Cookie Policy

This policy explains how Bliss uses cookies and similar technologies such as browser local storage. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies and local storage are

A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a similar browser store, but the data stays in your browser and is never sent automatically with every request. Both can be used to remember your preferences or keep you signed in.

2. What we use

Name	Type	Purpose	Lifetime
better-auth.session_token	Strictly necessary cookie	Keeps you signed in after you follow a magic link. HttpOnly and not readable by scripts.	Until your session expires or you sign out
dark-mode	Local storage	Remembers whether you prefer the light or dark version of the site.	Until you clear browser storage
Stripe cookies	Third-party cookie	Set by Stripe on its checkout pages to process your payment and prevent fraud.	Set and controlled by Stripe
YouTube cookies	Third-party cookie	Our video is embedded from youtube-nocookie.com, which does not set tracking cookies before you press play. YouTube may set cookies once the video runs.	Set and controlled by Google/YouTube

3. What we do not use

We do not currently run third-party analytics, advertising or social-media tracking cookies. If that changes, this policy will be updated and, where required, your consent will be requested first.

4. Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking the session cookie will prevent you from signing in and completing a booking, because the booking flow depends on it. Clearing local storage simply resets your theme preference. You can also control Stripe and YouTube cookies through the settings those providers offer.

5. Changes and contact

We may update this policy; the date at the top of the page shows when it last changed. Questions can be sent to hello@bliss-therapy.com.
