1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage (saved in your browser) and identifiers used to keep sessions working.
“Cookies” in this policy refers to cookies and similar technologies unless we say otherwise.
2. Types of cookies and storage we use
2.1 Strictly necessary
These are required for the Service to function and cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Authentication/session cookies or tokens that keep you signed in and protect your account.
- Security measures used to prevent abuse and keep the Service reliable.
2.2 Functional / preferences
These remember choices you make to improve your experience.
- Region/locale preferences (for example US/UK/EU display choices).
- Cookie consent preferences (your choice about analytics).
2.3 Analytics
If you opt in, we may use analytics to understand broad usage patterns and improve ApplyArc. We do not use analytics cookies for targeted advertising, and we do not sell analytics data.
Analytics (if used) is enabled only after you opt in via Cookie Settings (where available) or another consent prompt.
2.4 Examples of cookies / storage (illustrative)
The exact names may vary by browser and by vendor implementation. The table below is provided for transparency and is illustrative of the types of storage used to operate the Service.
| Category | Example | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session token / auth cookie | Keeps you signed in and secures account access | Session or short-lived |
| Preferences | Region/locale setting | Remembers display choices like US/UK/EU | Persistent (until changed) |
| Preferences | Cookie consent choice | Remembers whether you opted into analytics | Persistent (often months) |
| Analytics (optional) | Analytics identifier | Helps measure aggregate usage to improve the product | Varies by provider |
Note: If analytics is not enabled, analytics identifiers are not set by ApplyArc.
3. Your choices and managing preferences
- In-product controls: where available, you can open Cookie Settings (for example from a banner or Privacy Center) to update analytics consent.
- Browser controls: you can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, the Service may not work correctly (for example, you may not stay signed in).
4. Third-party services
ApplyArc uses service providers to operate the Service. Some of these providers may set strictly necessary cookies or use similar technologies to provide their functionality.
- Supabase — authentication and database services; may set essential cookies/session identifiers to maintain your login session.
- Vercel — hosting and delivery; may collect basic request logs needed to operate and secure the Service.
For more details on our service providers, see the “Sharing & service providers” section in our Privacy Policy.
5. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
