COOKIE POLICY
Last updated June 07, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Cosmo Society ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) to recognize you when you visit our website at https://demo.cosmosociety.org ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to site operators.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Cosmo Society) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." We also use related technologies such as browser local storage, which stores small amounts of data on your device. For the purposes of this policy, we treat these technologies the same way as cookies.
Why do we use cookies?
We currently use only cookies and local storage that are strictly necessary for our Website to function, or that support core functionality you have asked for. We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not sell or share your information with advertising networks.
The cookies and storage we use
Authentication (strictly necessary)
These are set only when you are signed in, and are required to keep you securely logged in. The Website cannot provide a logged-in experience without them.
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
access_token | Cookie | Maintains your authenticated session |
refresh_token | Cookie | Allows your session to be securely renewed without re-entering your password |
cosmo_sid | Cookie | Identifies your active session |
auth_time | Local storage | Records when you authenticated, to manage session validity |
Functional (first-party)
These are set by our own Website and support core functionality and your experience on the platform. They do not track you across other websites.
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
__r | Local storage | Keeps track of what content and pages you are viewing |
__s | Local storage | Supports content and view state while you use the platform |
feed-pos:main:general | Local storage | Remembers your position in your feed so it can be restored |
Payments (strictly necessary, third-party)
When you choose to manage a subscription or make a payment, you are taken to our payment processor, Stripe. Stripe sets its own cookies to process the payment securely and to help prevent fraud. These are only set in connection with payment activity. You can read Stripe's cookie and privacy information at https://stripe.com/privacy.
Error monitoring
We use Sentry to detect and diagnose technical errors so we can keep the Website stable and fix problems. We use Sentry only for error and performance monitoring. We do not use session recording or session replay, and Sentry is not used to track your activity for advertising or profiling. More information is available at https://sentry.io/privacy/.
Do I need to consent to these?
Because the cookies and storage described above are either strictly necessary to operate the Website, required to process payments you have requested, or support core functionality, they do not require prior consent under applicable law. We do not set any advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If this changes in the future — for example, if we introduce analytics or other non-essential cookies — we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent before setting them.
How can I control cookies?
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies and to clear local storage. If you choose to remove or block the cookies and storage described above, some parts of the Website — including the ability to stay logged in — may not work properly.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The date at the top indicates when it was last updated. Please revisit it regularly to stay informed.
