Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how [COMPANY_NAME](“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit Models Around Me. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (stored for a set period). Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage may be used in the same way as cookies and are covered by this policy.
2. How We Use Cookies
The table below lists all cookies currently set on this site, or that may be set once optional categories are enabled.

3. Cookie Categories Explained
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our system. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or filling in forms. They do not store any personally identifiable information. You cannot opt out of these cookies.
Analytics
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve site performance. All data collected is aggregated and anonymized — it cannot be used to identify you individually. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site.
Marketing & Advertising
Marketing cookies may be set by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you may see less targeted advertising.
4. How to Control Cookies
Via our consent banner
When you first visit the site a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or open the “Customize” panel to choose individual categories. You can revisit your choices at any time by clearing the cookie_consent cookie in your browser — the banner will reappear on your next visit.
Via your browser
Most browsers let you refuse, delete, or be notified about cookies. The links below take you to the official instructions for each browser:
Note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies (such as the authentication session cookie) will prevent you from logging in and may break core site functionality.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control how those third parties use cookies. Currently active third-party services:
- Supabase — authentication infrastructure. Supabase Privacy Policy
If analytics or marketing services are enabled in future, this section will be updated to list them along with links to their respective privacy policies.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there is no consistent industry standard for how sites should respond to DNT signals, we do not currently alter our data collection practices based on DNT headers. You can use our consent banner to limit which non-essential cookies are set.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable law. When we make material changes we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.
