Cookie Policy
Effective date: 2026-05-01 · Version: v1.0-beta
This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar storage mechanisms powapi uses and why. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. We also use related techniques such as localStorage for session state. Both are referred to as "cookies" in this document.
How we categorise cookies
We group cookies into three categories. You can see, change, and revoke your choices any time via the Manage cookie preferences link in the footer.
Essential — always on
These cookies are required for the Service to function. We cannot turn them off.
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
powapi_session | Keeps you signed in | session |
powapi_csrf | Cross-site request forgery protection | session |
NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers your language preference | 365 days |
powapi_consent | Stores your consent choices for the other categories | 180 days |
powapi_beta_dismissed | Hides the beta banner after you close it | 7 days |
Analytics — off by default
If you opt in, we use privacy-respecting analytics (Plausible) to understand which pages users visit, in aggregate. We do not track individuals across websites and we do not share data with third-party ad networks.
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_pa_* | Aggregate page-view counters | placeholder, not yet active |
Marketing — off by default
Currently unused. The category exists so we can offer measurement of campaign performance later (e.g. UTM attribution) without re-prompting you for consent.
Third-party cookies
Stripe, our payment processor, sets its own cookies on its checkout and billing-portal pages. These are governed by Stripe's Cookie Policy. powapi does not control these cookies.
How to manage cookies
- In powapi: footer → "Manage cookie preferences" reopens the consent panel. Switching off a category clears the relevant cookies on save.
- In your browser: most browsers let you block or delete cookies via settings. Blocking essential cookies will stop the Service from working.
Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new cookies or change existing ones. Material changes will be announced at least 14 days in advance.
