Cookie Policy | Optimal Health

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They're widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.

Why We Use Cookies

Cookies help us keep you securely logged in, remember your settings, and understand how you use our platform so we can improve it.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use four categories of cookies. You can control all but essential cookies.

Essential Cookies

Always Active

These cookies are required for the platform to function. They enable core features like secure login, session management, and security protection. You cannot disable these.

Examples: Authentication tokens, CSRF protection, load balancing, consent preferences

Functional Cookies

Optional

These cookies remember your choices and preferences to provide a more personalized experience. Disabling them won't break the platform but may affect convenience.

Examples: Theme preference (light/dark mode), language settings, dashboard layout preferences

Analytics Cookies

Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our platform. All data is aggregated and anonymized - we don't track individual health information.

Examples: Page views, feature usage, error tracking, performance monitoring

Providers: Vercel Analytics, PostHog

Marketing Cookies

Optional

These cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements and track campaign effectiveness. We currently use minimal marketing cookies and never share your health data with advertisers.

Examples: Conversion tracking, retargeting pixels (if enabled)

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services that may set their own cookies:

Stripe

Payment processing. Sets cookies for fraud prevention and secure transactions.

Vercel Analytics

Privacy-friendly analytics. No personal data collected, aggregated metrics only.

PostHog

Product analytics. Helps us understand feature usage to improve the platform.

Sentry

Error tracking. Helps us identify and fix bugs quickly.

Privacy First

We've chosen analytics providers that respect privacy. No health data is ever included in analytics tracking.

How Long Cookies Last

Different cookies have different lifespans:

Session Cookies

Deleted when you close your browser. Used for temporary data like login sessions.

Short-Term Cookies

Last up to 7 days. Used for remembering recent actions and preferences.

Persistent Cookies

Last up to 1 year. Used for long-term preferences like theme settings and consent choices.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over which optional cookies you accept:

Cookie Banner

When you first visit, you'll see a cookie consent banner. Click "Settings" to choose which cookie categories to enable. You can change these choices anytime.

Browser Settings

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser's help section for instructions. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent the platform from working.

Do Not Track

We respect browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. If you have DNT enabled, we automatically disable analytics and marketing cookies.

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Disabling functional cookies may affect your experience (e.g., theme preferences won't be saved). Disabling analytics cookies means we can't see aggregated usage patterns to improve the platform.
