Cookie policy
Types of cookies and local storage used on whyweviral.dev and the app.
Last updated: 15 July 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage for preferences that are not sent automatically with every request. Together we refer to these as "cookies and similar storage" in this policy.
How we use them
Why We Viral uses cookies and storage to keep you signed in, remember interface choices, and protect the Service. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Optional analytics cookies are disabled by default until you enable them in Cookie settings.
Categories
Essential (always active)
Required for authentication, session security, and core functionality. Without these, you cannot log in or use protected areas of the app.
| Name / key | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| wwv_session | Maintains your signed-in session with the API | 14 days (extended while you keep using the app; cleared on sign out) |
| Supabase auth tokens | Completes email sign-in via Supabase Auth | Until sign-out or expiry |
Preferences (optional)
Improve usability by remembering choices on your device. You can disable this category in cookie settings; some conveniences may reset on each visit.
| Name / key | Purpose | Duration |

| theme_mode | Stores light or dark theme preference | Persistent |
| wwv_scrape_session | Remembers active collect job tracking per project | Persistent |
| wwv_tiktok_session_default | Default TikTok session selection for collecting | Persistent |
| wwv_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preference choices | Persistent |
Analytics (optional, off by default)
Google Analytics 4 (gtag) loads with Consent Mode so analytics storage stays denied until you opt in via cookie settings. After you enable analytics, Google may set cookies such as _ga and _ga_* to measure site usage. Ads storage stays denied.
Managing cookies
Use our Cookie settings page to enable or disable optional categories. You can also clear cookies and site data through your browser settings; doing so will sign you out and reset local preferences.
