Cookie Policy
Trove uses as little browser storage as it can. We don't use advertising cookies or track you across other sites.
Cookies we set
| Cookie | Why | How long | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-…-auth-token (one or more parts)Trove, via Supabase | Keeps you signed in and protects your session. | Until you sign out, refreshed while you use Trove | Strictly necessary |
tro_refTrove | Remembers the friend whose invite link (?ref=) you used, so you both get your free month. | 30 days | Referral (asks first in Europe) |
tro_affTrove | Remembers the affiliate whose link (?via=) you used, so they're credited if you subscribe. | 60 days | Affiliate (asks first in Europe) |
The referral and affiliate cookies are only set when you arrive through an invite or affiliate link. If your browser's time zone is in Europe (including the EU and UK), we ask first and set nothing unless you choose Allow. Elsewhere they're set when you arrive and the same notice lets you say No thanks, which deletes them. Saying no never changes how Trove works for you.
Other storage on your device
- tro.refCookies (local storage): Your answer to the referral cookie notice, so we don't ask again.
- tro.theme, tro.ui and other tro.* settings (local storage): Your theme, language, drafts and panel layout. They stay in your browser.
- tro.sid (session storage): A random ID for this browser tab so our page counter can group one visit's pages. Gone when you close the tab.
- Service worker: Only if you turn on push notifications, so your browser can show them.
Analytics without cookies
Our own page counter and Vercel Analytics count visits without cookies. Our counter groups visits with a one-way hash that changes every day and the session ID above; see the Privacy Policy for what it records.
Payments
When you open checkout, Paddle (our merchant of record) may set its own cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud. Those are covered by Paddle's own policies.
