Cookie Policy
Ikigai ADE (Pty) Ltd Last updated: 24 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Ikigai ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar local-storage technologies on our website and product. It is aligned with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Read it alongside our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores on your device. "Local storage" and "session storage" are related browser technologies that hold data on your device until cleared. We use both, sparingly, and only for the purposes below.
What we use, and why
Strictly necessary
These are required for the product to work and cannot be switched off. They do not track you across other sites.
| Purpose | Technology | Set by | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication session - keeps you signed in | Supabase auth token (local storage) | First party | Until sign-out / token expiry |
| Security - inactivity lock, CSRF protection | Session storage | First party | Cleared on tab close |
Preferences
These remember choices you make so the product behaves the way you left it.
| Purpose | Technology | Set by | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theme (dark / light) | Local storage | First party | Until cleared |
| Selected model, onboarding progress, UI layout | Local storage | First party | Until cleared |
What we do not use
We do not run third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers. If we ever add analytics, it will be listed in this policy and, where the law requires it, gated behind your consent before it runs.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking strictly-necessary items will sign you out and break core features; clearing preferences will reset choices like your theme. Because we rely only on necessary and preference data, there is no advertising profile to opt out of.
Changes
We may update this policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
