Cookie Policy
A comprehensive breakdown of how PulUp uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Complete transparency about what data we collect and why.
Quick Summary
Currently, PulUp uses minimal cookies focused on essential functionality. Here's what's active:
1. What Are Cookies?
OverviewCookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the platform.
PulUp uses cookies responsibly and only when necessary to provide core functionality or improve your experience. We believe in data minimalism - collecting only what's essential.
2. Cookies We Currently Use
Active NowAs of now, PulUp uses only one essential cookie to maintain your authenticated session. No tracking, no analytics, no marketing pixels.
Essential Cookies
Required for core platform functionality. These cannot be disabled.
nhost-sessionStores your authentication session to keep you logged in as you navigate PulUp. This cookie is essential for accessing your account and creating events.
3. Future Cookie Categories
PlannedAs PulUp grows, we may introduce additional cookies to improve the platform. These will require your explicit consent before being activated. Here's what we're considering:
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how users interact with PulUp - which features are most popular, where users encounter friction, and how we can improve the experience.
Preference Cookies
Remember your UI preferences, such as theme selection (dark/light mode), language preferences, or accessibility settings.
Our Commitment: We will never use marketing/targeting cookies, third-party advertising trackers, or sell your data to third parties. Any future cookies will be disclosed here with full transparency.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Your ControlYou have full control over cookies. Here's how to manage them:
1Browser Settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:
- •Block all cookies (note: this will prevent you from logging into PulUp)
- •Delete existing cookies from your device
- •Enable "Do Not Track" signals (we respect these settings)
2PulUp Account Settings (Future)
When we introduce analytics or optional cookies, we'll add a preference center in your account settings where you can enable/disable non-essential cookies with a single click.
3Cookie Consent Banner (Future)
Before activating any analytics or non-essential cookies, we'll implement a consent banner that lets you opt in or out. You'll have full control from your first visit.
5. Technical Implementation
For DevelopersFor transparency, here's how our authentication cookie works:
nhost-sessionNhost authentication service (EU-based infrastructure)HTTP Cookie (accessible to client & server)Lax (CSRF protection)True in production (HTTPS only)False (required for API authentication)Session-based or 30 days (if 'Remember Me' enabled)Note on HttpOnly: While most session cookies use the httpOnly flag for security, our authentication system requires client-side access to attach tokens to API requests. This is a standard practice for modern SPAs (Single Page Applications) and doesn't compromise security when combined with HTTPS and SameSite policies.
6. Legal Basis (GDPR & ePrivacy)
ComplianceUnder the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ePrivacy Directive, here's our legal basis for cookie usage:
Essential Cookies (nhost-session)
Legitimate Interest + Performance of ContractRequired to authenticate users and provide the core service. GDPR Article 6(1)(b) and ePrivacy Directive Recital 66 allow essential cookies without explicit consent.
Future Analytics Cookies
Consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a))Will require explicit opt-in consent via cookie banner before activation. Users can withdraw consent at any time.

- •Email notification to registered users
