2. How We Use Cookies

At Sunslider, we use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes, including:

Essential cookies

These are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems.

• NEXT_LOCALE - Stores your language preference (English, Spanish, French). This cookie lasts for one year and helps us remember your preferred language when you return to our site.
• userId - Created when you reserve a username, this cookie helps us maintain your session during the registration process. It lasts for one hour and is set with SameSite=Strict for security.
• Authentication cookies that help us identify you when you're logged in so you can access your account and content.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

• We track basic usage patterns to understand how our site is being used.
• Engagement tracking: We track which posts a user has liked using IP address to provide a better user experience (showing which posts you've already liked).

Preference cookies

These remember choices you make to improve your experience.

4. Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies - These cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Our authentication cookies are typically session cookies.

For example, our NEXT_LOCALE cookie is persistent (1 year) to remember your language preference across visits.

5. Security and Anti-fraud Cookies

We use various non-intrusive techniques to protect our site from automated bots and spam. Our approach focuses on distinguishing between human and automated traffic without using third-party cookies. This system is designed to be minimally invasive while maintaining the security of our platform.

• Google Analytics: We do not use Google Analytics on this site.
• hCaptcha: We use hCaptcha for bot detection during username registration. hCaptcha may set cookies to help verify that you are a human.
