Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 16 August 2026
Effective Date: 16 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Reviewwed ("Reviewwed", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use the Reviewwed website, platform, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
By using the Service, you may encounter cookies and similar technologies placed on your device by Reviewwed or by third-party service providers. Where required by applicable law, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device.
Cookies allow a website to recognise your device, remember information about your visit, maintain your session, understand how the Service is being used, and support certain functionality.
We also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, including:
For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" unless a distinction is necessary.
2. Why Does Reviewwed Use Cookies?
We use cookies for a number of purposes, including:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Service to operate properly.
They may be used to:
Because these technologies are necessary to provide functionality that you have requested, they may not require consent in certain jurisdictions. We will nevertheless provide information about them through this Cookie Policy.
2.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow Reviewwed to remember choices you make and provide a more personalised experience.
For example, they may remember:
Where applicable law requires consent for these technologies, we will request your consent before using them.
2.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
If enabled, analytics technologies help us understand how people use Reviewwed.
They may help us understand:
We use this information to improve Reviewwed and make decisions about future features and product development.
Analytics cookies will only be used where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after you have provided consent.
2.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Reviewwed may in the future use marketing, advertising, retargeting, or similar technologies.
If we introduce these technologies, they may be used to:
We will not activate non-essential advertising or marketing cookies without obtaining consent where consent is legally required.
If Reviewwed introduces a new category of cookies that materially changes how information is collected or used, we may update this Cookie Policy and our consent mechanism accordingly.
3. Types of Cookies We May Use
Cookies can be classified in several ways.
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are placed directly by Reviewwed.
They are generally used to provide core functionality, remember preferences, maintain sessions, and support the operation of the Service.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are placed by a service provider other than Reviewwed.
For example, third-party technologies may be used to provide:
Third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Where required, Reviewwed will obtain consent before activating non-essential third-party cookies.
4. Cookie and Similar Technology Inventory
Reviewwed currently uses cookies and similar technologies primarily to provide authentication, account security, session management, and core functionality.
We do not currently use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party marketing cookies as part of the Reviewwed Service.
The technologies below reflect the current Reviewwed application architecture and should be reviewed whenever the production stack changes.
| Category | Technology / Provider | Purpose | Type | Typical Duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Supabase Auth | Maintains the user's authenticated session and allows Reviewwed to recognise a signed-in user between requests and visits. | First-party / service-managed | Session or persistent, depending on authentication configuration | No, where strictly necessary |
| Strictly Necessary | Google OAuth | Allows users to securely authenticate to Reviewwed using their Google account. Authentication-related information is used to establish and maintain the Reviewwed account session. | Third-party authentication service | Session or persistent, depending on browser and OAuth configuration | No, where strictly necessary for user-requested login |
| Strictly Necessary | Reviewwed session / authentication storage | Stores information required to maintain a secure authenticated session and protect account functionality. | First-party | Session or persistent, depending on implementation | No, where strictly necessary |
| Strictly Necessary | Security / CSRF / session protection | Helps protect authenticated requests, prevent unauthorised actions, and maintain the security and integrity of the Service. | First-party | Session or as configured | No, where strictly necessary |
| Strictly Necessary | Vercel infrastructure | Supports delivery, routing, caching, and operation of the Reviewwed web application. Any infrastructure-level identifiers are used only where necessary to provide the requested Service. | Infrastructure / third-party | Varies | No, where strictly necessary |
| Strictly Necessary | Supabase infrastructure | Supports the backend services required for authentication, database access, and operation of Reviewwed. | Infrastructure / third-party | Varies | No, where strictly necessary |
4.1 Technologies We Currently Do Not Use
As of the effective date of this Cookie Policy, Reviewwed does not intentionally use cookies or similar technologies for:
If these technologies are introduced in the future, Reviewwed will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, obtain consent before activating them.
4.2 Analytics
Reviewwed does not currently rely on a dedicated third-party analytics platform that places non-essential analytics cookies on users' devices.
If Reviewwed introduces an analytics service in the future, the service will be added to this Cookie Policy and the cookie consent mechanism will be updated where required by applicable law.
4.3 Local Storage and Similar Technologies
Reviewwed may use browser storage technologies such as localStorage or sessionStorage where necessary to support application functionality.
These technologies may be used to temporarily retain information such as:
The specific use of browser storage may change as Reviewwed's application develops.
Where applicable law treats these technologies in the same manner as cookies, Reviewwed will apply the appropriate consent requirements.
4.4 Cookie Names May Change
The exact technical names of cookies and storage items may change depending on the configuration of Reviewwed's authentication provider, hosting environment, browser, framework, and other infrastructure.
For this reason, the inventory above describes the purpose and provider rather than promising that a particular cookie name will remain permanently unchanged.
Reviewwed will periodically review its production environment and update this inventory when material changes are made.
4.5 Production Cookie Audit
Before making material changes to Reviewwed's production environment, the Reviewwed team should review the cookies and similar technologies actually generated by the Service.
This review should include:
If a new third-party service introduces a cookie or similar technology, this Cookie Policy should be reviewed and updated where appropriate.
5. How We Obtain Consent
Where consent is legally required, Reviewwed will provide an appropriate cookie consent mechanism before placing or accessing non-essential cookies on your device.
Our consent mechanism may allow you to:
Non-essential cookies will not be activated before the required consent has been obtained.
Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and involve a clear affirmative action. Simply continuing to browse the website will not, by itself, constitute consent where applicable law requires affirmative consent.
6. Changing or Withdrawing Your Cookie Preferences
You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings available on Reviewwed.
Where Reviewwed provides a Cookie Settings or Privacy Settings control, you can use that control to review or change your preferences.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before you withdrew your consent.
Where technically necessary, certain strictly necessary cookies may continue to operate because disabling them may prevent parts of Reviewwed from functioning correctly.
We will make withdrawing consent reasonably easy and will not make it materially more difficult than providing consent.
7. Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control or delete cookies through their settings.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of Reviewwed.
Browser-based controls may not necessarily provide the same level of control as Reviewwed's cookie preference mechanism.
8. Third-Party Services
Reviewwed may use third-party providers to operate, secure, analyse, or improve the Service.
Where these providers use cookies or similar technologies, they may independently process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
Third-party technologies may change over time as Reviewwed adds, removes, or replaces service providers.
Before enabling a non-essential third-party technology that requires consent, Reviewwed will provide appropriate information about its purpose and, where required, obtain your consent.
Where applicable, information about third-party providers and their respective technologies will be made available through our cookie consent mechanism or cookie inventory.
9. Cookies and Personal Information
Some cookies and similar technologies may collect information that can be associated with an individual user.
Depending on the technology involved, this may include:
Where information collected through cookies constitutes personal information or personal data, Reviewwed will process it in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our Privacy Policy.
Our Privacy Policy explains in greater detail how Reviewwed collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal information.
10. Data Retention
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose.
Cookies may be:
Session Cookies
These cookies expire when you close your browser or when your session ends.
Persistent Cookies
These cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
Reviewwed will seek to use retention periods that are appropriate and proportionate to the purpose for which the technology is used.
Where cookie technologies involve personal information, we will also consider applicable data protection and storage limitation requirements.
11. Security
Reviewwed takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information processed through the Service.
Cookies themselves are not inherently secure or insecure. Security depends on how they are configured and how the information associated with them is handled.
Where appropriate, Reviewwed may use security controls such as:
We regularly review the technologies used by the Service as part of our security and privacy practices.
12. Children's Privacy
Reviewwed is intended for users who are legally permitted to use the Service.
We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children in circumstances where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to Reviewwed inappropriately, please contact us using the details provided below.
13. International Users
Reviewwed may be accessed by users in different countries.
Cookie and electronic communications laws differ between jurisdictions. As a result, the cookies and consent controls presented to you may vary depending on your location and applicable legal requirements.
For example, users in the United Kingdom may be subject to rules governing cookies and similar technologies under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations ("PECR"), alongside applicable data protection legislation. UK guidance requires clear information and prior consent for non-exempt storage and access technologies.
Reviewwed may therefore use location or other technical signals to determine which consent requirements apply.
14. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.
Changes may be necessary when:
When we make material changes, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
The Last Updated date at the top of this policy indicates when it was most recently revised.
