What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — like your preferences, sign-in state, and consent choices — across pages and between visits.
Legal basis
Our use of cookies is based on:
- Legitimate interest for strictly necessary cookies (no consent required)
- Your explicit consent for functional and analytics cookies (opt-in via our cookie banner)
You can withdraw consent at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in our footer.
How we use cookies
We use cookies in three categories. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. The other two categories are opt-in and can be managed through the Cookie Preferences control in our footer.
Strictly necessary
Required for the Service to function. Without these, you cannot sign in, save preferences, or use core features. No consent is required; they cannot be disabled. This category includes cookies required to record your consent choices, which is itself a legal compliance requirement.
Functional
Remember your preferences across sessions (theme, units, language). Improve usability but are not required for the Service to operate.
Analytics
Help us understand how the Service is used in aggregate so we can improve it. Data is pseudonymised and used for aggregate analysis only.
Specific cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-access-token | Authentication session token | 1 hour (refreshed) | Strictly necessary |
sb-refresh-token | Authentication refresh token | 30 days | Strictly necessary |
lydmera-cookie-consent | Records your cookie consent choices to comply with GDPR / ePrivacy requirements | 6 months | Strictly necessary |
lydmera-theme | Your light/dark theme preference | 12 months | Functional |
lydmera-units | Your metric/imperial unit preference | 12 months | Functional |
Cookies set by subprocessors
Some of our subprocessors may set their own cookies when you use the Service:
- Payment processor — fraud prevention and payment session management. Cookies are set on pages where payment functionality is loaded, including checkout.
- Hosting provider — strictly necessary cookies for delivery and security of the Service. Includes session and security tokens.
- Analytics provider [TBD] — pseudonymised usage tracking, only if you have consented to the Analytics category.
Additional security and infrastructure cookies may be set by our hosting provider and CDN to protect against fraud, attacks, and abuse. These are strictly necessary for security.
For a named list of our current subprocessors and links to their respective cookie policies, email privacy@lydmera.com.

Managing consent on Lydmera
You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in our footer. Your choices are stored in the lydmera-cookie-consent cookie for 6 months, after which you will be asked again.
Global Privacy Control
We respect Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of non-essential cookies.
