Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website or use a web-based application. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies such as:

• Web beacons (pixel tags): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that signal when a page has been viewed or an email has been opened.
• Local storage: Browser-based storage (including sessionStorage and localStorage) used to retain data across page loads without a server round-trip.
• Device fingerprinting: A combination of browser and device attributes used to recognize returning visitors without a traditional cookie.

This Cookie Policy explains how codezilla uses these technologies and your choices regarding them.

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Authentication and security: To keep you signed in, protect your account, and detect and prevent fraudulent activity.
• Session management: To maintain your session state across page navigations within the Service.
• Preferences: To remember your settings and preferences so you do not have to re-enter them on each visit.
• Performance and analytics: To understand how users interact with the Service, identify errors, and improve platform performance and reliability.
• Feature delivery: To deliver certain features and personalization that depend on recognizing your device or browser.

We categorize the cookies we use as follows:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, the Service cannot operate correctly. Because they are essential, they cannot be disabled through our cookie controls, though you can always block them at the browser level (see Section 5).

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Service, such as which pages are most visited and whether users encounter errors. All data collected is aggregated and anonymized — it does not identify you personally. We use this information to improve the Service.

3.3 Preference Cookies

These cookies allow the Service to remember choices you make (such as your language, region, or display preferences) and provide enhanced, personalized features. If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not function as intended.

In addition to our own cookies, we may allow third-party service providers to set cookies on your device when you use the Service. These third parties include:

• Supabase: Our authentication and database provider. Supabase sets cookies necessary to manage your authenticated session. You can review Supabase's privacy practices at supabase.com/privacy.
• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymized usage statistics. Google may set cookies to support this functionality. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for their content or functionality. Please review the relevant third-party privacy policies for more information.

You have several options for managing cookies:

5.1 Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View the cookies stored on your device and delete them individually or in bulk.
• Block cookies from specific websites or all websites.
• Configure your browser to notify you when a website attempts to set a cookie, giving you the choice to accept or refuse it.

Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies — particularly strictly necessary cookies — may impair your ability to use certain features of the Service, including staying signed in to your account.

5.2 Opt-Out of Analytics

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5.3 Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to websites. We do not currently alter our data collection or use practices in response to DNT signals. We will update this section if we implement a DNT response in the future.

Cookies are retained for varying periods depending on their type and purpose:

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a fixed period (as described in the cookie tables in Section 3) or until you manually delete them.

We periodically review the cookies we use and remove those that are no longer necessary.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases for placing cookies on your device:

• Strictly necessary cookies: Placed on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a secure and functional service, and as necessary for the performance of our contract with you.
• Performance, analytics, and preference cookies: Placed on the basis of your consent, which you may withdraw at any time through your browser settings.

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (and its national implementations) and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies. We rely on your continued use of the Service and your browser's cookie acceptance settings as an indicator of consent for non-essential cookies. A dedicated consent management tool may be introduced in a future update.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective date" at the top of this page and notify you where required by applicable law.

We encourage you to revisit this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
