Cookie Policy
Last updated: 7 June 2026
BestRate.lk uses a minimal set of cookies to operate the platform. We do not use advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics cookies. This page explains exactly what cookies we set and why.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website operators. BestRate.lk only uses cookies that are strictly necessary to deliver the Service and remember your preferences.
Cookies We Use
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-access-token | Essential | Supabase authentication session token — required to keep you logged in | Session |
| sb-refresh-token | Essential | Allows your session to be silently renewed without requiring you to log in again | 1 year |

No Analytics or Advertising Cookies
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party analytics or advertising cookies. We do not share cookie data with advertisers or data brokers. Our cookie footprint is intentionally minimal.
Essential vs. Functional Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the Service to function — disabling them will prevent you from logging in. Functional cookies (like our consent cookie) improve your experience but are not strictly required for the platform to operate.
