Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
We use a short list of first-party cookies, all needed to run the Service, and no advertising or cross-site tracking. That is why there is no cookie banner. This page lists every one of them.
1. What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser and reads back on later requests. Local storage is a similar browser feature that keeps preferences on your device and is never sent to our servers on its own. This policy covers both, for marketyourindie.com and the dashboard. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.
2. Strictly necessary cookies
These make sign-in, your session and core features work. Under the ePrivacy Directive (Art. 5(3)) and similar laws they do not need consent, because the Service cannot work without them. They are first-party and are not used for advertising.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Supabase | Keeps you signed in and proves who you are on each request. May be split into numbered parts (.0, .1). | Until you sign out, refreshed while you use the app |
| sb-*-auth-token-code-verifier | Supabase | Secures the Google or GitHub sign-in round trip. | Minutes, during sign-in only |
| myi_active_game | MarketYourIndie | Remembers which of your games the dashboard should open on. | 1 year |
| myi_checkout_intent | MarketYourIndie | Remembers the plan you picked on the pricing page while you create your account, so checkout opens on it. | 30 minutes |
| myi_dau | MarketYourIndie | Avoids recording your daily visit more than once (for product metrics). Holds only the date. | 1 day |
3. Preferences in local storage
These only exist in your browser, are only written once you use the dashboard, and hold no personal data beyond the choices themselves.
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| myi:theme-id, myi:font-choice | Theme and font you chose, so the page does not flash the default first. Also saved to your profile. |
| myi_active_game | Same as the cookie above, read by the browser side of the app. |
| myi_sidebar_w, myi_sidebar_collapsed | Sidebar width and whether it is collapsed. |
| myi_tour_seen:*, myi_pagetour_* | Which product tours you already finished, so they do not show again. |
| myi_banner_dismissed:* | Announcements you closed. |
| myi:content:*, myi:retention:mode | View preferences on the Content plan and Retention pages. |
4. Analytics without cookies
We measure page views and page speed with Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights. Neither sets cookies or stores anything on your device. Visits are counted with a hash that changes every day, so you cannot be followed from one day to the next or across other websites. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels or session recording.
5. Third parties
- Checkout. When you subscribe, you are sent to Polar, our payment provider, which may set its own cookies on its own domain under its own policy.
- Google and GitHub sign-in. Signing in with them takes you to their pages, where their cookies apply.
- Images. Game artwork is loaded from Steam's image servers. Steam does not set cookies on marketyourindie.com.
6. Managing cookies
You can view, delete or block cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge all have this under Privacy). If you block the strictly necessary ones you will not be able to sign in. Clearing local storage only resets your preferences.
We honour the Global Privacy Control signal. Since we do not sell or share personal data or use tracking cookies, there is nothing further for it to switch off.
7. Changes
If we add a cookie, especially one that would need your consent, we update this list and the date above first, and ask for consent before setting anything that requires it.
