COOKIE POLICY
How we use cookies and similar technologies
Last Updated: October 8, 2026
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 first-party usage events and PostHog to understand how the Platform is used. PostHog can use browser storage and cookies to connect visits and activity. Vercel Analytics provides additional, cookie-free usage measurements.
Marketing Cookies
With your permission, Meta Pixel measures visits to public pages from our Facebook and Instagram ads. It can use cookies such as _fbp and _fbc and share the visited page address, browser and device information, and network information with Meta. Ad measurement stays off until you allow it and is excluded from private account, payment and administration pages.
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.
Persistent Cookies
These cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period or until you delete them manually. They help us recognize you as an existing user, making it easier to return to the Platform or interact with our services.
First-Party Cookies
These cookies are set directly by SuperDebate and can only be read by our Platform.
Third-Party Cookies
Service providers may set cookies for their features. Cloudflare protects our sign-in forms, and Meta may use advertising cookies when you allow ad measurement. Declining ad measurement does not prevent you from using SuperDebate.
4. Specific Cookies We Use
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Keeps you signed in to your SuperDebate account | While you stay signed in | Essential |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Protects sign-in and sign-up forms from bots | Session | Essential |

5. Managing Cookies
Use the ad measurement preference above to allow or decline Meta Pixel in this browser. Declining stops future pixel events and removes accessible Meta cookies set by this site. We also honor Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals. Your choice applies to this browser; you may need to make it again on another device or after clearing browser storage.
You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences through their settings. You can:
- Delete cookies from your device
- Block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse all or some cookies
- Set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie
Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of our Platform, and some services may not function properly.
