3. Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the platform to function. Without them, core features like signing in, saving progress, and loading your training data would not work. You cannot opt out of essential cookies.
- Supabase Auth tokens — session management and secure API calls
- localStorage data — training progress, user preferences, team data, offline caching
- Cookie consent flag — remembers your analytics consent choice
4. Analytics Cookies (Optional)
We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with GOATED Training. Analytics cookies are only set after you give explicit consent via the cookie consent banner shown on your first visit.
- Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated
- We do not use analytics data to identify individual users
- No data is sold to advertisers or third parties
5. Third-Party Cookies
We use a limited number of third-party services that may set their own cookies:
- Google Analytics — usage analytics (opt-in only)
- Stripe — secure payment processing (PCI DSS Level 1 compliant)
- Sentry — error tracking and performance monitoring
- Google Fonts — typography delivery
We do not use any advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Analytics consent: Use the cookie consent banner on first visit, or go to Settings to change your preference at any time
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu
- Clear local data: You can clear your browser's localStorage through developer tools, though this will remove your saved progress
Note: Blocking essential cookies will prevent the platform from functioning correctly.
7. Children's Privacy
For users under 13, we comply with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). Analytics cookies are not enabled for accounts created with parental consent, and we collect the minimum data necessary for the platform to function. See our Privacy Policy for details.

We may update this Cookie Policy as our platform evolves. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and version number at the top of this page. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
