Last updated: 15 September 2026
Briefly uses cookies and browser storage to keep accounts and study features working. Cookies are small values stored by your browser; local storage and session storage are separate browser mechanisms.
What the application stores
| Storage | Purpose | Duration |

| Security cookie | The __Host-briefly-csrf cookie protects requests against forgery. It is Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite=Strict on HTTPS. | Up to one hour; refreshed when needed. |
| Account local storage | Supabase stores authentication/session information so you stay signed in. | Until sign-out, removal or session expiry; tokens may refresh. |
| Study local storage | Stores locally selected study material and practice scores. | Until replaced, removed by the app or cleared in your browser. |
| Tab session storage | Stores study setup choices and checkout request identifiers to avoid duplicate orders. | Usually until the tab/session closes or the app removes it. |
Third-party services
When you open payment checkout, Razorpay may use its own storage for payment functionality and fraud prevention. Hosting or authentication providers may use necessary security mechanisms. Their privacy and cookie notices explain those practices. Google Fonts receives connection metadata when fonts load.
We have not added advertising trackers or optional analytics cookies to this application. If optional tracking is introduced, we will update this notice and obtain consent where required before enabling it.
Your controls
You can block or clear cookies and site storage in your browser settings. Blocking necessary storage can prevent sign-in, security checks, saved local work or checkout from working. Sign out on shared devices. Clearing browser data does not delete your server-side account or cancel a purchased plan; see the Privacy Policy for account requests.
