Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 7, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how WickLog ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar browser-side tracking technologies on https://wicklog.in ("Service"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
This Policy is maintained in accordance with the Information Technology Act, 2000, the IT (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to recognise your device and session across visits and are used for authentication, preference storage, and analytics.
Related technologies used by WickLog:
- Browser
localStorage— Persistent key-value storage used for authentication session tokens - Browser
sessionStorage— Temporary session-scoped storage used during OAuth flows - Tracking Pixels — Small image requests used by analytics providers to record page visits
2. Categories of Cookies and Storage
2.1 Strictly Necessary — Authentication and Session
These are essential for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled without preventing login and core functionality. No consent is required for these under applicable law.
| Key / Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-[project-ref]-auth-token | Supabase | Stores your JWT authentication session (access + refresh tokens) to keep you logged in | Until logout or token expiry |
sidebar_state | WickLog | Remembers whether the application sidebar is open or closed | Up to 7 days |
These are stored in browser localStorage (Supabase tokens) and a browser cookie (sidebar_state).
2.2 Analytics and Performance
These cookies help WickLog understand how users interact with the Service, enabling improvements to performance and user experience. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymised before any reporting or analysis.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics 4 | Assigns a unique random identifier to distinguish returning users | 2 years |
_ga_[MEASUREMENT_ID] | Google Analytics 4 | Maintains GA4 session state | 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users between day-level sessions | 24 hours |
Google processes analytics data in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. WickLog has enabled IP anonymisation in the GA4 configuration so that full IP addresses are not stored by Google.
2.3 Third-Party Authentication
These are set by Google during the OAuth sign-in flow.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
g_state | Maintains Google One-Tap or OAuth sign-in state | Session | |
G_AUTHUSER_H | Stores the active Google OAuth user index | Session |
2.4 Advertising (Google AdSense)
WickLog may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. These cookies enable Google to deliver targeted advertisements based on your browsing history and interests across sites in Google's ad network.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
DSID | Google DoubleClick | Ad serving and cross-site conversion measurement | 14 days |
IDE | Google DoubleClick | Personalised ad delivery across the Google Display Network | 13 months |

NID | Stores preferences and enables ad personalisation | 6 months |
You can opt out of personalised advertising through Google's Ad Settings.
3. Browser localStorage and sessionStorage Usage
These are not traditional HTTP cookies and cannot be cleared through the cookie management tools in most browsers. They are cleared when you log out of the Service or use browser developer tools.
| Key | Storage Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supabase auth tokens | localStorage | Stores your login session (JWT access + refresh tokens) | Until logout or token expiry |
zerodha_auth_user_id | sessionStorage | Temporarily stores your WickLog user ID during the Zerodha OAuth callback flow to associate the incoming token with your account | Tab session only — cleared on tab close |
4. Managing Cookie Preferences
4.1 Browser Cookie Controls
You may control, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Refer to your browser's support documentation:
Important: Blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies (Supabase auth tokens and
localStorageentries) will prevent you from logging in to the Service.
4.2 Opt Out of Google Analytics
Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent GA4 from collecting your usage data across all sites.
4.3 Opt Out of Google Ad Personalisation
- Manage ad preferences at Google Ad Settings
- Use the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool
- Use the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out
4.4 Do Not Track
WickLog does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals, as no uniform standard for compliance exists. We will update this Policy if a recognised standard is adopted.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notice before they take effect. The "Last Updated" date on this page reflects the date of the most recent revision.
