TCMThrive takes a minimal approach to cookies and local storage. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies. Our goal is to provide a useful directory service while collecting as little data as possible.
TCMThrive uses only the following types of cookies:
| Cookie / Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-* | Supabase authentication session (required for practitioner login and dashboard access) | Session / 1 week |
| tcm-lang | Language preference (English or Chinese) set by the user | Persistent (localStorage) |
| tcm-location | Last-used location for distance-based search (if user granted permission) | Session (sessionStorage) |
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling the Supabase authentication cookie ( sb-*) will prevent you from logging into the practitioner dashboard. Clearing localStorage will reset your language preference to English.

If we change our cookie practices in the future, we will update this page. The date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised.
