Cookie Policy

Last updated: December 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site.

2. How We Use Cookies

Helm uses cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Authentication: Keeping you logged in securely
  • Security: Protecting against fraud and unauthorized access
  • Preferences: Remembering your settings and choices

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.

NamePurposeDuration
better-auth.sessionAuthentication sessionSession / 7 days
better-auth.csrfSecurity token (CSRF protection)Session

3.2 Analytics Cookies (Optional)

We may use analytics cookies to understand how users interact with the Service. These cookies are only set with your consent.

Currently, we do not use any analytics cookies. This section will be updated if we implement analytics in the future.

4. Cookie Consent

We are implementing a cookie consent mechanism to give you control over non-essential cookies. In the interim:

  • Essential cookies are set automatically as they are required for the Service to function
  • Non-essential cookies will only be set with your explicit consent once our consent mechanism is in place
  • You may control cookies through your browser settings at any time

We will update this policy when our cookie consent mechanism is fully implemented.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party services we integrate with may set their own cookies. Currently:

  • Polar: Payment processing - may set cookies for transaction security

These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing them for more information.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through:

  • Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, or delete cookies
  • In-app settings: When available, you can manage cookie preferences in your account settings

Important: Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using Helm. You will not be able to log in or access the Service.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as we add new features or change our technology partners. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or via email.
