Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Flipazine, operated by Aqua Fusion Media Ltd, uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences (such as staying signed in) over time. We also use closely related technologies such as your browser's local storage in the same spirit. In this policy we refer to all of these as “cookies”.
2. How we use cookies
We keep our use of cookies to a minimum. Today, essentially all of the cookies we set are strictly necessary to run the Service securely — we do not use advertising cookies, and we do not currently run any third-party analytics or tracking. If that ever changes, non-essential cookies will only be set with your consent, which you can give or withdraw using the preferences control below.
3. The cookies we use
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
next-auth.session-token (and related NextAuth cookies) | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in and secures your session. | Session / up to 30 days |
wa_challenge | Strictly necessary | A short-lived security token used while registering or signing in with a passkey. | 5 minutes |
flipazine-consent | Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie choices so we don't ask again. | 1 year |
flipazine-theme (local storage) | Strictly necessary | Remembers your light/dark theme preference. Stored in your browser, not sent to us. | Until cleared |
| Stripe cookies | Strictly necessary | Set by Stripe on their checkout pages to process payments securely and prevent fraud. | Varies (set by Stripe) |
| Analytics | Optional (consent) | None in use today. Reserved for future analytics that measure how the site is used; only set if you consent. | — |
4. Managing your preferences
You can review and change your choices at any time using the button below or the “Cookie preferences” link in the site footer.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will stop parts of the Service — such as signing in — from working. For more on managing cookies, see aboutcookies.org.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. If we introduce non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent before setting them.
