Cookie Notice
Effective date: 20 April 2026
This notice explains how NeopolisNews uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies when you visit our Platform. We use these only to make the Platform work — we do not use advertising cookies or sell your browsing data.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser by a website. We also use browser localStorage — a similar mechanism that stores data locally in your browser without expiry unless cleared manually.
2. Cookies We Use
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Cookie (httpOnly) | Supabase authentication session. Keeps you logged in across page loads for your individual, builder, or admin account. | Up to 7 days or until you sign out |
| business_otp_* | Cookie (httpOnly) | Stores a signed HMAC token during business OTP verification or claim link flow. Required to complete business registration securely. | 24 hours |
3. Local Storage We Use
In addition to cookies, we store some data in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly submit a form.
| Name / Key | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| neopolis_businesses | localStorage | Admin-side cache of the business directory list to reduce database reads. | Until manually cleared |
| supabase.auth.token | localStorage | Supabase auth session for individual user accounts (managed by the Supabase JS SDK). | Until you sign out |
4. Third-Party Cookies
If you sign in with Google, Google may set its own cookies as part of the OAuth flow. These are governed by Google's Privacy Policy. We do not use any other third-party advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies.
5. What We Do Not Do
- We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies.
- We do not share cookie data with advertisers.
- We do not use cross-site tracking cookies.
- We do not use analytics services that drop third-party cookies (e.g. Google Analytics).
6. How to Control Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Common browser guides:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note: disabling or clearing the cookies and localStorage items listed above will sign you out of the Platform and may affect functionality such as business dashboard access.
7. Changes to This Notice
We may update this Cookie Notice when we change how we use cookies. We will post the revised notice on this page with an updated effective date.
