Cookie policy
Last updated: 27 July 2026
1. The short version
Makatib.App uses essential storage to keep the service working. With your permission, we also use Google Analytics cookies to understand how the website and app are used. Analytics is off unless you accept it, and we do not use advertising cookies.
2. The cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Type / duration |
|---|---|---|
makatib_cookie_consent (local storage) | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics. | Essential preference storage. Expires after 6 months. |
_ga and _ga_* | Set by Google Analytics only after you accept. They distinguish visits and provide aggregated information about how Makatib.App is used. | Optional analytics. Google sets these for up to 2 years. |
sb-*-auth-token (and chunked variants) | Set by our authentication provider (Supabase) when you sign in. Identifies your session so you stay logged in as you move around the app. | Essential. Session-based, refreshed while you use the app; removed when you sign out. |
__stripe_mid and __stripe_sid | Set by Stripe when your madrassa collects fees through the portal and you open a payment page. Stripe uses them to detect fraud and to keep a payment session together. They are not used for advertising or for tracking you across other sites. | Essential to taking a payment. Stripe sets these for 1 year and 30 minutes respectively. |
Google Analytics may receive information such as the pages visited, approximate location, device and browser information, and referral source. We do not send names, email addresses, student records or message content to Google Analytics.
3. Controlling cookies
Use the Cookie settings control in the footer of any public website page to accept, reject or withdraw consent. Withdrawing consent disables analytics and removes Makatib.App's Google Analytics cookies. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings, but blocking the authentication cookie means you won't be able to sign in.
4. Changes
We will update this policy when our use of cookies changes and request fresh consent where needed. See also the privacy policy. Questions: info@makatib.app.
