Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used. Cookies are not harmful and cannot run programmes or carry viruses.

Similar technologies, including local storage and session storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for Waddle AI to function. Without them, you would not be able to log in, navigate the platform, or access your content plan. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable law.

• Authentication tokens: Set by Supabase to keep you logged in during your session
• Session management: Used to maintain your active session on the platform
• Security cookies: Used to help protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and settings to improve your experience on the platform. They are not strictly necessary but make the platform significantly more convenient to use.

• User preferences: Remembers your display settings and platform preferences
• Subscription tier: Stores your current plan details for consistent display across sessions

2.3 Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use waddle.so and the Waddle platform. This helps us identify what is working well and where we can make improvements. Any analytics data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

We will always seek your consent before placing non-essential analytics cookies.

2.4 Third-Party Cookies

Certain third-party services integrated into Waddle may set their own cookies. These include:

• Stripe: Stripe may set cookies to support secure payment processing and fraud prevention when you access the billing area of the platform

These third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy and cookie policies of those providers, and we do not have control over them.

Cookies fall into two categories based on duration:

• Session cookies: These are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies: These remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them. The lifespan of persistent cookies varies but is typically no longer than 12 months for functional cookies

When you first visit waddle.so, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View the cookies that have been set
• Delete individual cookies or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Block all third-party cookies
• Block all cookies (note: this will prevent Waddle AI from functioning correctly)

Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser. You can usually find them under Settings or Preferences. Here are links to guidance for the most common browsers:

• Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
• Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer
• Safari: support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471
• Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies

Some browsers include a Do Not Track (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing activity tracked. Waddle AI does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no consistent industry standard for how to interpret them. We will review this as standards develop.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or the cookies we use. When we make changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Where changes are significant, we will notify you and, where required, seek fresh consent.
