Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to site owners.
2. Cookies we use
Portlify uses only essential (strictly necessary) cookies. We do not use any advertising, marketing, or third-party tracking cookies.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token | Authenticates your login session so you stay signed in | Session / 30 days | Essential |
| __Secure-better-auth.session_token | Same as above, used in production with Secure flag | Session / 30 days | Essential |
3. Do we need your consent?
Under GDPR and most privacy regulations, strictly necessary cookies do not require user consent. Since Portlify only uses authentication cookies that are essential for the website to function (you cannot log in without them), we are not required to show a cookie consent banner.
We do not use any:
- Third-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
- Advertising or marketing cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Cross-site tracking cookies
Our analytics system is fully built in-house and does not set any cookies — it tracks page views server-side using basic request data (IP, user agent, referrer).
4. Third-party services
The following third-party services are used by Portlify. They may set their own cookies when you interact with them:
- Razorpay / Stripe — Payment processing. Cookies are set during checkout only and are governed by their respective privacy policies.
- Cloudinary — Image hosting. No cookies are set on your device.
- GitHub OAuth — If you connect your GitHub account, GitHub may set its own cookies during the authentication flow.
5. How to manage cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging into Portlify. For more information about managing cookies, visit aboutcookies.org.
