Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how TheDevs uses cookies and similar technologies on thedevs.org. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. Cookies are widely used to keep websites secure and to keep you signed in.

Cookies we use

TheDevs keeps cookies to a minimum. We use an authentication token cookie that stores your signed session so you stay signed in across pages. This cookie is essential for the service to work and is not used for tracking you across other sites.

• Session/auth cookie: keeps you signed in. Removed when you log out.
• Preference cookies: remember simple choices such as theme, if enabled.

We do not use advertising cookies or sell cookie-based data to third parties. Any analytics we run is privacy-respecting and does not identify you personally.

How to disable cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling the authentication cookie will sign you out and prevent you from staying signed in. To manage cookies:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage cookies and website data.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

On our mobile apps, tokens are stored in the operating system’s secure keychain rather than browser cookies; see our Security Policy for details.

Third-party services

Some pages may embed or link to third-party services (for example payment providers or app stores). These may set their own cookies, governed by their own privacy policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies changes. Material changes will be posted here with an updated date.
