STORAGE & COOKIESTransparency NoticeLast Updated: August 2, 2026
Cookie Policy.
This Cookie Policy explains how SideWinn uses cookies, browser local storage, session storage, and telemetry technologies to secure your account, remember user preferences, track points, and improve platform performance.
1. Overview & What Are Cookies
Cookies are small data text files placed on your computer or mobile device when visiting websites. Local Storage and Session Storage are modern HTML5 web technologies that allow applications to store key-value data directly in your web browser.
SideWinn relies on these storage mechanisms to keep you logged in securely, remember your bookmarked opportunities, track your daily streaks, calculate points balances, and prevent automated bot fraud.
2. Technologies We Use
HTTP Cookies
Used by Supabase Auth PKCE to store secure, encrypted authentication state and CSRF validation tokens.
HTML5 LocalStorage
Used to cache client-side state (sw_session, sw_saved, sw_active) for instant page rendering.
3. Categories of Storage We Use
Strictly Necessary Storage: Essential for core app functionality including authentication, session persistence, security checks, and database authorization via Row-Level Security (RLS). You cannot opt out of necessary storage while using SideWinn.
Functional & Preference Storage: Stores your customized dashboard choices, category filters, dark mode preferences, and saved items to deliver a personalized experience without forcing repeated database queries.
Performance & Telemetry Storage: Captures crash reports and performance metrics via Sentry to help engineers identify broken pages, slow database queries, or client-side JavaScript errors.
