Cookie Policy
Last updated:
The short version
- This marketing site uses no third-party tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or analytics scripts.
- We store your theme preference in localStorage only.
- The app (app.audulate.com) sets strictly necessary authentication cookies after you sign in.
- No consent banner is required because we set no cookies that require it under PECR.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide basic analytics. Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and EU ePrivacy Directive, websites must obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies.
2. What we use on this site
Audulate's marketing site (audulate.com) takes a privacy-first approach. We do not set advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or any cookie that requires consent under PECR. Here is a complete inventory:
| Name / Provider | Type | Storage | Duration | Purpose | Consent needed? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| theme | Functional | localStorage (audulate.com) | Persistent | Stores your dark/light mode preference so the site loads in the right theme on your next visit. Not transmitted to our servers. | No |
| sb-access-token | Strictly necessary | Cookie (app.audulate.com only) | Session | Supabase Auth session token — authenticates signed-in users in the app. Not set on the marketing site. | No |
| sb-refresh-token | Strictly necessary | Cookie (app.audulate.com only) | 7 days | Supabase Auth refresh token — keeps you signed in without re-entering your password. Not set on the marketing site. | No |
3. Why no consent banner?
UK PECR and EU ePrivacy rules require consent only for cookies that are not “strictly necessary” for the service. Because:
- We set no advertising, analytics, or profiling cookies on this marketing site.
- The
themelocalStorage entry is a functional preference, not a tracking mechanism. - The Supabase authentication cookies in the app are strictly necessary for the service to function and do not require consent under PECR.
We therefore do not show a consent banner on this site. If we ever add any non-essential cookies, we will update this policy and add an appropriate consent mechanism before doing so.
4. The app (app.audulate.com)
The Audulate application uses strictly necessary cookies for authentication (Supabase session tokens) and, if you opt in, functional cookies for UI preferences. These are documented separately in the app's in-product privacy notice.
5. Third-party content
This marketing site does not embed third-party content (YouTube, Intercom, HubSpot widgets, etc.) that would set cookies on your device. If this changes, we will update this policy and add consent controls before the content is loaded.
6. How to control cookies
Even though we don't set cookies that require consent, you can clear localStorage and cookies at any time through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Clearing the theme entry will reset your dark/light mode preference to the system default.
7. Changes to this policy
If we materially change our cookie practices — for example, by adding analytics that require consent — we will update the “Last updated” date above and notify registered users by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
