Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 31, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how ChowAPI ("we," "us," "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at chowapi.dev. This policy is part of our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site operators. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage in your browser.
2. Cookies We Use
ChowAPI uses minimal cookies and browser storage. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing cookies.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| chowapi-theme | localStorage | Stores your light/dark mode preference | Persistent |
| sb-*-auth-token | localStorage | Supabase authentication session (dashboard only) | Session |
3. Analytics
Vercel Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Vercel Analytics is privacy-focused and does not use cookies. It collects anonymous, aggregated data including page views, referrer information, and geographic region (country-level). No personally identifiable information is collected. Data is not shared with third parties.
Vercel Speed Insights
We use Vercel Speed Insights to monitor website performance. This tool collects anonymous web vitals data (page load times, layout shifts, interaction delays) to help us improve site speed. No cookies are used and no personal data is collected.
4. Third-Party Cookies
When you interact with Stripe for billing (purchasing credit packs or managing your billing portal), Stripe may set its own cookies according to its privacy policy. These cookies are set by Stripe, not by ChowAPI, and are subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. You can also clear localStorage data through your browser's developer tools.
Blocking or deleting our localStorage items may affect your experience (for example, your theme preference will reset to the default). The API itself does not use cookies and is unaffected by browser cookie settings.
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new technologies. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
