Cookie Policy
Effective Date: May 12, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how FlipScore, Inc. ("FlipScore," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our platform. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides a broader description of how we collect and use information.
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 allow websites to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and collect information about how you interact with the site.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we generally mean cookies and these similar technologies collectively.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, security controls, and basic navigation. Without these cookies, the Service cannot be provided.
Examples of what strictly necessary cookies enable:
- Keeping you logged into your account during a session
- Maintaining your authentication state across page loads
- Preventing cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
- Storing your session preferences and temporary form data
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be opted out of while using the Service. They do not collect personal data for marketing purposes.
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies allow us to remember choices you make and personalize the platform for you. They are used to:
- Remember your preferred analysis settings and defaults
- Store your UI preferences (e.g., sidebar state, tab selections)
- Recall recently analyzed addresses for convenience
Functional cookies do not track you across third-party websites.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how users interact with the platform, which features are most used, where users encounter errors, and how we can improve the experience. Analytics data is collected in aggregate or pseudonymous form and is not used to identify you personally.
Analytics providers we may use include PostHog or similar tools. These providers are configured to minimize personally identifiable data collection consistent with this policy.
2.4 Payment and Security Cookies
Stripe, our payment processor, may set cookies on payment-related pages to enable secure transaction processing, fraud prevention, and PCI compliance. These cookies are governed by Stripe's own cookie and privacy policies.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Certain third-party services embedded in or used by the FlipScore platform may set their own cookies. These third parties include:
| Provider | Purpose | Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | Property location mapping and geocoding | policies.google.com |
| Stripe | Payment processing and fraud prevention | stripe.com/privacy |
| Supabase | Authentication and session management | supabase.com/privacy |
FlipScore does not control the cookies set by third-party providers and is not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you interact with.
4. What We Do Not Do
- We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising or retargeting on third-party ad networks
- We do not sell cookie-derived data to data brokers or advertisers
- We do not use third-party advertising cookies (e.g., Google Ads, Meta Pixel) unless explicitly disclosed
- We do not use cookies to track you across unrelated websites
5. Managing and Controlling Cookies
5.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to:
- Block all cookies (note: this will prevent login and most platform functionality)
- Block third-party cookies only
- Delete cookies when you close your browser
- Be notified before a cookie is stored
Browser cookie settings vary by browser. Visit your browser's help documentation for instructions (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.).
5.2 Opting Out of Analytics
If you prefer not to be tracked by our analytics tools, you may opt out by contacting us at privacy@flipscore.ai. Many analytics providers also offer browser opt-out mechanisms.
5.3 Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using authenticated features of the platform, including logging in, running analyses, and accessing saved deals. Functional and analytics cookies can be disabled with minimal impact on core functionality.
6. Cookie Retention
Cookies are stored for varying periods depending on their purpose:
- Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies — stored for a set period (typically 30 days to 1 year) or until manually deleted
- Authentication tokens — governed by our session expiry settings, typically 7–30 days
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we will update the effective date. For significant changes, we will notify you via email or in-app notice.
