Cookies Policy
Last updated: April 2026
Your Wished Guide uses only the cookies strictly necessary to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and protect your payments. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. We use cookies only for what is strictly necessary to run Your Wished Guide — keeping you signed in, remembering your language and theme, and protecting your payments. We do not use advertising cookies and we do not sell cookie data.
2. What cookies we use
We rely on essential cookies only. There are no third-party analytics trackers, no remarketing pixels, and no social-media cookies embedded in our pages. The table below lists every cookie we set, why it exists, and how long it lives.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-access-token / sb-refresh-token | Keeps you signed in across page loads. Without these you would be logged out on every navigation. | Session + 7 days (refresh) | Supabase (essential) |
| ywg_theme | Remembers your light/dark preference so the UI does not flash on load. | 1 year | Your Wished Guide (essential) |
| ywg_locale | Stores your language selection (English/Spanish) so we can serve the right UI copy. | 1 year | Your Wished Guide (essential) |
| __stripe_mid / __stripe_sid | Stripe sets these on the payment page to detect fraudulent card use and protect your checkout. | 30 min – 1 year | Stripe (essential for payments) |
3. How to manage cookies
You can clear cookies at any time in your browser settings. If you clear the Supabase cookies you will be signed out and will need to log in again. If you clear the theme or locale cookies the site will revert to system defaults until you set them again.
4. Third-party cookies (Stripe)
Stripe sets its own cookies on payment pages to detect card fraud. You can read Stripe's cookie policy at https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal. These cookies are required for payments to work — blocking them will prevent you from completing a booking.
5. Data transfer & security
We do not transfer cookie data outside the providers listed in the table. All traffic is encrypted in transit, and session tokens are scoped to yourwishedguide.com. We review this list whenever we add a new integration.
6. Changes to this policy
If we change the cookies we use, we will update this page and, when it is a material change, notify signed-in users by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
