Strict Privacy Stance: We do not load external analytics systems or advertising trackers. All storage triggers and cookies serve functional platform requirements to keep you logged in and secure.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device by websites you visit. They are commonly used to remember preferences, keep you signed in across tabs, and supply performance telemetry to site operators.
2. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our platform and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure workspaces. Because these cookies are essential to deliver the site, you cannot refuse them without impacting how the application functions.
- Authentication token: Stores your active session state securely so you do not have to log in repeatedly when navigating between different workspace views.
- Security: Protects your account actions against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attempts.
- Preferences: Remembers your consent regarding cookies so that the cookie notice banner does not repeatedly pop up on the screen.
3. Analytics & Performance
AstraBase collects lightweight analytics to measure search terms, product listing views, likes, and launch popularity. All of this telemetry is processed on-platform. We use this data to calculate listing view counts and trending products for the homepage carousel, ensuring the dashboard correctly updates metrics for founders.
4. Third-Party Tracking
We believe in developer and founder privacy. Unlike other listing directories, AstraBase does not load third-party ad networks, social media pixels, or invasive external analytics tools. Any diagnostic tracking is kept local to our database infrastructure.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies using your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies from specific sites. Please note that blocking essential cookies will log you out of your workspace and disable form submissions on the website.
6. Updates to Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our operational, legal, or regulatory requirements. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of storage and cookies.
