What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit, making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

How we use cookies

The Confidential Gallery uses three categories of cookies:

1. Strictly necessary

These cookies are essential for you to use the platform. They include:

  • Authentication session — keeps you signed in as you browse
  • CSRF protection — prevents cross-site request forgery attacks
  • Cookie consent preference — remembers the choice you made on this banner

These cannot be turned off.

2. Functional

These cookies remember your preferences and settings:

  • Favourites — artworks you've hearted (stored in localStorage)
  • Scan history — recent AR wall previews (stored in localStorage)
  • AR preferences — frame style, artwork size settings

These are only active if you accept functional cookies.

3. Analytics

We may use anonymous analytics cookies in the future to understand how visitors use the platform. We will always ask for your consent before setting any analytics cookies. At present, no third-party analytics tools are active.

Third-party cookies

We use Supabase to manage authentication and data. Supabase may set cookies for session management. For details, see the Supabase Privacy Policy.

We do not currently use advertising, social media, or tracking cookies from third parties.

Managing your preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer. You can also clear cookies through your browser settings.

Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in to the platform.
