Cookie Policy

Effective: April 7, 2026

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help the site remember information between page loads and visits.

2. Cookies We Use

Pulsor uses a minimal set of cookies — only what is necessary for the Service to function and to respect your preferences. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.

Authentication Cookies (Essential)

  • accessToken — A short-lived token (1 hour) that authenticates your requests to the Pulsor API. Set with Path=/, SameSite=Lax, and Secure in production.
  • refreshToken — A longer-lived token (7 days) used to obtain a new access token without requiring you to log in again. Same cookie flags as above.

Both cookies are removed when you log out. Without these cookies the application cannot authenticate you, so they cannot be disabled.

Preference Cookies (Functional)

  • theme — Stores your chosen color scheme (light or dark mode) via the next-themes library so the UI renders correctly on every page load.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Pulsor does not embed third-party tracking, advertising, or analytics scripts. If you sign in via Google OAuth, Google may set its own cookies on accounts.google.com during the authentication redirect; those cookies are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Managing Cookies

You can view, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential authentication cookies will prevent you from using Pulsor while signed in.

5. Changes to This Policy

If we introduce new cookies or change how existing ones are used, we will update this page and revise the "Last updated" date at the top.
