1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They allow websites to store user preferences and information, authenticate users, and collect analytical data about your browsing experience.
2. How We Use Cookies
SuperDebate uses cookies and similar technologies for various purposes, including:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function properly. They keep you signed in to your account, enable page navigation, and provide access to secure areas. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the Platform cannot function properly without them.
Security Cookies
Our sign-in and sign-up forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a bot-protection service. Turnstile may set cookies while it verifies that you are a real person. These cookies exist only to keep automated abuse off the Platform.
Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use the Platform. It is a privacy-friendly service that works without cookies: it does not set tracking cookies, does not build user profiles, and reports only anonymous, aggregated data.
Marketing Cookies
We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. There are no third-party ad trackers on the Platform.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Session Cookies
These cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. They enable core functionality such as user authentication and session management.

First-Party Cookies
These cookies are set directly by SuperDebate and can only be read by our Platform.
Third-Party Cookies
These cookies are set by service providers we use to run the Platform, such as Cloudflare, which protects our sign-in forms from bots. We do not allow third-party advertising cookies on the Platform.
