Cookie Policy | Focura

Section 1

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are logged in, your display preferences, or which pages you visited — so that you do not have to re-enter that information every time you return.

In addition to cookies, Focura may use similar technologies such as localStorage, sessionStorage, and pixel tags. Where this policy refers to "cookies," it applies to all these technologies equally.

Cookies set by Focura ("first-party cookies") are used exclusively to operate and improve our platform. We do not allow third-party advertising networks to set cookies on Focura pages.

Section 2

Cookie Categories We Use

We use three categories of cookies. The category determines whether we need your consent to set them and how long they persist on your device.

Always On

Strictly Necessary

3 cookies

Essential for authentication, session management, and security. These cannot be disabled — without them the platform will not function.

Session tokens
CSRF tokens
Auth refresh tokens

Opt-Out

3 cookies

Remember your personal preferences such as theme and sidebar state. Disabling these will not break the app, but your preferences will reset on each visit.

Section 4

Third-Party Services

Some features of Focura embed or connect to third-party services. These services may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. The third parties we currently integrate with are:

Paddle — our payment processor and Merchant of Record. Paddle may set cookies during the checkout flow to detect fraud and process transactions securely. See Paddle's Privacy Policy.
Vercel — our hosting and CDN provider. Vercel may set a cookie for Edge network routing. No personal data is stored in this cookie. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.

We review all third-party integrations before adding them to ensure they meet our data minimisation standards. We do not integrate advertising networks, social media trackers, or data brokers.

Section 5
