Cookie policy
speakapp.work uses no advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, and no audience analytics cookies. Only cookies strictly necessary to operate the service are used, and only if you create a user account.1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer or mobile device by a website you visit. Cookies allow a website to remember information, such as the fact that you are signed in, between visits.
French and EU law (ePrivacy Directive, GDPR, CNIL guidance) distinguishes two main categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for a service specifically requested by the user. Prior consent is not required.
- Non-essential cookies: analytics, advertising, and third-party trackers require the user's prior, explicit consent through a cookie banner.
2. Cookies used by speakapp.work
The following is the complete list of cookies placed by our service:
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Lifetime | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sb-access-token | Supabase (auth) | Keep the user signed in (signed JWT) | 1 hour (automatically rotated via refresh token) | Strictly necessary |
sb-refresh-token | Supabase (auth) | Automatically regenerate the access token without another sign-in | 30 days (revoked after last use) | Strictly necessary |
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Stripe | Fraud prevention during checkout (set only on payment pages) | 1 year (mid) / 30 minutes (sid) | Strictly necessary (payment) |
No other cookies are placed on speakapp.work, in particular:
3. Cookies we do NOT use
- ❌ Google Analytics or other third-party audience measurement software
- ❌ Advertising cookies (Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, etc.)
- ❌ Third-party trackers (Hotjar, Crazy Egg, Mouseflow, etc.)
- ❌ Social media cookies (Share buttons that set cookies even without a click)
- ❌ Retargeting or behavioral profiling cookies
- ❌ Device fingerprinting or other tracking techniques intended to replace cookies
We follow a privacy-first approach: we collect only what is strictly necessary to provide the service and actively minimize that collection.
4. Cookies in the SpeakApp desktop application
The SpeakApp Windows desktop application sets no cookies on your operating system. Its architecture is primarily native Python, with no embedded browser for the main features.
Rare components that use a web view (such as Control Center) use encrypted local storage (Windows DPAPI) instead of ordinary cookies.
5. How to manage or delete cookies
Because only strictly necessary cookies are set, removing them will prevent you from staying signed in and make the service inaccessible until you sign in again. You retain control:
In your browser
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and data stored
For European users
YourOnlineChoices.com allows you to manage cookie preferences collectively across the web.
6. Changes to this policy
If we decide to introduce a non-essential cookie (for example privacy-respecting analytics), we will implement:
- A GDPR/ePrivacy-compliant consent banner with granular choices
- An update to this page with 30 days' prior notice
- An email notification to active subscribers
The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the current version.
7. Your rights and contact
Under GDPR Articles 15 through 22, you have rights concerning your personal data. To exercise them:
- Email: privacy@speakapp.work
- Maximum response time: 30 days
