Cookie Policy
Cookies and similar technologies we use for sign-in, preferences, and analytics.
Last updated: June 30, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how MeadMate(“MeadMate”) uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies on our website and application. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Effective date: June 30, 2026
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Local storage and session storage are browser mechanisms that store data on your device. Pixels and SDKs used by analytics providers may also collect information about how you use the Service.
Technologies can be “session” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. How we use these technologies
- Keep you signed in and secure your session
- Remember UI preferences such as theme and sidebar state
- Remember your selected plan before sign-up
- Measure traffic, product usage, and marketing performance
- Diagnose errors and improve reliability
- Understand how users interact with pages through heatmaps and session replay, with sensitive fields masked
3. Cookies and storage we use
| Name / technology | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supabase auth cookies | Supabase | Authentication and session management | Session / refresh period |
| sidebar_state | MeadMate | Remembers whether the dashboard sidebar is open | 7 days |
| Theme preference (next-themes) | MeadMate | Stores light, dark, or system theme choice | Persistent until cleared |

Exact cookie names and durations may change as we update our tools. Analytics providers may set additional cookies when their scripts load.
4. Essential vs. analytics technologies
Strictly necessary
Authentication cookies and certain preference storage are required for core functionality. The Service cannot operate properly without them.
Analytics and performance
We use Vercel Analytics, PostHog, and Sentry to understand usage and fix problems. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before enabling non-essential analytics or session replay. You can also manage preferences through your browser or device settings.
5. Your choices
- Browser controls — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may prevent sign-in or break parts of the Service.
- Do Not Track — MeadMate does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals in a uniform way because there is no industry standard. We honor applicable legal requirements in your region.
