Cookie Policy
A summary of GigNode's essential cookies and technical measurement tools.
Last updated: September 8, 2026
1. What this policy covers
A cookie is a small piece of data stored by a website in a browser. Similar technical storage can include local storage or security identifiers. This policy explains the current GigNode use that can be verified from the repository.
2. Essential and functional cookies
- Supabase Auth session cookies: maintain sign-in state and authorised access. Their lifetime follows session refresh and authentication configuration.
- gignode_ops_locale: stores the EN/TR selection for one year, with SameSite=Lax and a site-wide path.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: loads only on protected forms for bot and abuse checks and may use technical identifiers, cookies, or browser storage for security.
3. Measurement tools
- Vercel Web Analytics: produces aggregated page-view, referrer, approximate-location, and device/browser category data. Under Vercel's current documentation it uses no cookies and measures anonymized visitors with a daily-changing hash.
- Vercel Speed Insights: sends Core Web Vitals and page-performance measurements from real user devices. GigNode does not create its own consent cookie or advertising profile for this tool.
- Product and security events may be recorded server-side or in the database. The repository contains no third-party advertising, session replay, or cross-site marketing tool.
4. Consent decision and preferences
No cookie banner is included because the current client-side setup does not contain a verified analytics or advertising tool that sets non-essential cookies. Essential authentication and security mechanisms cannot be disabled through a banner.
If advertising, session replay, marketing tags, or other non-essential browser storage are introduced, this policy and a prior-consent mechanism must be updated before those tools load.
5. Browser controls
You can delete or block cookies in browser settings. Blocking session cookies will impair signed-in features; deleting the locale cookie stops the language choice being remembered; blocking security storage may prevent Turnstile-protected forms from working.
