By continuing to use Gyvyn, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings (see Section 6).
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website operators. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and login status.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels, which serve comparable purposes. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies".
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Gyvyn uses only strictly necessary and functional cookies. We do not use any advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies. We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for marketing purposes.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. Without them, core features such as logging in, navigating between pages, and processing payments would not work.

3.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your preferences and verifying login flows.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token-code-verifier | Supabase | Used during the authentication flow (e.g. email sign-in, password recovery) to verify the integrity of the login process. | Session |
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our platform are set by third-party services that we use to provide core functionality. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies:
- Supabase — Provides our authentication and database services. Supabase sets cookies to manage your login session securely. For more information, see the Supabase Privacy Policy.
- Stripe — Provides our payment processing services. Stripe sets cookies within its payment forms (loaded via secure iframe) to process transactions and prevent fraud. For more information, see the Stripe Privacy Policy.
We do not integrate any advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or third-party analytics services that set cookies on your device.
