Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to site owners, and enhance the user experience. DeepAuth uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to operate our platform, remember your preferences, and improve our services.

2. Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our platform. They enable core functionality such as authentication, session management, and security features. Without these cookies, the Service cannot function properly. Essential cookies include:

• Authentication tokens — stored in localStorage to maintain your login session and authorize API requests.
• CSRF protection — used to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.
• Cookie consent preference — stored in localStorage to remember your cookie consent choice.
• Security cookies — used by our infrastructure providers to prevent abuse and ensure platform integrity.

3. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow us to remember choices you make on our platform, such as your preferred settings, language, and display preferences. These cookies help us provide a more personalized experience but are not strictly necessary for the site to function.

4. Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics cookies to collect anonymized information about how visitors use our platform. This helps us understand usage patterns, identify areas for improvement, and measure the effectiveness of our features. Analytics data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. We may use services such as Google Analytics for this purpose.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Certain third-party services integrated with DeepAuth may set their own cookies. These include:

• Stripe — for payment processing and identity verification. Stripe sets cookies to prevent fraud and process transactions securely.
• Cloudinary — for media storage and delivery. Cloudinary may set cookies when serving uploaded content.
• Google — if you use Google OAuth for sign-in, Google may set cookies related to authentication.

We do not control the cookies set by third-party services. Please refer to their respective privacy and cookie policies for more information.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect your ability to use certain features of our platform. You can also withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser data and revisiting our site.

To manage cookies in common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data

7. Cookie Consent

When you first visit DeepAuth, we display a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the Service to function will be used regardless of your consent choice, as permitted under applicable privacy laws. Your consent preference is stored in your browser's localStorage and respected on subsequent visits.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
