Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies PH First uses, and how you can control them when you use our website, browser extension, and related services (together, the "Service"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or login status. Similar technologies, such as local storage, are used for the same purposes.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies. These are required for the core functionality of the Service, such as keeping you signed in, and cannot be switched off in the Service. We do not currently use advertising, analytics, or other tracking cookies.
When you first visit the Service, we ask for your consent before placing a cookie that records your preference.
3. The Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
auth_token | Strictly necessary | Stores your signed-in session token so you do not have to log in again. It is transmitted only to the Service. | 7 days |
pf_auth | Strictly necessary | Marks that a signed-in session exists so the Service can present the correct experience. | 7 days |
cookie-consent | Preference | Records whether you accepted or declined the cookie notice so we do not show it on every visit. | 1 year |
4. Managing and Deleting Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies for individual sites, or block all cookies. If you disable strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Service may not function correctly — for example, you may be signed out or unable to sign in.
