Cookie policy

Last updated: 25 October 2026

This policy explains which cookies and local storage CreatorRates uses, what they are for and how you can control them. It complements the privacy policy.

1. What they are

A cookie is a small file a site stores in your browser. Some are technical — needed to keep you signed in — and some are third-party, used to measure audience or show advertising. Local storage works in a similar way, but it is not sent to the server on every request.

2. Cookies we use

  • Session (necessary). Supabase Auth stores cookies prefixed sb- to keep your session and refresh it. Without them you cannot enter the dashboard. They expire when you sign out or when the token expires.
  • Demo mode (necessary). The cr_demo cookie lets you explore the dashboard with sample data when Supabase is not configured. It is deleted when you leave demo mode or when it expires.
  • Interface preferences. We keep settings such as the state of a panel or the last calculator used in your browser. They do not identify anyone.
  • Currency (necessary to read the figures). The cr_currency cookie stores the currency you see amounts in for one year. On your first visit it suggests the currency for your country from the time zone and the language your browser already announces; that read happens on your device and is not sent to the server. You can change it at any time from the header.
  • Cookie notice (necessary). The cr_consent cookie stores for 180 days that you have already seen the notice and the advertising choice you made, so we do not repeat it on every visit. It only contains that flag, the choice (yes or no) and the date.

No third-party advertising. The site shows no ads: there are no advertising cookies, no reserved ad slots and no advertising network script is downloaded on any page. Your advertising preference is still stored with the rest of your decision, because that record is what lets you change it; while there are no live ad units, there is nothing to consent to and no visit is used for advertising.

We do not use first-party tracking pixels or social network cookies to profile you, and we do not sell browsing data.

3. What we do not use

We do not use social network cookies to profile you, nor conversion tracking pixels, and we do not sell browsing data. The calculator works without cookies: the calculations run in your browser and are not sent to the server.

First-party measurement, without cookies. To know which pages are read and whether the calculator is used, the site sends an anonymous counter to its own server: the route, the name of the action, the device type and the domain you arrived from. Your IP is not stored, nor a visitor ID, nor the user agent, nor search terms; there is also nothing in your browser that distinguishes you on the next visit. Because there are no cookies or identifiers, this measurement needs no consent and is not shared with third parties. It switches itself off if you enable Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.

4. Legal basis

The necessary cookies — session, currency and the notice flag itself — rest on the service you request and on the legitimate interest of the site working. There are no advertising cookies that could rest on your consent, because none is installed. If ad units are activated in the future they will rest only on your consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR), which you will then be able to give, refuse or withdraw just as easily from the notice or the preferences button in the footer.

5. How to control them

  • Browser. You can block or delete cookies from the privacy settings of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. Blocking the necessary ones will prevent you from signing in.
  • Notice. You can see the notice again with the preferences button, also available in the footer of every page. Clearing the site's cookies is equivalent to starting over: we will ask again.

6. Retention

Session cookies last as long as the session or the refresh token. There are no advertising cookies to retain, because none is installed. If ad units are activated in the future, Google will set them under its own policies, with durations of up to 13 months. Local preference storage remains until you clear the site data.

7. Changes and contact

If we change the cookie categories, we will update this page and, where necessary, ask for consent again. For any question write to soporte@creatorrates.app.
