Cookie Policy
Last Updated: June 14, 2026
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies and local browser storage (such as `localStorage` parameters) are small data files saved directly to your computer or mobile device when you visit websites. They are widely utilized to keep sites operational, remember user inputs across pages, and provide anonymous performance metrics.
This policy documents how Mistley Kids Club Ltd utilizes cookies and local storage tokens to deliver secure after school and holiday club dashboard features.
2. How We Use Cookies
We classify cookies and local storage variables into three primary categories depending on their technical purpose and operational context:
- Essential & Security (Strictly Necessary): These cookies are vital to establish secure authentication tokens (via Supabase Auth) and manage date-reservation locks. The portal cannot operate without these variables; therefore, they are active by default and cannot be disabled.
- Analytical & Performance: These cookies record anonymous logs of visitor activity, trace website navigation pathways, and help us improve page loading speeds. They do not capture identifiable details.
- Functional Preferences: These parameters remember parent filter selections (such as selected program dates, child options, and layout tabs), ensuring a smooth, tailored experience on future visits.
3. Cookie Inventory
Below is an audited list of the specific cookies and local storage parameters deployed across our website and portal interfaces:
| Name / Key | Category | Storage Type | Duration | Description & Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sb-access-token | Essential | Cookie (HTTPS Only) | Session | Validates secure parent, staff, or admin session credentials in Supabase Auth. |
| mkc_parent_session | Essential | localStorage | Persistent | Remembers the parent ID of the active login session to coordinate local page routing. |
| mkc_session | Essential | localStorage | Session | Caches role attributes (Admin or playworker) to securely render dashboard control layouts. |
| mkc_cookie_consent | Essential | localStorage | 1 Year | Stores your configurations and consents for analytical and functional cookie permissions. |
| mkc_parent_resets | Essential | localStorage | Persistent | Safeguards reset password credentials for offline-fallback parent logins. |
