Last updated: August 23, 2026. This policy applies to every board in the Outbid network and explains what cookies we set, why, and how to control them. Under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use two kinds: strictly necessary cookies that the network cannot work without, and analytics cookies that help us understand how our boards are used — the latter only after you accept them.
These keep the site working and secure. They don’t require consent and can’t be switched off in our consent tool.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
outbid_consent | Records your cookie consent choice so we don’t ask again. | 1 year |
next-auth.session-token / __Secure-next-auth.session-token | Keeps you signed in to your account across pages. | 30 days |
next-auth.csrf-token | Protects forms from cross-site request forgery. | Browser session |
next-auth.callback-url | Remembers where to return you after signing in. | Browser session |
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate usage — which boards are popular, where visitors come from, how they move around. These cookies are set only after you click “Accept analytics” on the consent bar. Choosing “Essential only” means none of them are set.
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique visitors. | 2 years |
_gid | Distinguishes users within a short period. | 1 day |
_ga_<ID> | Persists session state for the analytics property. | 2 years |
_gat | Throttles request rate. | 1 minute |
