Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
1. What we use, and why
We keep this deliberately small. Here's everything BuildArken stores in your browser:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supabase session cookie | Cookie | Keeps you signed in across BuildArken | 30 days |
| arken_lang | Local storage | Remembers your chosen language | Until cleared |
| arken_theme | Local storage | Remembers Dark/Light preference | Until cleared |
| Google Analytics (_ga, etc.) | Cookie | Aggregate, anonymized traffic statistics | Up to 2 years |
2. Strictly necessary
The session cookie is required for sign-in to work — without it, you'd be logged out on every page. Local storage for language/theme is similarly functional, not tracking.
3. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand overall traffic and usage patterns. This data is aggregated and not tied back to your BuildArken profile.
4. Controlling cookies
You can clear cookies and local storage from your browser settings at any time — this will sign you out and reset your language/theme preference back to default. Most browsers also let you block third-party cookies (like Google Analytics) without affecting sign-in.
5. Changes
If what we store changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
