Cookie Policy
The short list of cookies and browser storage MADBU uses, and what each one is for.
Last updated November 13, 2026
1. The short version
MADBU uses only what the app needs to work. We do not use advertising cookies, we do not run third party tracking pixels, and browsing the public site without an account sets no cookies at all.
2. Essential cookies
These are set only when you sign in. Without them the app cannot keep you signed in, so they cannot be switched off.
- wordpress_logged_in_ and wordpress_sec_: prove that you are signed in and protect your session. They last for your session, or up to 14 days if your device stays signed in.
- wp-settings- and wp-settings-time-: remember display preferences for your account for up to one year.
3. Browser storage
The app also keeps a few items in your browser's own storage. They stay on your device and are not sent to anyone else.
- Offline cache: copies of the app's screens and icons so it opens quickly and works with a weak signal.
- madbu_ai_notes: today's coach notes, so they are not requested twice.
- madbu_consent: remembers that you have seen the cookie notice and what you chose.
- Push subscription: created by your browser only if you turn on notifications.
4. Cookies from other companies
Two parts of MADBU open a screen run by another company, and that company may set its own cookies there, under its own policy:
- Stripe, on the checkout and billing screens, to process payment and prevent fraud.
- Plaid, on the bank sign in screen, if you choose to connect a bank.
5. Optional cookies
We do not use any analytics or marketing cookies today. If that ever changes, they will stay switched off until you accept them in the cookie notice, and this page will list them first.
6. Your controls
You can reopen the cookie notice at any time. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will stop you signing in. More detail on how we handle information is in the Privacy Policy.
