Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how PathStack LLC ("we," "us," "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on mapsassessment.com (the "Service"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit. They are widely used to make sites work, work more efficiently, and provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage, and pixels — operate in comparable ways and are covered by this policy where relevant.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies for a small number of clearly defined purposes:
- To keep you signed in to your account between visits
- To remember your assessment progress and preferences
- To process secure payments through our payment provider
- To protect the Service from abuse and to keep it running reliably
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, profile-building, or selling data to third parties.
Cookies we use
| Cookie / Storage | Purpose | Provider | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Keeps you signed in to your account and authenticates requests to your data. | Supabase (self) | Session / 1 year | Essential |

Essential cookies are necessary for the Service to function. Disabling them in your browser will prevent core features — including signing in, saving assessment results, and completing payments — from working.
We do not currently set optional analytics, advertising, or marketing cookies on this site. If that changes in the future, we will update this policy and provide a clear opt-in mechanism before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device.
Third-party services
The cookies set by Stripe and Cloudflare on this site are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. We rely on these providers because they are necessary to operate the Service securely:
- Stripe — payment processing. Stripe cookie policy
- Cloudflare — content delivery and security. Cloudflare cookie policy
- Supabase — authentication and database. Supabase privacy notice
Your rights and choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights under data protection laws — including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) — relating to how cookies and personal data are handled. These rights may include:
- The right to know what information is collected about you
- The right to access or delete that information
- The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share)
- The right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights
To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@mapsassessment.com.
Managing cookies in your browser
Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Methods vary by browser, but settings are typically found under "Privacy" or "Security." Helpful resources:
Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent core parts of the Service from working — including sign-in, account features, and checkout.
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no industry-wide consensus on how DNT signals should be interpreted. Because we do not use tracking, advertising, or cross-site profiling cookies, our handling of your data is consistent with the spirit of DNT regardless of the signal sent by your browser.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Service, our cookie use, or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top of this page and — for material changes — notify registered users by email before the changes take effect.
