Cookie Policy
Effective date: 13 June 2025
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how visitors use the site.
We also use similar technologies such as localStorage (for storing your language preference) and session tokens stored in HTTP-only cookies.
2. Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the service to function and cannot be switched off.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | Keeps you signed in to your admin dashboard. HTTP-only, secure. | Session / 30 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks. | Session |
| next-auth.callback-url | Remembers where to redirect you after login. | Session |
Functional
These remember your preferences to give you a better experience.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| platform-locale (localStorage) | Stores your language choice (EN/AR/FR) on the marketing page so it persists across visits. | Persistent (localStorage) |
| maweid_ref (cookie) | Stores a partner referral code if you arrived via a referral link, so the referral is attributed correctly. | 30 days |
Analytics (if applicable)
We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand aggregate usage patterns (e.g. most visited pages, device types). If we use any analytics tool, it will be configured to anonymise IP addresses, not track individuals across sites, and not use data for advertising.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising-network tracking cookies.
3. Cookies we do NOT use
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Social media tracking pixels (Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.)
- Third-party behavioural tracking
- Any cookie whose purpose is to build a profile of you across websites
4. How to control cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- View what cookies are set
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites or all sites
- Set preferences for third-party cookies
Browser-specific instructions:
Note: disabling strictly necessary cookies (session tokens) will prevent you from staying logged in to your admin dashboard.
To clear the platform-locale localStorage value, open your browser's developer tools → Application → Local Storage → makane.me and delete the entry.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or change cookies. The effective date at the top will be updated. For material changes we will notify registered users by email.
