Cookie Policy

This cookie policy explains what cookies are, which ones Annnimate uses, and how you can control them.

I use minimal cookies to make Annnimate work properly and to understand how people use the platform. I don't use cookies for advertising or tracking you across other websites.

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They help websites remember information about your visit, like your login status or preferences.

There are different types of cookies:

• Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies: Stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them
• First-party cookies: Set by the website you're visiting (Annnimate)
• Third-party cookies: Set by other services I use (like Stripe or analytics)

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for Annnimate to work properly. Without them, you can't log in or use the platform. Essential cookies are always active and cannot be disabled.

• Authentication (Supabase): Keeps you logged in securely
• Payments (Stripe): Processes payments and prevents fraud
• Theme preference: Remembers your light/dark mode choice
• Cookie consent: Stores your cookie preferences (annnimate_consent)

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help me understand how people use Annnimate so I can improve it. Analytics cookies are only loaded after you give consent.

• PostHog: Privacy-friendly analytics that tracks page views, usage patterns, and feature adoption without personal identification

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable additional features that enhance your experience. Functional cookies are only loaded after you give consent.

• Crisp Chat: Live chat support widget for getting help

Some services I use may set their own cookies when you use Annnimate:

• Stripe: For payment processing and fraud prevention (essential)
• Supabase: For authentication and database services (essential)
• PostHog: For analytics (requires consent)
• Crisp: For live chat support (requires consent)

These services have their own privacy policies explaining how they use cookies. I don't control these third-party cookies.

You have several options for controlling cookies:

Cookie Preferences

The easiest way to manage cookies on Annnimate is through the Cookie Preferences option in the footer. This opens a dialog where you can enable or disable each cookie category.

Browser Settings

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Here's how:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Impact of Blocking Cookies

If you block or delete essential cookies, Annnimate might not work properly. You may not be able to:

• Log in or stay logged in
• Complete payments
• Save your preferences

Blocking analytics or functional cookies won't affect core functionality, but you'll miss out on features like live chat support, and it makes it harder for me to improve the platform.

When you first visit Annnimate, you'll see a cookie consent banner in the bottom right corner. This lets you choose which cookies you accept:

• Accept All: Enables all cookie categories
• Decline All: Only essential cookies remain active
• Preferences: Opens a dialog to enable/disable specific categories

Essential cookies are always active because they're required for the site to work. Analytics and functional cookies are off by default and only load after you give consent.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Preferences" in the footer of any page. Your preferences are stored in a cookie that expires after 365 days.
