Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 6, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to the site owners.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or you delete them) or "session-based" (deleted when you close your browser). They can also be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting).
In addition to cookies, we also use localStorage, a browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to store data locally on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with each request.
2. How We Use Cookies
AutoPress (autopress.dev) uses cookies and similar technologies to:
- Authenticate your identity and keep you securely logged in
- Remember your preferences, such as your chosen display theme
- Load configured analytics after analytics consent
- Load configured advertising on eligible editorial pages after advertising consent
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our platform. Without them, you would not be able to log in or use core features of AutoPress. Essential cookies cannot be disabled.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-access-token | Authenticates your identity. This host-only cookie is HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, and Secure over HTTPS. | 1 hour | AutoPress (Supabase Auth) |
| sb-refresh-token | Renews your session on the server. JavaScript cannot read this host-only HttpOnly cookie. | Up to 30 days | AutoPress (Supabase Auth) |
| autopress-password-recovery | Temporarily proves a valid password-recovery flow. This host-only cookie is HttpOnly and cleared after use. | 15 minutes | AutoPress |
3.2 Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow us to remember choices you make so we can provide a more personalized experience. These are stored using your browser's localStorage rather than as traditional cookies.
| Storage Key | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| theme | Remembers your preferred display theme (light or dark mode) so it persists across visits. | Persistent | localStorage |
| autopress-consent-v2 | Stores your separate analytics and advertising choices and the decision timestamp. | Until changed or browser storage is cleared | localStorage |
3.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve page performance, navigation, onboarding, and product messaging.
AutoPress uses Google Tag Manager to load analytics tools, including Google Analytics where configured, after a visitor accepts optional cookies. These tools may set cookies such as _ga and related identifiers to distinguish visits and measure aggregate usage. Google explains how it uses cookies and similar technologies in Google's cookie documentation.
3.4 Advertising Cookies
If Google AdSense is enabled with the required publisher and consent configuration, eligible blog and documentation pages may request it after you grant advertising consent. Authentication pages and the AutoPress application do not request advertising. Google may then use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, measure performance, limit repeated impressions, and detect invalid traffic. These technologies may:
- Serve ads based on your previous visits to autopress.dev and other websites
- Limit the number of times you see a particular ad
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
- Understand user behavior to improve ad targeting
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also visit www.aboutads.info/choices to opt out of third-party advertising cookies from many other providers.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Third-party services integrated into AutoPress may place their own cookies when their relevant feature is used and, for optional tools, after the corresponding consent. We do not directly control those cookies. Services that may be involved include:
- Supabase — Sets authentication cookies to manage your login session. For details, see the Supabase Privacy Policy.
- Stripe — May set cookies for fraud detection and payment security when you interact with payment forms. For details, see the Stripe Privacy Policy.
- Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics — May set cookies or similar identifiers to measure site usage, traffic sources, and product events. For details, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
- Google AdSense — When configured and enabled, may set cookies for advertising and performance measurement after advertising consent. For details, see the Google Advertising Privacy Policy.
We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party services for more information about how they use cookies.
5. Managing Cookies
Use the persistent "Cookie preferences" control on AutoPress to accept, reject, or change analytics and advertising independently. Revoking a category removes known optional first-party cookies and reloads the page so already loaded optional scripts stop. You can also control cookies through your browser settings:
- Google Chrome — Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
- Mozilla Firefox — Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari — Go to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
- Microsoft Edge — Go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
You can also clear localStorage data through your browser's developer tools (usually accessible via F12) under the "Application" or "Storage" tab.
Please note that disabling or deleting essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to AutoPress and using core features of the platform. Blocking third-party cookies may affect the display of advertisements but will not impact your ability to use the Service.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the third-party services we integrate with, or applicable legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
