This Cookie Policy explains how Dr.Language uses cookies and similar technologies on drlanguage.io.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device on subsequent visits and to remember preferences and authentication state. We also use related technologies such as localStorage and session storage.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
a) Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for core functionality and cannot be turned off:
next-auth.session-token/__Secure-next-auth.session-token— keeps you signed in.next-auth.csrf-token— prevents cross-site request forgery on authentication endpoints.next-auth.callback-url— helps redirect you to the right page after login.drlang.cookieConsent.v1(localStorage) — stores your cookie preference so we don’t prompt you on every visit.- Theme preference (localStorage) — remembers light/dark mode.
b) Analytics (optional, with your consent)
If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand product usage in aggregate — page views, retention, and feature adoption. GA4 may store cookies such as _ga and _ga_G-XXXXXXXto distinguish unique users and sessions. We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2, which means GA4 will not set any analytics cookies until you click "Accept all" in the cookie banner. If you choose "Essential only," GA4 operates in cookieless mode and sends only anonymous pings without storing personal data. For details on how Google processes data, see How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.
3. Managing Your Choices
- Use the cookie banner shown on first visit to accept all or essential-only cookies. You can clear your selection by deleting your browser storage to see the banner again.
- You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Note that essential cookies are required for sign-in; blocking them may break the Service.
- We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for California residents.
4. Third-Party Cookies
If you sign in with Google, Google may set cookies on its domain as part of the authentication flow. We do not control those cookies; please refer to Google’s privacy and cookie policies.
5. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
