2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly:

  • Authentication Cookies (refreshToken):
    • Type: HttpOnly cookie (not accessible via JavaScript)
    • Purpose: Stores refresh token for secure session management
    • Duration: 7 days
    • Security: HttpOnly, Secure (in production), SameSite=Lax
    • Why we need it: Enables automatic token refresh without requiring you to sign in repeatedly
  • Session Cookies: Maintain your login session while browsing

2.2 Local Storage

We also use browser local storage (not cookies) to store:

  • Access Token: Temporary authentication token (expires after a short period)
  • User Data: Your profile information for faster page loads
  • Redirect Paths: Temporary storage for post-authentication redirects

3. Third-Party Cookies

We take cookie security seriously:

  • Authentication cookies are marked as HttpOnly, preventing JavaScript access
  • In production, cookies are marked as Secure (HTTPS only)
  • We use SameSite=Lax to protect against CSRF attacks
  • Refresh tokens expire after 7 days and require re-authentication
  • Access tokens stored in local storage expire quickly and are refreshed automatically
