1. What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains how Krolville Stories uses cookies and similar technologies on the website and in the application.
2. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website or use a web application. Similar technologies include localStorage and session storage used for similar purposes.
3. Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are required for the service to function. They cannot be turned off.
| Purpose | Details |
|---|---|
| Authentication session | Keeps you logged in across page visits |
| Onboarding state | Remembers whether you have completed onboarding (kv_ob) |
| Parent Gate verification | Temporary verification state for protected actions (15-minute session) |
| Security and CSRF protection | Used by the authentication system |
These cookies are set by Krolville Stories itself and by our authentication provider (NextAuth / Supabase).
Analytics and product improvement
These help us understand how the product is being used so we can improve it.
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| PostHog | Product analytics — funnel tracking, feature usage, session behavior |
| Sentry | Error monitoring — diagnostic data when errors occur |
PostHog and Sentry may use browser storage or network-level identifiers to associate events. They do not receive child profile data and process only anonymized usage signals.
Marketing / advertising
We do not currently use advertising or retargeting cookies. If this changes, this policy will be updated before such cookies are introduced.
4. Consent
For strictly necessary cookies, no consent is required as they are essential for the service.
For analytics and monitoring (PostHog, Sentry), these fall under our legitimate interests in understanding and improving product reliability. We aim to minimize data collected and use privacy-protective configurations where possible.
5. Managing your preferences
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the service from functioning correctly.
Most browsers allow you to:
- view and delete stored cookies;
- block cookies from specific sites;
- accept or reject cookies before they are set.
6. Third-party services
Some of the tools we use (PostHog, Sentry) may set their own cookies or identifiers governed by their own privacy policies.
See the Subprocessor List for a full list of our service providers.
7. Updates
This policy will be updated if we introduce new tools, change consent mechanics, or add marketing/advertising features.
