Cookie Policy
Effective August 13, 2026 · Last updated September 2, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones Freelancerzzz and Brandzzz (together “the platform”) use, and how you can control them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website or web app. They help the service remember information about you between visits — like keeping you signed in.
A related technology is local storage, which stores small amounts of data directly in your browser without expiry. Parts of the app may use it to remember view state (for example, where you were in a presentation). Nothing in it tracks you across sites.
2. The cookies we use
We use essential cookies that the platform needs to work, and one analytics service — Google Analytics — that tells us how the site is used. We don’t use advertising or retargeting cookies.
Session and authentication cookies
These are set by Supabase, our backend provider, to keep you signed in. Without them the app can’t function. They are deleted when your session expires or when you sign out.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
sb-*-auth-token | Keeps you signed in to your account | While signed in; refreshed as you use the app |
sb-*-auth-token-code-verifier | Secures the sign-in flow (PKCE) | During sign-in |
Demo cookies
Trying the demo sets two cookies so the sandbox works and shows its own chrome. They expire on their own within hours.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
fz_demo | Identifies your demo session (and keeps demo activity out of real accounts) | A few hours |
fz_demo_ui | Shows the demo toolbar | 2 hours |
Shared-document cookie
When a client opens a proposal or contract link on Brandzzz, a cookie remembers which engagement that link belongs to, so the portal can show the right materials without an account.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
bz_ref | Links your browser to the document link you opened | 30 days |
Payment cookies
When you interact with payment forms, Stripe sets cookies necessary for fraud prevention and secure payment processing. These are set by Stripe’s domain and governed by Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics on the marketing site and the platform to understand how they are used — which pages are visited, how visitors arrive, and roughly where from (approximate location and device type, never your name or account data). Google sets these cookies and processes the measurements under Google’s Privacy Policy.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes visitors for usage statistics | Up to 2 years |
_ga_* | Keeps session state for usage statistics | Up to 2 years |
The cookies notice itself
Acknowledging the small cookies banner sets one cookie so we don’t show it to you again.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
fz_cookie_consent | Remembers that you've seen this notice | 1 year |
3. What we don’t use
The platform does not use:
- Advertising or retargeting cookies
- Social media tracking pixels
- Third-party data brokers
4. How to manage cookies
Essential cookies can’t be switched off without breaking the app — disabling them will sign you out or stop pages from working. Analytics is optional to you: you can block or clear the _ga cookies from your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics everywhere with Google’s opt-out browser add-on. To clear cookies from your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data
- Safari: Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
Clearing cookies will sign you out of the platform.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the app or by text.
