Last updated: November 30, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how RawHabit.ai ("we", "us", or "our"), operated by HootCodes LTD, uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and use our service.
This policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and provide information to website owners.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
3. Our Minimal Cookie Approach
🍪 Good News!
RawHabit.ai uses a minimal cookie approach. We do NOT use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies. We only use essential cookies required for the Service to function.
4. Cookies We Use
4.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These cookies are essential for the Service to function properly. Without these cookies, you would not be able to use RawHabit.ai.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| authjs.session-token | Maintains your login session | Session / 30 days |
| authjs.csrf-token | Protects against CSRF attacks | Session |
| authjs.callback-url | Handles OAuth redirects | Session |
These cookies are required for authentication via Auth.js (Google OAuth) and cannot be disabled without breaking the Service.
5. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, RawHabit.ai uses browser local storage to enhance your experience:

| notification-permission | Tracks notification permission state | ✅ Yes |
Clearing local storage will reset your preferences but will not log you out.
6. Service Workers and PWA
RawHabit.ai uses a Service Worker to enable Progressive Web App (PWA) functionality:
- Offline Access: Caches essential resources for offline use
- Push Notifications: Enables web push notifications for habit reminders
- Install Prompt: Allows installing RawHabit.ai as a standalone app
Service Workers do not track your behavior across websites. They only cache resources from RawHabit.ai.

7.1 Google OAuth
When you sign in with Google, Google may set cookies as part of the authentication process. These are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
7.2 Stripe
When you make a payment, Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention and payment processing. These are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

Privacy First: We do NOT use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party analytics services. Your usage data stays with us.
