## 1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as whether you are logged in, your preferences, or how you navigate the site.

Similar technologies include **local storage**, **session storage**, and **pixel tags**. We refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

## 2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

- Keep you logged in and maintain your session
- Remember your preferences
- Understand how users navigate the Platform so we can improve it
- Detect security issues and prevent fraud

---

## 3. Types of Cookies We Use

We distinguish three categories of cookies, as recommended by EU regulators.

### 3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are **essential** for the Platform to function. Without them, core features such as login and account management cannot work. They do not require your consent under the ePrivacy Directive.

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|--------|---------|----------|
| `session_token` | Maintains your authenticated session | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
| `csrf_token` | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
| `auth_refresh` | Keeps you logged in across page loads | 7 days |

These cookies contain no personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary to keep your session secure.

### 3.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your choices and preferences to provide a more personalised experience. They are **optional** but improve usability. We ask for your consent before setting them.

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|--------|---------|----------|
| `ui_theme` | Remembers your dark/light mode preference | 1 year |
| `lang_pref` | Remembers your language preference | 1 year |
| `onboarding_dismissed` | Remembers if you have dismissed the onboarding prompt | 90 days |

### 3.3 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how users interact with the Platform — which pages are most visited, where users drop off, and how we can improve. They collect information in aggregate and do not identify you individually. We ask for your consent before setting them.

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|--------|---------|----------|
| `_analytics_session` | Tracks a single visit session for page-view analytics | Session |
| `_analytics_user` | Distinguishes unique visitors (anonymised ID) | 12 months |

We do **not** share analytics data with advertising networks. Analytics data is processed to improve AgentPick only.

## 4. Third-Party Cookies

We currently use the following third-party services that may set cookies:

| Provider | Purpose | Type | Privacy Policy |
|----------|---------|------|---------------|
| Supabase | Backend infrastructure (no tracking cookies) | Strictly Necessary | https://supabase.com/privacy |

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising/retargeting cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and request consent.

---

## 5. Your Consent and Choices

When you first visit AgentPick, we will present a **cookie consent banner** asking for your consent to functional and analytics cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are enabled automatically and do not require consent.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by:

- Clicking the **"Cookie Settings"** link in the footer of the Platform
- Adjusting your browser settings (see below)

**Browser-level controls:**

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Here are links to instructions for common browsers:

- [Chrome](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647)
- [Firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences)
- [Safari](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac)
- [Edge](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-63947406-40ac-c3b8-57b9-2a946a29ae09)

Please note: blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform, including your ability to stay logged in.

---

## 6. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We currently do not change our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, as there is no uniform standard for interpreting them. We will revisit this as standards develop.

---

## 7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as we introduce new features or change our use of cookies. We will notify you of significant changes via the cookie consent banner or, if you have an account, by email.
