What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, remember your preferences, and provide analytics information to site owners.

Cookies We Use

Essential (always active)

Required for the Service to function. These include authentication tokens, session cookies, and security cookies. You cannot opt out of these without disabling the Service.

sb-* — Supabase authentication session (dashboard users)
qrmaker_guest_id — Anonymous guest identifier for the public chat (localStorage)
qr_ref — Referral code (cookie, 30 days) — remembers who invited you so a discount applies at checkout
host_visit_ts:{slug} — Last-visit timestamp per gallery you host (localStorage) — powers the "welcome back" host panel state
post_pay_cta_dismissed:{slug} — Remembers if you dismissed the post-payment CTA on a specific gallery (sessionStorage)

Analytics (consent required)

Help us understand how visitors use the Service so we can improve it. These are only set with your explicit consent.

Aggregate page views and feature usage (no cross-site tracking)

Cookie Durations

Persistent cookies: remain for a set period (typically 30 days to 1 year)

Managing Your Preferences

When you first visit QR Maker, we ask for your cookie preferences. You can change your choice at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser settings.

Note: disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core features.

Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services we use (Stripe for payments) may set their own cookies. These are governed by those services' own cookie policies.
