1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to website owners.
Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored on your device until they expire or you delete them).
2. How LinkDevi Uses Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They include:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | Maintains your authenticated session | Session / 30 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
| next-auth.callback-url | Stores the redirect URL during authentication | Session |
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| theme-preference | Stores your light/dark mode preference | 1 year |
| workspace-id | Remembers your last active workspace | 30 days |
2.3 Analytics Cookies
We use self-hosted analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies help us improve the Service by tracking page views, session duration, and feature usage. We do not use third-party analytics services like Google Analytics.
2.4 Retargeting Pixel Cookies (Link Owners Only)
LinkDevi allows paid plan users to attach retargeting pixels (Facebook, Google, TikTok, LinkedIn) to their short links. When a visitor clicks such a link, those third-party pixels may set their own cookies. These cookies are governed by the respective third party's privacy policy, not by LinkDevi.
3. Third-Party Cookies
The following third-party services may set cookies:
- Stripe: Used for payment processing. Stripe may set cookies to prevent fraud and process payments securely. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
- OAuth Providers: If you sign in with Google or GitHub, those providers may set their own cookies during the authentication flow.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. Here are links to cookie management instructions for popular browsers:
Impact of Disabling Cookies
Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using authenticated features of the Service. Disabling functional cookies may result in a degraded user experience.
5. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal with each request. Since there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, LinkDevi does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can manage tracking through your cookie settings as described above.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
