Cookie Policy
How Amiga uses cookies.
Last updated May 9, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage Amiga uses, why they exist, and how you can manage them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, can remember settings or help us understand whether the product is working. Cookies can be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a set period.
The cookies and storage Amiga uses
Amiga uses limited cookies and similar storage for these purposes:
- Essential authentication cookies from Supabase keep you signed in, maintain guest sessions, and protect your account session.
- Preference cookies such as NEXT_LOCALE and amiga-theme remember your language and visual theme choices.
- Short-lived workflow cookies such as amiga-guest-migrate and amiga_pending_referral help migrate guest conversations during Google sign-in or apply a referral after login.
- Product analytics storage from PostHog may be used when analytics is enabled to count explicit product events and page views. Amiga disables autocapture and session replay, and message text is not sent as analytics content.
- Payment and identity providers, such as Polar and Google, may set their own cookies when you visit their hosted checkout, customer portal, or sign-in pages.
What we do not use cookies for
- We do not use advertising, retargeting, or cross-site behavioural advertising cookies.
- We do not place conversation text, session summaries, uploaded images, or emotional profile notes inside cookies.
- We do not sell cookie data or share it with advertisers.
- We do not use cookies to fingerprint your device or infer precise location.
Cookie categories
For clarity, the current categories are:
- Strictly necessary: required for login, security, routing, referrals, guest migration, and requested features. These cannot be switched off inside Amiga because the service would not work correctly without them.
- Functional: remembers choices such as language and theme so the experience feels consistent.
- Analytics: helps us understand high-level product usage and reliability if analytics is enabled. Where consent is legally required, Amiga should request consent before using non-essential analytics cookies or equivalent storage.
- Third-party service cookies: controlled by providers you intentionally visit, such as Google sign-in or Polar billing.
How long cookies last
Session cookies expire when your browser session ends. Preference cookies may last until you change the preference, clear browser data, or the cookie reaches its configured expiration. Workflow cookies are short-lived and typically expire within minutes or one day. Provider cookies follow the retention periods in each provider’s own policy.
How to manage cookies
You can manage cookies in these ways:
- Use your browser settings to delete or block cookies and local storage.
- Sign out of Amiga to clear active authentication state where supported by the authentication provider.
- Use privacy controls offered by Google, Polar, PostHog, or your browser for provider-controlled cookies.
- Contact us if you need help understanding or exercising privacy rights related to cookies.
Important compliance note
Some regions, including the EEA and UK, generally require clear consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies or similar technologies. If Amiga enables analytics or other non-essential storage for those visitors, the product should provide a compliant consent choice before that storage runs.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our product, providers, or legal obligations change. Material changes will be posted here with an updated date.
