What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as being logged in) over time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them.
Which cookies we use
HomeCostAbroad uses only strictly necessary cookies required for the core functionality of the site. We do not use analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Supabase | Keeps you signed in to your account | 1 year |
| __stripe_mid / __stripe_sid | Stripe | Required for secure payment processing | Session / 1 year |

Legal basis
Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent. They are essential for the website to function — without them you could not sign in or complete a purchase. We do not use any cookies for analytics, profiling or advertising, so we do not show a consent banner.
Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the site from working correctly (you won't be able to sign in or complete a payment). Instructions for major browsers:
Changes to this policy
If we ever add cookies that require consent (for example, analytics), we will update this page and introduce a cookie consent banner.
