Cookie Policy
Effective Date: May 8, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled. They include session management, authentication tokens, and security cookies.
- Session authentication (BetterAuth)
- Age verification preference
- CSRF protection tokens
These cookies remember your preferences and settings to enhance your experience on the Platform.
- Subscription tier preferences
- UI display settings
- Language preferences
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform so we can improve it. Data is aggregated and anonymized.
- Page view counts
- Feature usage statistics
- Error tracking
3. Age Verification Cookie
When you confirm that you are 18 or older on our age verification screen, we store this confirmation in your browser's localStorage. This is not a traditional cookie but serves a similar purpose — it prevents you from being shown the age gate on repeat visits from the same browser.
This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or site data.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We may use third-party services that set their own cookies, including:
- Payment processors (e.g., Stripe) — for secure payment handling and fraud prevention;
- Analytics providers — for aggregated usage insights;
- Content delivery networks — for performance optimization.
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing them independently.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menu;
- Opt-out tools: Some analytics providers offer opt-out browser add-ons;
- Clear site data: You can clear all cookies and local storage for NailFinder through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings.
Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using core features of the Platform.
6. Cookie Retention
Different cookies are retained for different periods:
- Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser;
- Authentication cookies — retained for up to 30 days or until you sign out;
- Age verification (localStorage) — retained until you clear your browser data;
- Analytics cookies — typically retained for up to 12 months.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date.
