Cookies & Tokens.
The Mechanics.
We hate tracking as much as you do. Our cookie policy is built on strict functionality and security, ensuring your session remains yours alone.
Strictly Necessary
Authentication tokens and session IDs. Without these, you can't log in or deploy projects.
Analytics (Anonymized)
We measure page views and load times to optimize server performance. No personal tracking.
Preferences
Saves your theme (Dark/Light) and language selection locally so you don't have to toggle it every time.
As a platform built for developers, we believe in complete transparency regarding what is stored in your browser. Here is the exact breakdown.
1. What is a Cookie (in our context)?
We use the term 'Cookies' broadly to include:
- HTTP Cookies: Secure, HttpOnly cookies managed by NextAuth for session handling.
- Local Storage: Storing non-sensitive UI preferences (like your current tab in the Dashboard).
2. Third-Party Integrations
We keep third-party scripts to an absolute minimum to preserve performance and privacy:
- OAuth Providers: If you log in with GitHub or Google, they may place cookies to verify your identity.
- Sanity CMS: Used purely for fetching real-time data, not for tracking user behavior.
3. Your Control (Clearing the Cache)
You are a developer; you know how to clear your cache. But here is our official stance:
- You can block all cookies via your browser, but CS-Arena will fail to log you in.
- We do not use 'Tracking Pixels' or aggressive re-targeting ads.
- Logging out immediately destroys your active session tokens.
