This Cookie Policy (this "Policy") explains how MyPeriod ("MyPeriod," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit https://myperiod.me and related marketing pages (the "Website"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
The progressive web application at https://myperiod.me/app/ primarily relies on session mechanisms necessary for authentication; this Policy focuses on technologies used across the Website and, where applicable, the Service.
1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
"Cookies" are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use functionally similar technologies, including:
- Local storage (e.g., browser
localStorage) to remember preferences such as cookie consent choices and theme settings; - Session storage for temporary in-browser data;
- Server-side session identifiers (e.g., PHP session cookies) to maintain authenticated sessions; and
- Service worker caches associated with our progressive web application for offline and performance functionality.
References to "cookies" in this Policy include these technologies unless otherwise stated.
2. Legal Basis
Under the GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, UK PECR, and Swiss telecommunications and data protection law:
- Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies are deployed based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functional Service and/or because they are essential to a service you request;
- Non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics) are deployed only where you have provided prior consent via our cookie banner or equivalent mechanism.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Website and Service. They cannot be disabled through our cookie banner without impairing core functionality. They are typically session-based or short-lived.
| Name / Key | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID (or equivalent session cookie) | MyPeriod | Maintains your authenticated session after login; enables secure access to account features | Session / as configured server-side |
| cookie-consent (localStorage) | MyPeriod | Records whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies | Persistent until cleared |
| myperiod-theme (localStorage) | MyPeriod | Stores light/dark mode preference in the application | Persistent until cleared |
| Service worker cache | MyPeriod | Enables PWA installation, offline assets, and performance | Until cache is cleared or updated |
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies (Optional)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our marketing Website (not for selling data or profiling for third-party advertising). They are placed only if you click "Accept all" on our cookie banner. If you select "Necessary only," analytics cookies are not activated.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google LLC | Distinguishes users for aggregated usage statistics | 2 years (typical) |
| _ga_* | Google LLC | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4 | 2 years (typical) |
| _gid | Google LLC | Distinguishes users for shorter-term analytics | 24 hours (typical) |
Google Analytics measurement ID: G-EL6VF7KM7K. Google's processing is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. Where required, we configure analytics to respect consent and applicable data protection requirements.
4. What We Do Not Do
- We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies to sell your Health Data or personal information;
- We do not permit third-party ad networks to collect data through the Service for cross-site tracking;
- We do not load Google Analytics on the Website unless you have accepted non-essential cookies (see our implementation on marketing and legal pages).
5. Managing Your Preferences
5.1. Cookie banner. On your first visit to our marketing Website, a banner allows you to accept all cookies or limit processing to necessary cookies only.
5.2. Browser controls. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent login and core Service functionality.
5.3. Resetting consent. To change your analytics preference, clear site data or localStorage for https://myperiod.me and revisit the Website; the banner will reappear.
5.4. Google Analytics opt-out. You may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (where available).
5.5. Do Not Track. We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals in a standardized manner; our consent banner remains the primary mechanism for optional analytics.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies may be set only as described in Section 3.2 (Google Analytics, with consent). We do not control third-party providers' practices; we encourage you to review their policies.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated as required by law.
