Cookies Policy
Last Updated: January 02, 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how LifeGlyph ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our application. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, LifeGlyph) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Application to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Application for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Application and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
| Name/Provider | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | First/Third Party | Used for authentication to keep you logged in and secure your session. |
| Stripe | Third Party | Used to provide secure payment processing and fraud prevention. |
| PayPal | Third Party | Used to facilitate secure payments and authentication for PayPal transactions. |
2. Performance and Functionality Cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Application but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like remembering your theme preference) may become unavailable.
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| theme | Local Storage | Stores your preference for "Dark Mode" or "Light Mode" so the app looks the way you want it to on return visits. |
| placeSettings | Local Storage | Remembers your configuration for place logging (e.g., whether to include landmarks, nature, etc.) to save you time. |
3. Analytics and Customization Cookies
Currently, we do not use third-party analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to track your activity across other sites or purely for marketing analytics purposes.
4. Advertising and Marketing Cookies
We do not use advertising cookies to target you with advertisements.
5. Social Networking Cookies
We do not use social networking cookies that enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Application through third-party social networking and other websites.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use "Local Storage" (localStorage) which performs a similar function but allows us to store larger amounts of data (like your settings) locally on your device without sending it to our server with every request. This helps make the application faster and more responsive.
Updates to this Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
