Last updated: June 10, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, and JWT tokens stored in the browser.
2. How We Use Cookies
SATAscent uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies for the following purposes:

3. Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They enable authentication and secure payment processing. You cannot opt out of these cookies while using SATAscent, as the Service cannot operate without them.
Functional
These remember your choices and preferences (such as theme/dark mode) to provide a better, more personalized experience.
Analytics
These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where errors occur. Data collected is aggregated and anonymous. We use this information to improve the Service.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use. These third parties have their own privacy policies:
- Supabase: supabase.com/privacy
- Stripe: stripe.com/privacy
- Vercel: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cross-site behavioral tracking cookies.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in the following ways:
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies (such as authentication cookies) will prevent you from logging in to SATAscent. Here are instructions for major browsers:
Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. SATAscent currently does not respond to DNT signals, but we do not use third-party advertising tracking regardless.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date above.
