This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on cadastrehome.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. We use essential cookies for authentication, session management, and theme preferences. Optional analytics cookies (Google Analytics or Plausible) load only after you opt in via our cookie banner.
By clicking "Accept" on our cookie banner, you consent to optional cookies. Essential cookies are set automatically and cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They allow us to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the service. Cookies may be:
- Session cookies: temporary files deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
- First-party cookies: set by us directly on cadastrehome.com.
- Third-party cookies: set by external services we use (e.g., Stripe, Mapbox).
2. Cookies we use
Essential cookies (always active)
These cookies are required for the service to function. They cannot be opted out of without disabling core features such as sign-in, dashboard access, and secure payments.
| Cookie name | Set by | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sb-<project>-auth-token | Supabase | Persistent | 1 hour (refreshed) | Authentication session and JWT refresh token |
| sb-<project>-auth-token-code-verifier | Supabase | Session | Session | PKCE OAuth code verifier for secure sign-in flow |
| cadastre_theme | Cadastre Home | Persistent | 1 year | Stores your light/dark mode preference |
| __stripe_mid | Stripe | Persistent | 1 year | Stripe fraud detection — merchant ID token |
| __stripe_sid | Stripe | Session | 30 minutes | Stripe fraud detection — session ID |
Analytics cookies (opt-in only)
These cookies are only set after you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. They help us understand aggregate usage patterns to improve the service. We never sell analytics data.
| Cookie name | Set by | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Persistent | 2 years | Distinguishes unique users (anonymized) |
| _ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Persistent | 2 years | Session state for Google Analytics 4 |
| plausible_* | Plausible Analytics | None (cookieless) | N/A | Privacy-first page view analytics — no persistent cookie |
We use either Google Analytics or Plausible — not both simultaneously. Plausible is cookieless and GDPR-compliant by design; no cookie is set if Plausible is the active analytics provider.
Third-party map cookies (page-specific)
Mapbox is loaded only on the Service Areas page and only when you view it. Mapbox may set cookies for map tile caching and usage analytics on Mapbox's infrastructure.
| Cookie name | Set by | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mapbox session cookies | Mapbox | Session | Session | Map rendering and tile caching on the Service Areas page |
3. Local storage (not cookies)
We also use browser local storage — which is not technically a cookie — to store the following user preferences on your device:
| Key | Purpose | Clearable |
|---|---|---|
| cadastre_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie banner choice (accept / decline) | Yes — via "Reset cookie preferences" below |
| cadastre_do_not_sell | Stores your Do Not Sell/Share opt-out preference | Yes — via Your Privacy Choices |
4. Managing your cookie preferences
Via our banner
Click "Reset cookie preferences" on our Your Privacy Choices page to clear your stored choice and see the consent banner again on your next visit.
Via your browser
You can control or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from signing in or using dashboard features. Browser guides:
Via Global Privacy Control (GPC)
If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of analytics tracking and Do Not Sell/Share under California law. No additional action is required.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or change cookies. Material changes will be communicated via a refreshed cookie consent banner and an updated effective date above.
