Cookie Policy

Essential Cookies

Required for the Platform to function. These include authentication session cookies (set by Supabase) that keep you logged in. You cannot opt out of these cookies and still use the Platform.

Examples: sb-…-auth-token (your sign-in session); dv_agr_… (only while an institution's signatory completes an agreement)

Functional Cookies

Used to remember your preferences such as study settings, UI state, and last-visited sections. These improve your experience but are not strictly necessary. Most are kept in your browser's local storage rather than in cookies, and never leave your device.

Examples (local storage): saved items, study progress, whether you have seen the free-trial welcome

Analytics

We record usage events — pages visited and features used — in our own database to understand how the Platform is used and improve it. No third-party analytics vendor receives them (see the Privacy Policy). This uses a random session identifier kept in your browser's session storage, which is cleared when you close the tab, and a note of how you first arrived (for example, from a campaign link) kept in local storage. When you are signed in, these events are linked to your account. We also use Vercel Web Analytics for anonymous page-view and performance counts; it does not set cookies.

Examples: dv_sid (session storage); dv_attr_first, dv_attr_last (local storage)

Third-Party Cookies — Stripe

Stripe may set cookies during the payment process to detect fraud and ensure secure transactions. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Cookies — YouTube (Video Library)

The Video Library embeds YouTube videos using YouTube's privacy-enhanced iframe player (youtube-nocookie.com). In this mode, no cookies are set and no data is sent to YouTube when the page loads. Cookies and tracking are only activated when you actively press play on a video.

Once playback is initiated, YouTube (Google LLC) may set cookies related to video playback, language preferences, and — if you are signed in to Google in the same browser — cookies linked to your Google account. These cookies are governed by Google's Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy. Dentalverse does not control or read YouTube cookies.

Tip: to prevent any YouTube tracking, simply avoid pressing play on embedded videos, or sign out of Google in the browser you use for Dentalverse.
