cookie policy

Last updated: April 15, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Negio ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at negio.app. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use a minimal number of cookies, strictly limited to what is necessary for the functioning of our service. We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioral tracking, or selling data to third parties.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as signing in, setting preferences, or filling out forms.

• Authentication cookies: Used to keep you signed in and maintain your session securely. These are set by NextAuth.js and are HTTP-only, meaning they cannot be accessed by client-side scripts.
• CSRF protection cookies: Used to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks during authentication flows.
• Cookie consent preference: Stores whether you have accepted or declined the cookie banner so we don't show it again.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences.

• Onboarding state: Remembers whether you have completed the onboarding tour so it is not shown repeatedly.
• UI preferences: Stores small UI-related preferences locally on your device using localStorage (technically not cookies, but similar in function).

Analytics & Marketing Cookies

We use a small number of third-party measurement tools to understand how visitors interact with our website and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are only set if you accept non-essential cookies via our cookie banner.

• Meta Pixel (Facebook): We use the Meta Pixel to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram. It tracks page views and conversion events (such as sign-ups and purchases) so we can understand which ads are effective and show relevant ads to people who may be interested in Negio. Data collected is governed by Meta's Privacy Policy.
• Reddit Pixel: We use the Reddit Pixel to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns on Reddit. It tracks page visits and conversion events in aggregate. Data collected is governed by Reddit's Privacy Policy.

We do not use Google Analytics. We do not serve ads on our site, participate in ad networks, or allow third-party advertisers to place cookies on our site.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Our website uses a limited number of third-party services that may set their own cookies:

• Stripe: Our payment processor may set cookies during the checkout process to prevent fraud and process payments securely. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
• Cloudflare Turnstile: Used on our contact form to verify you are human. This may set cookies governed by Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
• Meta (Facebook): The Meta Pixel may set cookies to track ad performance and conversions. These are only loaded if you accept non-essential cookies. Governed by Meta's Privacy Policy.
• Reddit: The Reddit Pixel may set cookies to track ad performance and conversions. These are only loaded if you accept non-essential cookies. Governed by Reddit's Privacy Policy.

4. Your Choices

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the website (e.g., you may not be able to stay signed in).
• Cookie banner: When you first visit our site, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies via the banner.

5. Data Retention

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies (such as authentication tokens) have a defined expiration period and are automatically deleted after that period. localStorage data persists until you clear your browser data or we remove it programmatically.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
