Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use the site. Trail Hits also uses similar technologies like localStorage to store preferences in your browser.
How We Use Cookies
We use a minimal set of cookies and browser storage to operate the site and understand traffic. We categorize them as Essential (required for the site to work) and Analytics (help us understand usage). You can manage your preferences at any time using the panel.
Essential
These are required for the site to function correctly. They cannot be disabled.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| th_cookie_consent | Trail Hits | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 1 year |
| sb-access-token | Supabase | Authentication session token (app only) | Session |
| sb-refresh-token | Supabase | Session refresh token (app only) | Session |
Note: Supabase authentication tokens are stored in your browser's localStorage, not as traditional cookies. They are listed here for transparency.
Analytics
These help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve the experience. They are only set if you consent to analytics cookies.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintains session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
We use Google Consent Mode v2. If you reject analytics cookies, Google Analytics operates in cookieless mode — no cookies are set and your visit is modeled rather than tracked individually.
Third-Party Cookies
When you interact with payment features on the web app, Stripe may set cookies to process your payment securely.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __stripe_mid | Stripe | Fraud prevention and payment security | 1 year |
| __stripe_sid | Stripe | Payment session identifier | 30 minutes |
How to Manage Cookies
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:
- On this site: Click in the footer or here to update your choices
- In your browser: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the site from functioning correctly.
