Cookie Policy
Last updated: 9 November 2026
Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in the same way. This policy explains which ones PharmacySkills uses and how to control them.
1. Strictly necessary
These are needed for the Service to work, so they do not need your consent.
| Name / type | Provider | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-* (local storage) | Supabase | Keeps you signed in to the app | Until you sign out |
| App preferences (local storage) | PharmacySkills | Remembers settings such as light or dark theme and study progress cached on your device | Until cleared |
| __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Stripe | Fraud prevention during payment | Up to 1 year / 30 minutes |
2. Advertising measurement
We use advertising tags to learn whether our adverts lead people to sign up or subscribe. These are only set if you choose Accept on our cookie banner. If you choose Reject, Google may still receive a cookieless signal that an advert led to a visit, but no advertising cookies are stored.
