3. Cookie Categories
Essential cookies
Required for the Service to function. These handle authentication, security, and consent preferences. They cannot be disabled.
Functional cookies
Enhance your experience by remembering preferences such as onboarding state and map settings. The Service will work without these but some features may be less convenient.
Analytics cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the Service so we can improve it. We use Vercel Analytics, which provides privacy-focused, cookieless analytics. Sentry collects error data to help us fix issues.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services integrated into EarthVue:
- Supabase — Authentication and session management
- Stripe — Payment processing (only on checkout pages)
- Mapbox — Map rendering and tile caching
- Cloudflare — Bot protection (Turnstile)
These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review them.
5. Managing Cookies
