1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and understand how you use the service. Some cookies are essential; others are optional.
2. Cookies we use
Essential cookies
Always active. Required for the site to work.
- Authentication session (Supabase) — keeps you logged in. Expires when your session ends or after 7 days of inactivity.
- Cloudflare Turnstile — verifies you are a real person during form submissions. Cleared after verification.
Functional cookies
Required for features you have chosen to use.
- Cookie consent preference (
thecardgenie-consent) — remembers whether you accepted or declined non-essential cookies. Stored for 12 months.
Analytics cookies
Only set if you give consent via the cookie banner.
- Google Analytics 4 (
_ga,_ga_*) — helps us understand how people use the site (pages visited, time on site, device type). Data is anonymised. Expires after 14 months.
3. Your consent
When you first visit The Card Genie, a cookie banner asks for your consent to non-essential cookies. You can accept or decline. Essential cookies do not require consent as they are strictly necessary to provide the service.
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site — the banner will appear again.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies. The steps vary by browser:
Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.
5. Third-party cookies
Google Analytics and Cloudflare may set their own cookies. We do not control the exact cookies these services set. See their respective privacy policies for details:
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if we add or remove cookies. The "last updated" date at the top will be revised accordingly.
