Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, improve performance, and provide information to site owners. Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (stored for a set period or until manually removed).

2. How We Use Cookies

refutor uses cookies to:

• —Keep you signed in across page loads and sessions
• —Remember your preferences and settings
• —Maintain the integrity of Mediator sessions (so each participant sees only their own view)
• —Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity
• —Understand how users navigate and use the product in aggregate

3. Types of Cookies

• —Essential cookies: Required for the core service to function. These include authentication tokens and session identifiers managed by Supabase. Without them, you cannot sign in or use refutor.
• —Preference cookies: Store lightweight UI preferences such as your selected mode or any opt-in settings. These are first-party cookies and expire with your session.
• —Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with refutor — which features are used, how long sessions last, and where users drop off. Data is aggregated and anonymised. We never tie analytics data to your identity.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We may use third-party analytics services that set their own cookies. These providers are contractually required to keep your data confidential and may not use it for their own advertising purposes. We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies, and we do not sell your data to ad networks.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• —View which cookies are stored and delete them individually
• —Block cookies from specific sites
• —Block all third-party cookies
• —Clear all cookies when you close the browser

Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from signing in to refutor. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect any product functionality.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal to websites. refutor currently does not alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard for how services should respond. We will revisit this as standards evolve.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use or how we use them. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notice. Continued use of refutor after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
