1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are signed in — so you don't have to re-enter it every time.
MedSpaRadar uses a minimal set of cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics that follow you across other websites.
2. Cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| msr_session | Keeps an operator signed in to the MedSpaRadar admin area after entering the admin password. | Essential | 8 hours |
| sb-*-auth-token | Keeps you signed in to your MedSpaRadar account. Set by Supabase, our authentication provider. (Used once subscriber accounts are enabled.) | Essential | Session / 1 week |
| __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Set by Stripe on checkout pages to detect fraudulent activity and ensure secure payment processing. | Essential | 1 year / Session |
| msr_brief | Set when you subscribe to the free weekly Brief, so this browser is recognized as a subscriber and is not asked for your email again on the feed. It stores a yes/no flag only — no email address, and nothing that identifies you. | Essential | 1 year |
| msr_lead | A short-lived signed handle set immediately after you subscribe, so the optional follow-up step can attach your state and role to your own signup. It holds a signed reference, never your email address, and expires on its own. | Essential | 1 hour |
| msr_ref | Set only if you arrive through a referral link from one of our partners (a link beginning /r/). It records which partner introduced you, so we can credit them if you subscribe. It contains a partner code — not your identity — and is never used to track you across other websites. | Functional | 90 days |
Every cookie above is first-party and all but one are essential — strictly necessary to operate the Service: staying signed in, processing payment securely, and remembering that you already subscribed so we stop asking. The single exception is msr_ref, a functional cookie set only if you reach us through a partner referral link; it records a partner code rather than anything about you, and clearing it affects nothing about your use of the Service.
We run no third-party analytics or advertising cookies at all. We removed Google Analytics rather than ask you to accept it: our page-view measurement (Vercel Analytics) is cookieless, our search data comes from Google Search Console, which reports on our own site rather than tracking you, and everything else we measure is recorded on our own servers against your purchase — never in your browser. So there is nothing here to consent to, which is the point.
3. What we do not use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies
- No third-party analytics cookies that track you across other sites
- No social media tracking pixels
- No fingerprinting or device identification beyond what Stripe uses for fraud prevention
4. Managing cookies

Disabling essential cookies will prevent you from signing in or completing checkout.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add features that use additional cookies. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
