Cookies
Banner version 2026-07-09.v1 · Updated 9 July 2026
UniOps uses a small number of cookies and, on our public website, advertising and analytics tags from Meta (Facebook) and X (Twitter). Essential cookies always load because the Service cannot function without them. Advertising cookies are non-essential and load only with your permission, as described below. These advertising tags also load on signed-in pages, other than inside the embedded desktop shell, subject to the region and consent rules described below.
Essential cookies
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
better-auth.session_token | Keeps you signed in. Set after successful authentication. | 30 days, renewed on activity |
uniops-pending-verify | Authorizes the email-verification polling endpoint between signup and first sign-in. | 24 hours, deleted on session create |
uniops_consent | Records your cookie-banner decision so we don't ask again until policy changes. | 13 months |
uniops_consent_sid | Opaque session ID used to correlate your decision with the server-side consent log. | 13 months |
Advertising cookies (non-essential)
These are set by, or feed data to, Meta and X so we can measure the performance of our advertising. When and whether they load depends on your region and your choice:
- In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, they load only after you click Accept All. If you do not accept, they do not load.
- In the United States and elsewhere, they load by default. You can opt out by sending a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser, which we honor, or by managing advertising preferences in your Meta and X account settings.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_fbp, _fbc (Meta) | Set by the Meta (Facebook) advertising tag to measure whether our ads led to a signup or purchase. | Up to 90 days |
_twclid and related (X) | Set by the X (Twitter) advertising tag to measure ad-driven signups and purchases. | Up to 90 days |
uniops_fbclid, uniops_utm_* | First-party cookies that remember the ad click or campaign that brought you here, so a later signup can be attributed to it. | Up to 90 days |
See Privacy section 6 for what these tags receive and how this may count as "sharing" under some US state laws.
Changing your decision
Your consent decision is stored both in a cookie on your device and as a row in our server-side consent log (so we can prove what you agreed to and when). You can change your mind at any time:
Clicking that link clears the local cookie and reloads the page; on the next visit you'll see the banner again and can pick a new decision. Your previous decisions remain in the server-side log so the change is auditable.
Browser-level controls
You can also block or clear cookies entirely through your browser settings. If you block our essential cookies, the Service will stop working for you (you won't be able to sign in).
