Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the web dashboard. They let us recognise you, remember your preferences and improve your user experience.

Cookies on their own do not contain personally identifiable information, but they may be linked to personal information you provide voluntarily.

1.1 Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary: the dashboard cannot work without them. They do not require your consent.
Preferences: they remember choices you made yourself, such as the language.
Referral attribution: a single cookie that notes an affiliate's code so a purchase can be credited to them.
Analytics, marketing or tracking: we do not use them. Roody does not load third-party analytics or advertising cookies.

Every cookie in the list is first-party (the roody.es domain). No third party drops cookies from our pages: Discord and the payment provider can only do so on their own domains, when we send you there.

2. Cookies we use

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These are indispensable for the dashboard to work. They are exempt from consent because the service you asked for cannot be delivered without them:

Name	Purpose	Duration	Set by
`roody.dashboard.sid`	Session identifier: it keeps you logged in to the dashboard.	24 hours	Roody
`roody_cookie_consent`	Stores whether you accepted or rejected the attribution cookie, so we do not ask again.	1 year	Roody
`roody_checkout_return`	Remembers which page to send you back to when you log in halfway through a purchase.	10 minutes	Roody

CSRF protection does not use a cookie: the token travels in the session and in the form itself.

2.2 Preference cookies

They remember choices you made yourself:

Name	Purpose	Duration	Set by
`lang`	The language you picked in the selector.	1 year	Roody
`roody_promo_hidden`	Remembers that you closed the promotion bar so we do not show it again.	30 days	Roody
`roody_news_seen`	Which batch of release notes you have already seen, so the notice does not repeat.	1 year	Roody
`roody_news_off`	Only stored if you tick «do not show again» on the release-notes notice.	1 year	Roody

2.3 Referral attribution cookie

Name	Purpose	Duration	Set by
`roody_ref`	Stores the affiliate code you arrived with, so the commission can be credited to them if you end up subscribing. It is only created if you arrive through a link carrying a code.	30 days	Roody

This cookie is not needed to use Roody and is not installed until you accept it. We only ask you about it if you arrive through a link carrying a referral code; if you reject, or you do not arrive through such a link, it is never created. You can delete it from your browser at any time without losing any feature.

Changed your mind? Both your decision and the attribution cookie are deleted, and we will ask you again next time it is needed.

2.4 Analytics cookies

We do not use analytics cookies or third-party measurement cookies (no Google Analytics or similar), no advertising cookies, and we do not build profiles with them. If we add them in the future, we will update this policy and ask for your prior consent.

3. Managing cookies

3.1 Control from your browser

Every browser lets you configure how cookies are used. See the official instructions:

3.2 Consequences of disabling cookies

Important

Strictly necessary: you will not be able to log in and the dashboard will stop working.
Preferences: the dashboard still works, but it forgets your language and shows you again the notices you had closed.
Attribution: nothing changes for you; the affiliate who referred you simply will not be credited.

4. Third-party services

No third party sets cookies on Roody's pages. We do send you to external services which, once on their domains, use their own and are governed by their policies:

4.1 Discord OAuth

Purpose: authentication and authorisation to access the dashboard.
Data collected: user ID, username, avatar and server list.
Privacy policy: discord.com/privacy

4.2 Stripe

Purpose: processing payments for premium subscriptions.
Data collected: whatever you provide at the Stripe checkout (Roody does not see your card details).
Privacy policy: stripe.com/privacy

5. Updates to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect:

Changes in the cookies we use.
New dashboard features.
Changes in legal regulation.
Improvements to our services.

When we do, we will change the "last updated" date and notify significant changes from the dashboard.
