COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy explains how CostAnchor ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and use our application. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online service providers to facilitate secure logins, make websites work more efficiently, and provide reporting information.

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for two specific reasons:

A. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our application. Specifically, we use secure cookies via our authentication provider (Supabase) to keep you logged in to your CostAnchor dashboard as you navigate between pages. Without these cookies, the application cannot function.

B. Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used. We use Google Analytics to track page views, identify software bugs, and improve the user experience. These cookies collect imprecise location data (derived from IP addresses) and browsing behavior, but do not collect your name or personal contact information.

3. How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

Browser Controls: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject essential cookies, you will not be able to log in to the CostAnchor application.

Disabling Google Analytics: To opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites, you can download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provided by Google at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

4. Updates to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
