Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how TinKern Labs (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on Sophlow (“Service”). By continuing to use the Service, you consent to our use of cookies as described here.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them. Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or “persistent” cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. Cookies We Use
We use a minimal set of cookies, categorised as follows:
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. They include:
- Authentication tokens — set by Supabase to keep you logged in securely during a session.
- CSRF protection tokens — prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.
Functional
These cookies remember your preferences to improve your experience:
- Theme preference — stores your chosen colour theme (light or dark) so it persists between visits. Managed via
localStorage. - Cookie consent — records your cookie consent choice to avoid showing the banner repeatedly.
Analytics (None currently)
We do not currently use any third-party analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics). If we introduce analytics in the future, this policy will be updated and you will be notified via the Service.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Our infrastructure providers (Supabase, Vercel) may set their own technical cookies for load balancing or security purposes. These cookies are strictly necessary for service delivery and are governed by those providers' own privacy policies. We do not use any third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
4. Cookie Duration
| Cookie | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Auth session token | Strictly necessary | Session / 1 hour |
| Refresh token | Strictly necessary | 30 days |
| Theme preference | Functional | Persistent (localStorage) |
| Cookie consent | Functional | 365 days |
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to Sophlow.
- Cookie banner:When you first visit the Service, you can accept or dismiss our cookie banner. You can reset your preference by clearing your browser's local storage.
