Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and supply information to site owners.
When you visit the Kansa business dashboard, our servers send cookies to your browser, which stores them locally. On subsequent visits your browser sends the cookies back, allowing us to recognise you and remember your preferences.
Types of Cookies
- Session cookies — Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They help maintain state as you navigate between pages (e.g. keeping you logged in during a single browsing session).
- Persistent cookies — Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. They remember your preferences across visits.
- First-party cookies — Set by the website you are visiting (in this case, Kansa). Only Kansa can read these cookies.
- Third-party cookies — Set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. These are typically used by external services embedded in our pages, such as payment providers.
How We Use Cookies
The Kansa business dashboard uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Authentication — Keeping you signed in so you do not have to re-enter your credentials on every page.
- Preferences — Remembering your language, theme, and dashboard layout choices.
- Security — Protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other common web attacks.
- Analytics — Understanding how the dashboard is used so we can improve the experience for business owners and their teams.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the dashboard to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core features such as authentication and security. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under applicable data-protection law.

|---|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token | Kansa | Authenticates your session after login | 7 days |
| better_auth.session_token | Kansa | Alternative session cookie (production) | 7 days |
| kansa-account-type | Kansa | Identifies account as business type | Session |
| NEXT_LOCALE | Kansa | Stores your language preference | 1 year |
| CSRF tokens | Next.js | Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enhance your experience by remembering choices you make on the dashboard. Disabling them will not prevent you from using the platform, but some preferences may not persist between visits.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theme preference | Kansa | Remembers dark/light mode selection | Persistent |
| Sidebar state | Kansa | Remembers sidebar collapsed/expanded | Persistent |
Third-Party Cookies
Certain features of the dashboard rely on services provided by third parties. These services may set their own cookies, which are governed by the respective provider's privacy policy.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe.js cookies | Stripe | Payment form security and fraud detection | Session / varies |
| Stripe Connect | Stripe | Dashboard payment integration | Session / varies |
These cookies are subject to Stripe's privacy policy. Stripe is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified, the highest level of certification available in the payment industry.
Local Storage and Session Storage
In addition to cookies, the Kansa business dashboard uses your browser's local storage and session storage to persist certain preferences and UI state. These technologies work similarly to cookies but are not sent to the server with every request.
- currentBusinessId (localStorage) — Remembers your selected business for multi-location accounts, so you are returned to the correct business context when you reopen the dashboard.
- Various UI state (localStorage) — Remembers dashboard preferences such as table column visibility, sort orders, and other layout settings you have customised.
You can clear local storage and session storage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing all site data in your browser settings.
Managing Cookies
Most modern browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. You can choose to block all cookies, accept all cookies, or selectively allow certain cookies.
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to the Kansa business dashboard. Clearing cookies will also sign you out of your current session.
Browser-Specific Instructions
- Google Chrome — Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. From here you can block third-party cookies, clear cookies on exit, or manage exceptions per site.
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings > Privacy & Security. Under the "Cookies and Site Data" section you can clear data, manage exceptions, and choose your preferred tracking protection level.
