Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2026 · UK PECR compliant · Aura Booking Limited · SC888835

This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies AURA uses, why, and how you can control them. It is issued in compliance with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003 and the UK GDPR.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website or web application. They are used to remember information about your session, preferences, or actions. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage, which store data locally in your browser rather than as cookies.

Cookies can be:

Session cookies — temporary; deleted when you close your browser;
Persistent cookies — remain for a set period;
First-party cookies — set by AURA directly;
Third-party cookies — set by a third-party service used by AURA (e.g., Stripe).

2. What Cookies Does AURA Use?

    Plain summary: AURA uses only cookies that are strictly necessary to make the platform work. We do not use advertising, tracking, or profiling cookies. We do not use Google Analytics or any third-party analytics that track you across the web.
  

Cookie / Storage key	Type	Purpose	Duration	Category
`sb-[project]-auth-token`	localStorage	Stores your Supabase authentication session so you remain logged in to your AURA account	Until logout or session expiry (typically 7 days)	Strictly necessary
`sb-[project]-auth-token-code-verifier`	localStorage	PKCE code verifier used during the OAuth/magic-link login flow — deleted immediately after use	Session (deleted post-login)	Strictly necessary
Stripe cookies (e.g., `__stripe_mid`, `__stripe_sid`)	Third-party cookie (Stripe)	Fraud prevention and security for payment processing at checkout. Set by Stripe, not by AURA. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.	Varies (Stripe-managed)	Strictly necessary

3. Strictly Necessary Cookies — No Consent Required

Under UK PECR, cookies that are strictly necessary to deliver a service you have explicitly requested do not require consent. All cookies listed above fall into this category.

Because AURA uses only strictly necessary cookies, we do not display a cookie consent banner. If we introduce any non-essential cookies in the future (e.g., analytics), we will update this policy and implement a consent mechanism before setting those cookies.

4. What We Do Not Use

AURA does not use:

Advertising or targeting cookies;
Cross-site tracking pixels (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads tags);
Third-party analytics that profile individual users (e.g., Google Analytics, Hotjar);
Social media cookies;
Any cookie set for purposes beyond operating the platform.

5. How to Control Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

View what cookies and stored data are set;
Delete all cookies or cookies from a specific site;
Block third-party cookies;
Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is set.

Browser guides:

    Please note: Disabling authentication cookies will prevent you from staying logged in to your AURA account. Blocking Stripe's cookies may interfere with payment processing at checkout.
  

6. Changes to This Policy

We will update this Cookie Policy if we introduce new cookies or change our approach. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. For material changes, we will notify registered practitioners by email.
