Cookie Policy
MyKavo uses a small number of cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how people find our marketing pages. This page explains exactly what we use, why, and how you can control it.
Last updated: July 17, 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember things between page loads and between visits - for example, that you are signed in, or which theme you prefer. Some information can also be kept in your browser's localStorage, which works similarly but is never sent to our servers automatically. This policy covers both, so you get the complete picture.
What MyKavo uses
MyKavo (operated by Dakshesh Babu, reachable at support@mykavo.app) uses three small groups of cookies and browser storage. That is the full list - there is nothing else.
| Group | What it is | Purpose | Where it applies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential (required) | Better Auth session cookie; a "trust this device" cookie if you enable two-factor authentication | Keeps you signed in securely, protects your account, and (if you choose) remembers a device you trust so you are not asked for a two-factor code every time | The MyKavo app (dashboard). Cannot be disabled - see below. |
| Preferences | Theme choice (light or dark) stored in localStorage - not a cookie | Remembers how you like the interface to look | Your browser only. It is never sent to our servers. |
| Analytics | Google Analytics 4 cookies (names beginning with _ga) | Helps us understand overall traffic to our public marketing pages - which pages people visit and roughly where visits come from | Public marketing pages only (homepage, pricing, blog, and similar). The dashboard you use after signing in has no analytics cookies at all. |
Essential authentication cookies
When you sign in, MyKavo sets a session cookie so the app knows the requests it receives are coming from you. If you turn on two-factor authentication and tick "trust this device", we set one additional cookie so that device can skip the code prompt for a while. These cookies contain a session identifier, not your password, and they are strictly necessary for the service to work. Because of that, they cannot be switched off while you use MyKavo.
Theme preference
Your light or dark theme choice is saved in localStorage in your own browser. It is not a cookie, it does not identify you, and it never leaves your device. Clearing your browser's site data will simply reset the theme to its default.
Analytics on marketing pages
We use Google Analytics 4 on our public marketing pages to see aggregate traffic - how many people visit, which pages they read, and which channels bring them here. This helps us decide what content to improve. Google Analytics sets cookies whose names begin with _ga. We use this data only in aggregate; we do not use it to build advertising profiles, and it is not present anywhere inside the signed-in dashboard.
What we do not do
- No advertising cookies and no advertising networks of any kind.
- No cross-site tracking or retargeting pixels.
- No selling or renting of your data to anyone, ever.
- No analytics cookies inside the dashboard where you manage your websites.
How to control cookies
You can manage cookies directly in your browser. Every major browser lets you view, block, and delete cookies for individual sites:
- Chrome:Settings, then "Privacy and security", then "Third-party cookies" and "Site settings".
- Safari:Settings, then "Privacy", then "Manage Website Data".
- Firefox:Settings, then "Privacy & Security", under "Cookies and Site Data".
- Edge:Settings, then "Cookies and site permissions".
If you want to opt out of Google Analytics everywhere, Google provides a browser add-on for that, and most browsers' tracking-protection features will block _ga cookies as well. Blocking analytics cookies has no effect on how MyKavo works for you.
What happens if you block essential cookies
If your browser blocks or deletes the essential session cookie, MyKavo cannot keep you signed in. You will be able to browse the public marketing pages normally, but you will be signed out of the dashboard and will need to allow cookies for mykavo.app to sign back in. There is no workaround for this - it is how secure sign-in works.
Changes to this policy
If we add, remove, or change the cookies MyKavo uses, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above. Because our approach is deliberately minimal, we expect changes to be rare. Significant changes that affect signed-in users will also be communicated by email.
