Cookie Policy
Last updated: February 21, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
2. Cookies We Use
We use the following types of cookies on LocaMetric:
Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are required for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled. Session Cookie (NextAuth.js): We use a secure, HTTP-only session cookie to keep you logged in. This cookie contains a JSON Web Token (JWT) that identifies your authenticated session. It is set when you sign in (via Google or email/password) and removed when you sign out or when it expires. Language Preference: We may store your selected language preference (English or Hungarian) to provide a consistent experience across pages.
Third-Party Cookies (Payment Processing)
When you initiate a payment, you are redirected to Stripe's hosted checkout page. Stripe may set its own cookies on your device to process the payment securely, detect fraud, and maintain the checkout session. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Cookie Policy (https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal). LocaMetric has no control over Stripe's cookies.
Analytics Cookies
LocaMetric does not currently use any analytics or tracking cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar third-party tracking services. If we introduce analytics in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent where required.
3. Cookie Details
Below is a summary of the cookies set by LocaMetric: Cookie name: next-auth.session-token (or __Secure-next-auth.session-token on HTTPS). Purpose: Maintains your authenticated login session. Duration: Session-based (expires when you close the browser or after the configured session lifetime). Type: Essential, HTTP-only, Secure.
4. Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically: View what cookies are stored on your device. Delete individual or all cookies. Block cookies from specific or all websites. Configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set. However, if you block or delete essential cookies, you will not be able to stay logged in to LocaMetric, and some features may not work correctly. For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help documentation or allaboutcookies.org.
5. Consent
By using LocaMetric, you consent to the use of essential cookies as described in this policy. Since we only use strictly necessary cookies (which are exempt from consent requirements under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive), no cookie consent banner is required. If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will implement a consent mechanism before placing them.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated 'Last updated' date.
