Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 7, 2026
In short: we use essential cookies to sign you in and keep checkout secure, and Google Analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. We don't use advertising cookies or sell cookie data.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for a site to work (like keeping you signed in); others measure how a site is used, or track you for advertising. ModForge uses the first two kinds and not the third.
2. Essential cookies
These are strictly necessary. Without them you can't sign in or buy anything, so they can't be switched off:
- Authentication (sb-…) — set by our sign-in provider, Supabase, to keep you signed in and refresh your session securely. Expires when you sign out or the session ends.
- Sign-in security (sb-…-code-verifier) — a short-lived value that protects sign-in with Google or Discord against forgery. Removed once sign-in completes.
3. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people use, so we can improve the site. It sets:
- _ga — distinguishes one browser from another. Expires after 2 years.
- _ga_<ID> — keeps track of your current visit. Expires after 2 years.
Google receives your IP address, device and browser details and the pages you view, and processes them under its own privacy policy. We don't use it for advertising. You can block these cookies in your browser or install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on; the site works fully without them.
4. Payment providers
When you pay, you're taken to Stripe, PayPal or Coinbase Commerce. They set their own cookies on their own sites to process the payment and prevent fraud, under their own cookie policies. The same applies if a seller onboards with Stripe for payouts, or if you sign in with Google or Discord.
5. What we don't use
We don't use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels or cross-site advertising trackers, and we don't sell data collected through cookies.
6. Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies has no effect on how the site works; blocking essential cookies will sign you out and stop checkout from working.
7. More information
See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal data, or email support@modforge.xyz. If we add other non-essential cookies, we'll update this page first.
