Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 June 2026
This policy explains what cookies Waevin uses, why we use them, and how you can manage them. We keep our use of cookies to a minimum.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the platform to function. You cannot disable them. Doing so would prevent you from logging in.

| authjs.csrf-token | A security token that prevents cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. Required for all form submissions and authenticated actions. | Session (deleted when browser closes) |
| authjs.callback-url | Records where to redirect you after login completes. Used to return you to the page you were trying to access. | Session (deleted when browser closes) |

Functional cookies
These cookies remember your preferences to improve your experience. They can be disabled, but some features may work less smoothly.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| tcga_prefs | Stores UI preferences such as your preferred listing sort order. | 1 year |
Analytics cookies
Waevin does not currently use any analytics cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or any other behavioural tracking service. If we introduce analytics in the future, we will update this policy and obtain consent before setting any analytics cookies.
Third-party cookies
The only third-party cookies set on Waevin are those placed by Stripe for payment processing and fraud prevention. These cookies are strictly necessary for the checkout to function securely.
Stripe
Stripe sets __stripe_mid and __stripe_sid to detect fraudulent payment activity and maintain session state during the checkout flow. Without these cookies, payments cannot be processed.
View Stripe's cookie policyWe do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads cookies, or any other advertising or retargeting cookies. We will not introduce these without updating this policy and seeking your consent.
How to manage cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to Waevin.
Clearing all cookies will log you out of Waevin. You can log back in and your account data will not be affected.
Cookie consent
When you first visit Waevin, we display a cookie notice explaining that strictly necessary cookies are required for the platform to operate. By continuing to use the site, you consent to strictly necessary cookies being set.
Functional cookies are set only if you interact with features that require them. Since we currently use no analytics or advertising cookies, there is nothing further to consent to.
You can withdraw consent for functional cookies at any time by clearing cookies in your browser settings. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before withdrawal.
Updates to this policy
We will update this Cookie Policy when our use of cookies changes. If we introduce new cookies that require your consent, we will display a new consent notice and, where required by law, notify you by email. The date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last changed.
