This policy explains how Surf Skills uses cookies and similar technologies on surfskills.surf (the "Service"). For how we handle personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a site. They let the site remember things between page loads — like keeping you signed in — and help us understand how the Service is used. Some are set by us ("first-party") and some by the providers we use ("third-party").
Cookies we use
| Purpose | Set by | What it does | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication / session | Supabase | Keeps you signed in to your account. | Essential | Session – ~1 week |
| Security | Cloudflare | Protects the site from abuse and keeps it available. | Essential | Up to 1 year |
| Cookie consent | Surf Skills | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies. | Essential | Persistent |
| Preferences | Surf Skills | Remembers choices such as your settings. | Functional | Persistent |
| Analytics | PostHog | Measures how the site is used, including sampled session recordings, so we can improve it. Set only if you accept via the consent banner. | Analytics | Up to 1 year |
Your consent
Analytics cookies are opt-in: none are set until you accept them in the consent banner. If you reject, we don't set any analytics cookies or storage and don't record your session — your visit is only counted in aggregate through a privacy-preserving, irreversible hash computed on our analytics provider's servers with a salt that rotates daily, so it can't be tied back to you.
You can change your choice at any time. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and neither affects how the Service works for you:
Managing cookies
You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Essential cookies are required for the Service to work — if you block them, sign-in and some features may break.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the Service changes; we'll update the "last updated" date above when we do. Questions? Email team@surfskills.surf.
