Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files a website sets in your browser. We use them for a small number of specific functions: keeping you signed in, remembering your billing session at checkout, and measuring whether the site is working. We don’t use cookies for ad retargeting, third-party advertising networks, or selling your behavior to data brokers.

These are required to deliver the core features and services you request. Because they are essential for site operations, they cannot be disabled while using Cold Approach.

• Auth session cookies. Keep you signed in across pages. Set by Supabase Auth. Cleared when you sign out or after the session expires.
• Stripe Checkout cookies. Held by Stripe during a checkout flow so the payment session survives page reloads. Stripe sets and removes these.
• CSRF and security tokens. Prevent cross-site request forgery against forms and API endpoints.

We may store small amounts of data in localStorageor cookies for things like a draft App Review reply you were composing, the last category filter you used on the articles, or whether you’ve dismissed a banner. None of this is shared with anyone. It lives in your browser and you can clear it any time from your browser’s settings.

We use PostHog for product analytics: page views, which articles get read, and which features get used. It stores a random identifier in your browser’s localStorage(not a cookie) and the data goes to our own analytics project, not an ad network. We do not use third-party advertising or attribution trackers, and you can clear the identifier any time from your browser’s site-data settings.

A small number of third parties may set their own cookies when their functionality is in play:

• Stripe, for payment processing during a checkout. Stripe’s cookie policy is at stripe.com/cookie-settings.
• Mux, for course video playback. Mux uses playback-session cookies; their privacy policy is at mux.com/privacy.
• Cloudflare, for bot detection and DDoS protection on certain endpoints.

Every modern browser lets you block cookies, clear them, or restrict third-party cookies from the sites you visit. If you block strictly-necessary cookies, signing in and checkout will stop working. We don’t use a cookie banner on the site because we don’t set anything that requires consent under GDPR / ePrivacy beyond strictly-necessary cookies. If that changes, we’ll add a banner.

If we add a new cookie category or third party that meaningfully changes the picture, we update this page and bump the “last updated” date at the top. Material changes also get a one-time email notice if you’re a paying member.
