What this covers
This is a summary of the cookies and similar technologies (like local storage) used on Extra Hands’ website and app, and why. It is part of our Privacy Policy.
Cookies we use
Extra Hands does not run advertising or third-party analytics cookies today. Every cookie we set is strictly necessary to sign you in, keep the service secure, or remember a preference you chose — so, under UK/EU cookie rules, none of them need your consent to be set, but we list them here for transparency.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase session cookies | Keep you signed in and your session secure. | Session / up to 1 year |
| NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers whether you chose English or Dutch for the screens. | 1 year |
| Google Calendar connection cookie | A short-lived, encrypted cookie that protects the connection when you link a Google Calendar (prevents forged connection attempts). | 10 minutes, then deleted |
| Rate-limit / bot-protection cookies | Help us tell a real visitor from automated abuse, so the service stays available. | Set by Vercel; short-lived |
If we later add analytics or marketing cookies, we will update this page and ask for your consent first where the law requires it.
Managing cookies
Because these cookies are needed to sign in and keep the service secure, turning them off in your browser will stop Extra Hands working properly. Most browsers let you view, delete or block cookies from their settings; see your browser’s help pages for how.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page as the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
