1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to the site owners, and enhance your browsing experience. This Cookie Policy explains how Artha ("the Platform") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off. They include:

• Authentication cookies: Keep you signed in and maintain your session securely (powered by Supabase Auth)
• Security cookies: Help detect and prevent fraud, unauthorized access, and CSRF attacks
• Preference cookies: Remember your language, theme, and currency display settings

2.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform. They are off until you accept them.

• PostHog: Records page views, features used, and session duration so we can see which parts of the Platform are useful. Set only after you accept analytics.
• Google Analytics: Measures how visitors find the Platform, such as the search terms and the referring sites. We use it for search reporting only. It is loaded only after you accept analytics, and advertising signals stay switched off.
• Vercel Analytics: Measures page performance and Core Web Vitals
• Error tracking (Sentry): Captures errors and performance data to improve reliability

2.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization:

• Theme preferences: Remember your chosen color scheme (dark/light mode)
• Dashboard layout: Persist your sidebar state, widget arrangement, and display settings
• Locale preferences: Store your selected language across sessions

2.4 Marketing Cookies

We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies, we do not serve targeted advertisements on the Platform, and we do not sell your data to advertisers. If this changes, we will update this Policy and ask for your consent first.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We use the following third-party services:

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be either "session" or "persistent":

• Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser. Used primarily for authentication and security.
• Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Used for preferences and analytics (typically up to 2 years).

5. How to Control Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. See your browser's help documentation for instructions.
• Our consent notice: We ask before setting any analytics cookie. If you decline, analytics stay off. You can change your mind later by clearing this site's data in your browser, which makes the consent notice appear again on your next visit.
• Do Not Track: We respect the Do Not Track (DNT) header signal. When enabled, we disable non-essential analytics tracking.

6. Local Storage and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage and session storage to persist your application state (e.g., sidebar preferences, recent searches, cached market data). These technologies work similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. The same controls and principles described above apply.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
