1. The cookies we use
| Cookie | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| sb-…-auth-token (sometimes split into parts ending .0, .1) | Keeps you signed in to the member area and identifies you securely to our database (set by our authentication provider, Supabase). | Until you sign out, or up to about 400 days. The sign-in inside it is refreshed regularly. |
| sb-…-auth-token-code-verifier | Used briefly while you confirm your email or sign in with a link, to check the link was requested from your browser. | Normally removed once the sign-in is complete |
| n48_join | Remembers the counties and membership option you chose on the join page before you created an account, so your choice survives signing up and confirming your email. It holds a random code only. | 30 days, or until your choice is saved to your account |
| n48_network | Remembers which county's directory you last opened, so the member area opens on it. | 1 year |
Payments happen on Stripe's own secure pages. Stripe sets its own cookies there, under Stripe's cookie policy.
2. Why we don't ask for consent
The law allows websites to use cookies that are strictly necessary for a service you have asked for without asking for consent. All the cookies above are of that kind, which is why we don't show a cookie banner. If we ever add cookies that aren't strictly necessary, such as analytics, we'll ask for your consent first and update this policy.
3. Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the cookies above, you won't be able to sign in or use the member area, and the join page won't remember your choices.
Signing out removes the sign-in cookies from your browser.
