Health and Kind uses cookies for account access and to give signed-out browsers separate daily chat allowances. Reading public pages does not create a chat-usage cookie. Your settings, browser chats and local drafts use browser storage, not cookies. Account chat saving is paused. Signing in does not copy your conversations to another browser or device.
What are cookies and local storage?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. The browser sends them back to the site with each request. Local storage is a separate place in your browser where a site can save information. The browser does not send it to the site with each request.
The cookies we use
Account cookies
Only when you use an account- sb-…-auth-token
- Keeps you signed in to your account. Set by Supabase, our sign-in provider, only after you sign in.Duration: Up to 400 days, or until you sign out
- sb-…-auth-token-code-verifier
- Set by Supabase when you sign up or ask for a password reset, so the link we email you can be confirmed in the same browser.Duration: Up to 400 days, or until the link is used
- hk_pw_reset
- Remembers that you asked for a password reset, so the emailed link takes you to the page where you set a new password.Duration: 1 hour, or until the link is used
- hk_pw_reset_ok
- Set when a reset link brings you to the new-password page. The page shows its form only while this is present.Duration: 10 minutes, or until the new password is saved
The middle of the name is the identifier of our Supabase project. A long sign-in value can be split across cookies whose names end in .0, .1 and so on.
Signed-out chat allowance
- hk_quota_browser
- Set when you send a valid chat request while signed out. A random, signed identifier keeps your daily allowance separate from other browsers on the same internet connection. It contains no name, account, IP address or chat text. It is sent only to this site's chat endpoint, cannot be read by page scripts, and expires at the next midnight UTC. No advertising or cross-site tracking is involved. Broader network and site limits still protect the service. The application does not log this cookie or link it to your message text or account. We cannot make the same promise for the host's own request records; Netlify may keep request information separately, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Previous account chat working copies
Account saving is paused. Working copies from previous use may remain under separate account-specific keys. Browser clearing removes these local copies, not any data previously saved with our service.
- hk-account-chat:<account>:<chat>:<tab>
- A local working copy, unsent draft and pending save for this account and tab. Unsent drafts are not synced
- hk-account-chat:<account>:<chat>:<tab>:copy
- Keeps the chosen separate-copy operation stable if a save needs retrying
- hk-account-chat:<account>:import:<browser-chat>
- Keeps an explicitly selected import and its retry identity. An unfinished import includes the selected transcript; a confirmed import keeps its mapping without that text
- hk-account-chat:<account>:deleted:<chat>
- Tells other tabs to close a deleted account chat
- hk-account-tab
- A random identifier for this tab, in session storage. It separates local working copies and is cleared when the tab closes
You can delete what you have written from the Memory page, or by clearing your browser data. This does not delete any data previously saved with our service. Account saving and account-chat controls are paused. See our Privacy Policy for storage, AI processing and how to request access or deletion of previously saved account data.
Analytics and advertising cookies
The code of this site loads no analytics or advertising script, and sets no analytics or advertising cookie. Fonts are served from the site itself.
Third-party cookies
There are none. The two Supabase cookies above are created by the sign-in software of Supabase and are set on this site's own domain, as are the reset and chat-allowance cookies. We take no payments, so there is no payment cookie.
How to control cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. If you block the sign-in cookie you cannot stay signed in. Kind Mind can be used without signing in.
