Cookie Policy for Raven's DevLink

Last updated: September 10, 2026

Effective Date: September 10, 2026

Last Updated: September 10, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Raven's DevLink ("we", "us", or "our"), accessible at https://dev-link.net, uses cookies, local storage, and similar web technologies when you access our platform, website, or developer dashboard.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies

Small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly, improve security, and provide basic operational information.

Local Storage (HTML5 / Session Storage)

Web storage technologies that allow websites to store key-value data directly in your browser. This data persists across page reloads and is used to maintain your logged-in session, interface state, and UI theme preferences without sending unnecessary data over network requests.

2. How We Use Cookies and Storage Technologies

Raven's DevLink is designed with a privacy-first approach. We do not use invasive third-party cross-site advertising trackers, behavioral profiling cookies, or data broker pixels (such as Meta Pixel or third-party ad networks).

We use Strictly Necessary and Functional technologies only:

  • Authentication & Session Management: To verify who you are, keep you securely signed in while navigating your game dashboards, and protect your account from Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF).
  • Security & Bot Mitigation: To detect and prevent automated spam bots, brute-force login attempts, and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks on our API endpoints.
  • Interface Preferences: To remember your dashboard UI configurations, sidebar open/collapsed status, active project filters, and selected theme (dark/light mode).

3. Categories of Technologies Deployed

A. Strictly Necessary Storage (Essential)

These tokens and identifiers are technically required for the platform to operate. You cannot disable them without causing authentication and dashboard routing to fail.

Name / KeyProviderPurposeType / Lifespan
sb-[project-ref]-auth-tokenSupabase AuthSecure JSON Web Token (JWT) used to authenticate your developer account and authorize API requests to the database.Local Storage (Persistent until sign-out or token expiry)
__cf_bm / cf_clearanceCloudflareManages incoming web traffic, mitigates automated bots, and verifies human requests to protect our infrastructure.HTTP Cookie (30 minutes to 1 year)
__stripe_mid / __stripe_sidStripeUsed by Stripe's embedded payment components and billing portal to identify customer sessions and process secure checkout transactions without fraud.HTTP Cookie / Local Storage (Session to 1 year)

B. Functional Storage (Preferences)

These keys store your personalized settings inside the app to improve workflow efficiency.

active_game_idRaven's DevLinkRemembers the last active game project selected in your dashboard dropdown for quick switching.Local Storage (Persistent)

4. Third-Party Services

Certain third-party service providers host components necessary for our service infrastructure:

  • Cloudflare Inc.: Provides DNS routing, SSL certificates, edge security, and bot mitigation cookies.
  • Supabase Inc.: Stores authentication tokens in local browser storage to manage your secure session.
  • Stripe Inc.: When opening the billing portal or upgrading subscriptions, Stripe sets essential anti-fraud and session identifiers.

We do not allow these third-party providers to use data collected via our website for their own independent marketing or public model training.

5. Managing and Controlling Cookies

Because our platform relies strictly on essential technical and functional storage, a consent-blocking banner is not legally mandated under EU ePrivacy / GDPR regulations (as no marketing or profiling trackers are deployed).

However, you can manage or clear cookies and local storage directly through your browser settings:

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies / Site data.
  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
  • Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.

Please note: Clearing or blocking essential authentication tokens will sign you out and prevent you from accessing the developer dashboard.

6. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may revise this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our operational architecture, security upgrades, or legal requirements. The latest version will always be accessible at https://dev-link.net/cookies.
