1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences, keep you signed in, and understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage; we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.
2. How we use cookies
Pulse keeps cookie use to a minimum. We use cookies that are strictly necessary to run the service — such as signing you in and keeping your session secure — and a small number of functional cookies that remember preferences like your chosen theme. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under UK PECR; any non-essential cookies are set only where permitted.
3. Cookies we set
| Cookie | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication / session | Keeps you signed in and secures your session | Strictly necessary |
| Theme preference | Remembers light / dark mode | Functional |
This table is a starting point — confirm it matches the cookies actually set in production before relying on it.
4. Third-party cookies
Some service providers we rely on (for example our authentication and payments providers) may set their own cookies when you use related features. Their use of cookies is governed by their own policies.
5. Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of Pulse from working — for example, you may not be able to stay signed in. Guidance for common browsers is available at aboutcookies.org.
