Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information stored by a website in your browser. Websites use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as authentication, remembering sessions, security, and basic functionality.

2. How FindIt! Uses Cookies

FindIt! currently uses cookies and related browser technologies primarily to support authenticated sessions and secure access to account-specific features.

These technologies may be used to:

• keep you signed in between page loads;
• maintain your authenticated session;
• allow server-rendered pages to recognize your session;
• support account-specific features and saved game progress; and
• help protect authenticated requests and account access.

3. Authentication and Supabase

FindIt! uses Supabase Auth for authentication. When you sign in, including through Google, Supabase may use cookies or similar browser storage mechanisms to maintain your authentication session.

These technologies are necessary for signed-in features to work properly. If authentication cookies are blocked or removed, you may need to sign in again and some account-specific features may not work.

4. Cookies We Do Not Currently Use

Based on the current FindIt! implementation, we do not currently use cookies for:

• targeted advertising;
• selling or sharing personal information for advertising;
• third-party advertising networks; or
• analytics or behavioral tracking.

If we introduce analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy to explain what is used and why.

5. Other Browser Storage

FindIt! may use browser storage or similar technologies where necessary for basic application functionality, security, or authentication.

Game progress associated with a signed-in account is stored server-side rather than relying on browser storage as the primary record of your progress.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is stored.

However, blocking or deleting authentication cookies may prevent you from signing in or using account-specific features such as saved progress, stars, and leaderboard participation.

7. Third-Party Services

FindIt! currently relies on third-party services including Google for authentication and Supabase for authentication, sessions, and application infrastructure.

These services may use cookies or similar technologies as necessary to provide their respective services. Their use of cookies and personal information is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our technology, features, or use of cookies and similar technologies changes.

When we make material changes, we will update this page so that the current practices are described here.
