth session | Supabase | Up to 7 days |
theme (localStorage) | Remembers your light/dark preference for the dashboard | Phoenixtech | Links | Until cleared |
phx-cookie-consent (localStorage) | Records that you've dismissed the cookie banner so we don't show it on every page | Phoenixtech | Links | Until cleared |
phx-starter-banner-dismissed:<profileId> (localStorage) | Hides the dashboard onboarding banner once you've dismissed it | Phoenixtech | Links | Until cleared |
These are necessary for the service to function. There is no opt-out beyond signing out (which clears the auth cookies) or clearing your browser storage manually.
Analytics
None today. We don't run Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, Mixpanel, or any equivalent. The visitor analytics we provide on your public profile page are computed server-side from first-party events and don't involve a third-party tracker. See the Privacy Policy for what's collected.
Advertising / marketing
None. No ad cookies, no remarketing pixels, no social-media trackers (Meta Pixel, X Pixel, etc.).
Third-party cookies during checkout
When paid Pro launches, the Paddle.js checkout overlay may set its own cookies for fraud prevention and session continuity during the few seconds you're at the checkout. These are first-party from Paddle's perspective and out of scope for our cookie banner. We'll update this section before checkout goes live.
How to manage cookies
Every modern browser lets you view and delete cookies and local storage on a per-site basis. Removing the auth cookies will sign you out; removing the preference cookies will reset light/dark and re-show the cookie banner.
- Chrome / Edge — Settings → Privacy and Security → Site settings → View permissions and data stored across sites.
- Safari — Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
On iOS and Android, the same controls live in the browser's settings pane.
Changes to this policy
When we add cookies (for example, when Paddle.js starts running on checkout, or if we ever add an opt-in analytics layer), this page changes first. The "Last updated" date marks the change.
