Cookie Policy
Effective Date: April 23, 2026This Cookie Policy explains how RhemaOS ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our platform at rhemaos.app.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how you use the service. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.
Your Choice — How Consent Works
On your first visit to RhemaOS we show a cookie banner with two choices: Accept all or Decline. Until you choose, we load only strictly necessary cookies. Your decision is stored locally on your device and can be reset any time by clearing your browser's site data for rhemaos.app.
We also respect the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal. If your browser sends DNT, we treat your visit as "declined" automatically — no analytics or advertising cookies will be loaded.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They cannot be disabled and do not require consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-access-token | Supabase authentication session | Session |
| sb-refresh-token | Supabase authentication refresh | 7 days |
| __Host-next-auth | Next.js session management | Session |
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and settings to enhance your experience.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| theme-preference | Dark/light mode preference | 1 year |
| bible-version | Preferred Bible translation | 1 year |
| prayer-adaptation | Last selected prayer adaptation | 30 days |
| rhema_cookie_consent | Your cookie consent decision | 1 year |
Analytics Cookies — Optional, Consent Required
We use two privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand which features are useful and where the product breaks. Both are loaded only after you click Accept all and are blocked if you decline or have DNT enabled.
| Service | Purpose | Cookie Prefix | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| PostHog | Product analytics — features used, session flow | ph_phc_ | 1 year |
| Google Analytics 4 | Aggregated usage analytics with anonymised IP | _ga, _ga_ | Up to 2 years |
Advertising Cookies — Optional, Consent Required
We run paid advertising campaigns to help new believers find RhemaOS. To measure whether those ads actually result in sign-ups (and to avoid wasting money on ones that don't), we use two advertising conversion trackers. These are loaded only after you click Accept all and are blocked if you decline or have DNT enabled.
| Service | Purpose | Cookie / Identifier | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok Pixel | Attribute sign-ups back to TikTok ad campaigns | _ttp, TikTok browser storage | 13 months |
| Google Ads | Attribute sign-ups back to Google Ads campaigns | _gcl_au, _gcl_aw | Up to 90 days |
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage for:
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
| prayer-cache | Cached prayer content for offline/fast access |
| app-settings | User interface preferences |
| onboarding-state | Track onboarding completion |
| rhema_cookie_consent | Your cookie consent decision |
| rhema_cookie_consent_v | Consent version (re-asked when categories change) |

Do Not Track
We respect the Do Not Track (DNT) signal. If your browser sends a DNT header, we will not load analytics or advertising cookies regardless of your banner choice.
Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you disable strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in or use authenticated features of RhemaOS. Disabling functional cookies may result in a less personalised experience. Disabling analytics and advertising cookies will not affect your use of the platform.
