Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Podorax uses cookies and similar technologies on the public marketing website and the authenticated product app. Cookies help the service remember sessions, keep accounts secure, preserve preferences, and support a smoother experience for podcast hosts, creators, and guests.

Podorax is still evolving. We currently use cookies and browser storage primarily for authentication, session persistence, theme preferences, security, and product functionality. If we add broader analytics, advertising, or marketing cookies later, we will update this policy and provide controls where required.

Cookies are small files stored by your browser when you visit a website or app. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, SDK storage, device identifiers, and server-side session records. These technologies help services recognize a browser, remember choices, and keep workflows functioning across page loads.

Cookies can be set by Podorax directly or by service providers that help us operate the platform. The exact cookies you see may vary depending on whether you are browsing the marketing website, signing in, using the main app, or interacting with third-party services linked by users.

We use cookies and similar technologies to support authentication, keep users signed in, protect sessions, remember theme settings, reduce repeated prompts, understand basic product behavior, and maintain reliable service operation.

For example, cookies may help Podorax remember that you are authenticated, keep your selected light or dark mode, route you through onboarding, preserve security-related session state, or support features that depend on Supabase authentication and session management.

Authentication cookies and related browser storage help verify that you are signed in and allowed to access authenticated areas of Podorax. Podorax uses Supabase for authentication, so Supabase-related session storage may be involved when users log in, reset passwords, or maintain sessions.

Without authentication cookies or equivalent storage, login and protected app features may not work. You may be redirected to login more often, lose session continuity, or be unable to access creator profiles, requests, messages, dashboards, and settings.

Session management helps Podorax remember your authenticated state as you move through the app. This supports workflows such as onboarding, editing a profile, creating guest requests, responding to invitations, messaging, scheduling, managing notifications, and updating settings.

Sessions may expire for security, configuration, or provider reasons. If a session expires, Podorax may ask you to sign in again before continuing.

Preference cookies or local storage may remember settings that improve your experience, such as interface choices, reduced repeated prompts, or selected product preferences. These are not used to sell your personal information.

Some preferences may be stored in your account instead of your browser when they need to follow you across devices, such as notification preferences or availability settings. Browser-level preferences are usually device-specific.

Podorax supports light and dark modes. Theme preferences may be stored in the browser so the site can load with your selected appearance on future visits.

If you clear browser storage, use a different browser, or disable storage, Podorax may return to its default theme behavior until you choose a theme again.

Security-related cookies and storage help protect accounts, maintain session integrity, support authentication flows, reduce unauthorized access, and diagnose suspicious activity. These technologies are treated as essential because they help keep the platform working safely.

Security cookies do not replace your own account safety practices. Use a secure email account, strong passwords where password sign-in is available, and be careful with links that ask you to sign in.

Podorax may use limited analytics to understand how the public website and app are used, which pages are helpful, where users encounter errors, and how product flows can be improved. Analytics should help us improve the product, not create a confusing tracking experience.

If Podorax introduces more advanced analytics or marketing cookies, we will update this policy to explain what is collected, why it is used, and what choices are available where required.

Podorax uses service providers to operate the platform. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies as part of their services. The main providers currently called out in Podorax privacy materials are Supabase and Resend.

Users may also add links to podcast platforms, social profiles, recording tools, calendars, websites, or meeting pages. Those third-party destinations may use their own cookies once you leave Podorax or load their pages. Their practices are controlled by their own policies.

Supabase supports Podorax authentication, database, realtime, and storage features. When you sign in or maintain an authenticated session, Supabase-related browser storage may be used to manage access tokens, refresh tokens, or session state.

These technologies are important for protected app features. Blocking them may prevent login, cause repeated sign-outs, or break authenticated workflows.

You can manage cookies through browser controls and, where available, product settings. Blocking all cookies or clearing storage may affect login, theme settings, preferences, and app functionality.

If Podorax later adds a cookie preference center for optional analytics or marketing cookies, those controls will be described here. Essential cookies needed for authentication, security, and core service operation may not be optional.

Most browsers let you delete cookies, block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or receive alerts when cookies are set. The exact controls vary by browser and device.

If you block or delete cookies, Podorax may forget your theme, sign you out, or require repeated authentication. Some app features may not work as expected.

We may update this Cookie Policy as Podorax adds features, changes providers, introduces analytics controls, or updates privacy practices. The Last updated date will reflect the latest version.

Material changes may also be explained through the website, app, or other reasonable notices.

Questions about cookies or similar technologies can be sent through the Podorax Contact page. Choose a privacy, legal, or general support topic and include enough detail for us to understand your request.
