1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide information to site owners, and improve user experience. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. How We Use Cookies
PeoplesOdds uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off. They include:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
sb-access-token | Authentication session (Supabase) | 1 hour |
sb-refresh-token | Session refresh (Supabase) | 7 days |
theme | Stores your dark/light mode preference | 1 year |
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation:
| Cookie / Storage | Purpose | Duration |

peoplesodds_cookie_consent | Records your cookie preferences | 1 year |
2.3 Analytics Cookies (Optional)
With your consent, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Platform. These cookies collect information in an aggregated and anonymised form. We currently do not use third-party analytics, but reserve the right to implement privacy-respecting analytics (such as Plausible or PostHog) in the future, subject to consent.
3. Local Storage and Session Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser localStorage and sessionStorage for essential features such as authentication state, user preferences, and the age verification gate. These storage mechanisms are subject to the same principles as cookies in this policy.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling essential cookies may prevent the Platform from functioning correctly.
- Our Cookie Preferences: You can adjust your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie consent banner (displayed on first visit) or by contacting us.
- LocalStorage: You can clear localStorage data through your browser's developer tools (Application → Storage → Local Storage).
5. Third-Party Cookies
We use Supabase for authentication and database services. Supabase may set cookies necessary for authentication. We do not permit any third-party advertising cookies on the Platform. Links to external websites may set their own cookies; we have no control over these.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to check this page periodically for any changes.
