Cookie Policy
Last Updated: January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Trimlinea ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our barber booking platform and related services.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and recognise you on subsequent visits.
Session Cookies
Expire immediately when you close your browser. Used for temporary session management.
Persistent Cookies
Remain on your device for a set period or until explicitly deleted. Used for remembering preferences.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use minimal cookies for essential platform functionality only. Analytics are collected anonymously without setting cookies.
2.1 Authentication Cookie
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| Cookie Name | auth-token |
| Purpose | Authenticates your session and keeps you logged in while using our services |
| Duration | 60 minutes from login (session-based) |
| Data Stored | Encrypted JSON Web Token (JWT) containing your user identifier and role |
This cookie is essential for operation; without it, you would need to log in on every page.
2.2 Analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics (GA4) in fully anonymous mode with Consent Mode v2. No analytics cookies are set on your device.
- No cookies stored on your device
- No persistent user identifiers
- IP addresses are anonymized
- No cross-session tracking
Google may still collect anonymized, aggregated data for modeled statistics (e.g., page views, traffic sources, device types). This data cannot be used to identify individual users. You can opt-out via Google.
2.3 Error Monitoring (Sentry)
We use Sentry.io for error monitoring and session replay. Sentry does not use cookies. It helps us fix bugs by sending error reports and recording sessions for debugging purposes.
- Error messages and stack traces
- Browser and device information
- Page URL where errors occurred
- Session replays for debugging (anonymized)
3. Cookie Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security to protect your data.
HttpOnly
Prevents JavaScript access, protecting against XSS attacks.
Secure
Ensures cookies are only transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections.
SameSite
Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
4. Cookie Categories Summary
Strictly Necessary
Essential for the website to function (authentication only). No consent required.
Analytics & Monitoring
Google Analytics and Sentry operate without cookies, collecting only anonymous data.
Marketing
We do not use marketing or advertising cookies.
5. Your Privacy
We've designed our platform to respect your privacy by default:
- No cookie banner needed: We only use essential cookies for authentication.
- Anonymous analytics: No tracking cookies are set on your device.
- No third-party advertising: We don't share your data with advertisers.
To clear the authentication cookie, simply log out or clear your browser cookies.
