Cookie Policy
Last updated: 9 February 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help websites remember your preferences and provide essential functionality like keeping you signed in.
2. How OpenRole uses cookies
OpenRole uses strictly necessary cookies only. We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or tracking. The cookies we use are essential for the service to function — specifically, to keep you signed in securely.
Under UK PECR regulations, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because they are essential for the service you've requested.
3. Cookies we use
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Maintains your authentication session with Supabase | 7 days | Essential |
| sb-*-auth-token-code-verifier | Secures the OAuth authentication flow (PKCE) | Session | Essential |
| cookie-consent | Records your acceptance of this cookie policy | 1 year | Essential |
Note: The sb-* prefix varies based on your Supabase project ID. These cookies are set by Supabase (our authentication provider) and are hosted in the EU.
4. Third-party cookies
OpenRole does not use third-party cookies. We do not integrate Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, advertising networks, or any other tracking services. Your browsing activity on OpenRole is private.
5. Managing cookies
Because we only use essential cookies, disabling them will prevent you from using core features of OpenRole (like staying signed in). However, you can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings:
6. Changes to this policy
If we introduce optional (non-essential) cookies in the future, we will update this policy and seek your consent before setting them. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered users.
