Cookie Policy
At Felyra, we believe in transparency. This policy outlines exactly how and why we use cookies and similar technologies. Our goal is simple: to provide you with a secure, smooth, and personalized experience while giving you full control over your privacy.
Scope of this Policy
This document covers your experience on felyra.studio and any of our related tools or services. We encourage you to read this alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for a complete picture of how we operate.
What Are Cookies?
Think of cookies as small digital notes that a website asks your browser to save. They act as a memory for the site, allowing it to recognize you when you return, keep you logged in, or remember your specific settings.
Beyond standard cookies, we also use a few modern web technologies to make Felyra work efficiently:
- Local & Session Storage: This allows us to save your interface preferences (like your theme) directly in your browser, so pages load faster without sending unnecessary data to our servers.
- Server-side Sessions: The secure backbone of your account. We use these to verify your identity on the server without exposing sensitive credentials.
- Analytics Tags: Small snippets of code that—only with your permission—help us understand how the community uses our tools.
Why We Use Them
We use these technologies for specific, practical reasons:
- Security: To keep your account safe, prevent fraud, and block malicious attacks (CSRF protection).
- Authentication: To keep you logged in as you navigate between pages or use the Code Library.
- Functionality: To remember if you prefer Dark Mode or other UI settings.
- Access Control: To verify if you have a Free or Pro subscription when accessing premium tools.
- Improvement: To gather anonymous data on site performance (strictly optional).
Important: We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not sell your data to third parties. Your code and your privacy remain yours.
Types of Cookies
1. The Essentials (Strictly Necessary)
These are non-negotiable for a working website. Without them, you couldn't log in, and our security features would fail. Because they are vital for safety and operation, they are always active.
2. Your Preferences (Functional)
These allow Felyra to "remember" you. For example, saving your cookie consent choice or your preferred visual theme. Disabling these might reset your settings every time you visit.
3. The Analytics (Performance)
We use Google Analytics to understand which tools are popular and where we can improve performance. These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated data. They are disabled by default and only activate if you click "Accept" or enable them in settings.
Cookies We Use
| Name | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | The key to your secure login. It keeps your session active as you browse. | Necessary |
| csrf_token | A security shield that prevents unauthorized commands from being sent from your account. | Necessary |
| felyra_cookie_status | Remembers your decision regarding this cookie policy (Accept/Reject/Manage). | Functional |
| theme_pref | Saves your visual preference (e.g., forcing Dark Mode). | Functional |
| _ga | Used by Google Analytics to distinguish unique users (only if consented). | Analytics |
| _ga_<id> | Used by Google Analytics to maintain session state (only if consented). | Analytics |
Note: Cookie names and expirations may evolve as we update our tech stack. We strive to keep this list current.
You Are in Control
You can manage your cookie preferences anytime via your browser settings or directly on our site. While you can block all cookies via your browser, please be aware that blocking "Strictly Necessary" cookies will prevent you from logging into your account.
Changed your mind? You can reset your consent below to bring back the cookie banner.
Data Retention
We don't keep data longer than necessary. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Functional preferences stay until you clear them. Analytics data is retained according to Google's standard retention periods.
Regarding your files: Any file uploaded to Felyra tools for processing is temporary. For security and privacy, these files are automatically permanently deleted within 7 days.
Updates & Changes
As technology evolves, so will this policy. We will post any significant changes right here. Your continued use of Felyra after an update signifies that you're okay with the new terms.
