Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 1, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. Sites use them to keep you signed in, remember settings, and, often, to track you across the web. This page lists exactly what Nouna stores in your browser and why. It is short because the list is short.
2. The Cookies We Set
Nouna sets one cookie, and only after you act:
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| sidebar:state | Remembers whether you collapsed the workspace sidebar. Set when you toggle it. | 7 days |
We do not set analytics, advertising, A/B-testing or cross-site tracking cookies. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to: the one cookie above is strictly necessary for a setting you chose. If that ever changes, we will update this page and ask you first.
Browser storage that is not a cookie
Your sign-in session, and a few preferences (theme, the plan you picked before signing up, the business you were last viewing), are kept in your browser's local storage rather than in cookies. Only the session token leaves your browser, and only to Nouna's own backend. Everything else stays local and disappears when you sign out or clear site data.
3. Third Parties
A few services are involved in running Nouna. None of them places a cookie on nouna.io:
| Provider | What happens |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Authentication and database. Your session token lives in local storage, not a cookie. |
| Stripe | Payments happen on Stripe's own checkout and billing pages, under Stripe's cookie policy. We do not load Stripe scripts on nouna.io. |
| Google Fonts | Our typefaces are served by Google Fonts, so your browser sends its IP address to Google to fetch them. Google states the Fonts API does not set cookies. |
| Platforms you connect | Connecting Meta (Facebook, Instagram), X, LinkedIn, Shopify or Google takes you to that platform's sign-in page, where its own cookies apply. |
4. Managing Cookies and Storage
Your browser lets you view, block and delete cookies and site data for nouna.io at any time. Because we set only the sidebar cookie, blocking cookies changes nothing except that the sidebar forgets whether you collapsed it. Clearing site data also signs you out, since your session is stored there.
5. Retention
- sidebar:state cookie: 7 days from the last toggle
- Sign-in session: until you sign out, or until the session expires and cannot be refreshed
- Preferences in local storage: until you clear site data
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our cookie practices.
