Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your login state, preferences, and activity. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

The Services also use similar technologies, such as local storage and session tokens, which serve similar purposes. In this policy, "cookies" refers to cookies and these similar technologies unless otherwise noted.

Cookies are not programs and cannot install software or carry viruses. They simply store information and do not, on their own, identify you personally — though they can be associated with your account when you are logged in.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies to operate and improve the Services:

• Essential cookies: These cookies are required for the Services to function. They enable core features such as authentication, maintaining your logged-in session, and securing your account. Without essential cookies, you would not be able to log in or access protected areas of the Services. These cannot be disabled, as the Services would not work without them.
• Analytics cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Services so we can measure, improve, and optimize performance and usability. They collect aggregated information about pages visited, features used, and interaction patterns. We use this information in aggregate form and do not use it to identify you personally.
• Preference cookies: These cookies remember your settings and choices, such as theme preferences (light or dark mode), notification settings, and other customization options. They allow the Services to present a more personalized experience when you return.

Session and Persistent Cookies

Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session during a single visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them, allowing the Services to remember you across visits. Essential authentication cookies may be either session or persistent depending on your security settings.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to cookies set directly by BetterHealthMap, the Services may include cookies set by third-party providers that help us operate and improve the Services. These may include:

• Infrastructure and hosting providers: Providers such as Supabase may set cookies related to authentication and session management as part of delivering the Services.
• Analytics providers: If we use third-party analytics tools, they may set cookies to collect usage data on our behalf.

We do not allow third parties to use cookies on the Services for advertising targeting or to build advertising profiles about you. Third-party providers are required to process data in accordance with our instructions and applicable privacy obligations.

Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have control over cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View the cookies that have been set on your device.
• Accept or decline cookies, either individually or in general.
• Set preferences for different types of cookies.
• Delete cookies that have already been set.
• Configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.

Disabling essential cookies will affect the functionality of the Services. You may not be able to log in, maintain a session, or access protected features. Disabling analytics and preference cookies will not prevent you from using the core features of the Services, but it may affect your experience and limit our ability to improve the Services.

The way you manage cookies varies by browser. For instructions, consult your browser's help documentation or privacy settings. Links to common browsers' cookie management pages are available in their respective support sites.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is no consistent industry standard for how to interpret DNT signals, the Services do not currently alter our practices in response to DNT signals from your browser. You can manage cookies using the browser settings described above.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Services or by email before the changes take effect. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
