Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Snipify ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit and use our URL shortening service (the "Service"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are signed in or which theme you prefer — so that the Service can work correctly and feel consistent between pages.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies only for purposes that are essential to running the Service and for remembering your preferences. We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or third-party tracking, and we do not embed third-party analytics.
3. Cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| access_token | Keeps you signed in during your session by carrying your short-lived authentication token. HTTP-only. | Strictly necessary | 15 minutes |
| refresh_token | Securely renews your session so you don't have to log in repeatedly. HTTP-only and rotated on use. | Strictly necessary | 31 days |
| theme | Remembers your light or dark mode preference. | Functional / preference | 1 year |
4. Consent
The strictly necessary cookies above are required for the Service to function (for example, to keep you logged in) and, under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, do not require your consent. The theme cookie is a functional preference cookie that is only set when you actively choose a theme. Because we do not use any advertising or tracking cookies, no consent banner is required.
5. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies for specific sites. Please note that if you block the strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in or use authenticated features of the Service.
You can also clear the theme cookie at any time; the Service will simply fall back to your operating system's preferred colour scheme.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
