Wrypa Cookie Policy

A. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, etc.) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Essentially, cookies allow a website to remember things like your preferences or whether you are logged in.

There are different types of cookies:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that last only while your web browser is open. They are typically used to remember information during your browsing session and expire once you close the browser.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device even after you close your browser, for a set period of time or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits.
• First‑party Cookies: Cookies set by the website you're visiting (in this case, by Wrypa).
• Third‑party Cookies: Cookies set by domains other than the site you're visiting, typically used for cross‑site tracking, ads, or embedded content. (Wrypa uses minimal third‑party cookies only for essential services.)

B. How We Use Cookies

In short: we use cookies primarily for essential functionality, not for ads or invasive tracking.Our use of cookies is focused on ensuring you can use Wrypa seamlessly. Here are the details:

• Authentication: When you log into Wrypa, we use a cookie to keep you logged in. This tells our server that you are an authorized user. Without this cookie, you would have to re‑enter your credentials on every page load, which would make the service practically unusable.
• Session Management: We use session cookies to remember certain states or preferences while you use the app. For instance, if you're editing your portfolio, the session cookie helps keep track of your progress as you navigate.
• "Remember Me" (Persistent Login): If you choose the "Keep me signed in" option, we will set a persistent cookie on your device. This cookie remains active for 30 days, after which you'll need to log in again.
• Portfolio Preferences: We use cookies to save your portfolio customization settings (like theme preferences, layout choices) so they persist on your next visit.
• GitHub Integration: When you connect your GitHub account, we store authentication tokens in secure cookies to maintain the connection and sync your repositories.
• Security: We use cookies for security features like CSRF protection (Cross‑Site Request Forgery tokens) to verify that requests come from you and protect your account.

C. Types of Cookies We Use

Here are the specific types of cookies Wrypa uses, categorized by purpose:

Essential Cookies

Functional Cookies

Analytics Cookies (Minimal)

Wrypa uses minimal third‑party cookies. The main third‑party cookies come from:

• GitHub Integration: For OAuth authentication and repository access
• Google Analytics: For basic usage analytics (can be disabled)
• AWS CloudFront: For content delivery and performance

D. Managing Cookies and Your Choices

Since we primarily use cookies that are essential or greatly enhance your experience, we do not present an intrusive cookie‑consent banner. However, you still have full control:

• Browser Settings: You can refuse or delete cookies via your web‑browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block cookies from specific sites or all sites, and to clear cookies when you close the browser.
• Platform Settings: You can disable analytics cookies in your Wrypa account privacy settings.
• Impact of Disabling Cookies: If you disable essential cookies for Wrypa, important parts of the service will not work. For example, blocking all cookies means you will not be able to log in or maintain your portfolio settings.
• Deleting Cookies: You can clear Wrypa's cookies at any time via your browser settings. This will log you out and reset stored preferences.

Your use of Wrypa indicates your understanding that we use these essential cookies. By continuing to use our platform, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

E. Changes to This Cookie Policy

As Wrypa evolves, we may update our use of cookies (for example, if we introduce new features that require additional cookies). If any significant changes are made to this Cookie Policy or to the types of cookies we use, we will update this document and, if the changes are material, we may notify you by email or through a notice on our platform.
