Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use a limited number of "strictly necessary" cookies to ensure our website functions correctly. These are essential for:

• Authentication: Keeping you logged in (provided by Supabase).
• Security: Protecting against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF).

We do not use cookies for advertising, re-targeting, or third-party tracking. Because we only use essential cookies, we do not require a cookie consent banner.

Statement of Non-Applicability: Cookie Consent

Linedot Inc uses only Strictly Necessary Cookies required for the proper functioning of the application (e.g., authentication tokens via Supabase and security session identifiers). We do not deploy advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics cookies.

In accordance with the ePrivacy Directive (Art. 5(3)) and GDPR, prior consent (a banner) is not required for strictly necessary cookies. Therefore, a cookie banner is not implemented.
