Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2 March 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give information to site owners.
2. How We Use Cookies
HPATPro uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They include:
- Authentication cookies: to keep you signed in to your account securely via Supabase Auth
- Session cookies: to maintain your session state as you navigate the Site
- Security cookies: to prevent cross-site request forgery and other security threats
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation:
- Preferences: remembering your display settings, theme, and notification preferences
- Study progress: storing your quiz state, current study session, and progress locally to improve performance
2.3 Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Site. This helps us improve our platform. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
2.4 Local Storage
In addition to cookies, HPATPro uses browser local storage to persist your application state (such as your current plan, study streaks, and UI preferences). Local storage functions similarly to cookies but allows for larger amounts of data. The same principles in this policy apply to our use of local storage.
