Cookie Policy

Last updated: [EFFECTIVE_DATE]

This Cookie Policy explains how Stemify uses cookies and similar technologies on stemify.space. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently and to provide information to website operators.

2. Cookies We Use

Stemify uses only strictly necessary cookies that are essential for the website to function. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, social media cookies, or any other non-essential cookies.

CookiePurposeTypeDuration
access_tokenAuthenticates your session after loginFirst-party, httpOnly, secure30 minutes
refresh_tokenRenews your session without re-entering credentialsFirst-party, httpOnly, secure30 days

Both cookies are set as httpOnly (not accessible via JavaScript) and secure (transmitted only over HTTPS). They contain cryptographic tokens and do not store personal information directly.

3. Consent

Because we use only strictly necessary cookies, we do not require your consent to set them. Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements under the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC, as amended) and applicable Swiss law (FMG art. 45c). Without these cookies, the Service cannot function (you cannot remain logged in).

4. Third-Party Cookies

Stemify itself does not set third-party cookies. However, when you are redirected to PayPal for payment processing, PayPal may set its own cookies on your device. These cookies are subject to PayPal’s Privacy Policy and are not controlled by Stemify.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. However, if you block or delete our authentication cookies, you will not be able to remain logged in to the Service. For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, consult your browser’s help documentation.

6. Future Changes

If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future (e.g., analytics), we will update this policy, implement an appropriate consent mechanism, and notify you before any such cookies are set.
