This Cookie Policy explains how Synup uses cookies and similar technologies on the website, app, and related business tools.
As of the date above, Synup uses essential cookies and similar technologies that are reasonably necessary to authenticate users, maintain secure sessions, support sign-in flows, and protect the service. We do not describe non-essential analytics or advertising cookies as active on the service at this time.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a browser. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, SDKs, or security challenge technologies that help a service remember state, secure a session, or support feature delivery.
2. Categories We Currently Use
Synup currently relies on a limited set of essential cookie categories:
- Account authentication cookies to keep signed-in consumer, business, and admin users authenticated and secure.
- Sign-in flow cookies to preserve short-lived state, redirect, or intent information during Google authentication flows.
- Security technologies to help protect public-facing forms and reduce abuse.
3. Why We Use Them
These technologies are used for essential service purposes such as:
- signing you in and keeping your session active;
- protecting sign-in flows from tampering or replay;
- remembering short-lived redirect or intent state during authentication; and
- supporting account and platform security.
4. Cookie Characteristics
- Some cookies are session-based and expire when the relevant browser session ends.
- Authentication cookies may remain for a limited period so you can stay signed in until they expire, are revoked, you sign out, or you clear them.
- OAuth state, redirect, and similar sign-in flow cookies are generally short-lived and are intended to expire shortly after the sign-in flow completes or is abandoned.
- Where appropriate, cookies are configured with security controls such as `HttpOnly`, `Secure` in production, and restrictive `SameSite` settings.
Exact cookie names may vary by environment because production may use host-prefixed cookie names for additional security.
5. Third-Party and Similar Technologies
We also use third-party services in connection with the product, including Google authentication flows and Cloudflare Turnstile on public support surfaces. Those providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies as part of security or sign-in flows, subject to their own policies.
6. What We Are Not Currently Using
As of the date above, we do not describe the service as currently using:
- non-essential analytics cookies;
- cross-site advertising cookies;
- behavioral advertising pixels; or
- personalized ads cookies.
7. Your Browser Choices
You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting essential cookies may prevent sign-in or core product features from functioning correctly.
Third-party providers that support sign-in or anti-abuse functions may also make controls available through their own policies, settings, or browser-based tools.
8. Future Changes
If Synup later adds non-essential analytics, advertising, or personalization technologies, we will update this Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy and provide any consent or preference controls required by applicable law before those technologies are activated.
