Cookie Policy
Last Updated: October 31, 2025
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us provide you with a better, faster, and safer experience. This policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them.
Essential Cookies (Required)
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They protect your account and ensure secure communication with EVE Online servers.
Session Cookie
This cookie stores your encrypted authentication token using NextAuth.js. It is HTTP-only (inaccessible to JavaScript), secured over HTTPS in production, and includes your EVE character information. Without this cookie, you cannot access authenticated features like Industry planning.
CSRF Protection Token
This security cookie protects you from malicious attacks by validating that all state-changing requests (POST, PUT, DELETE) originate from our website. The __Host- prefix ensures the cookie is only sent to our domain over HTTPS.
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, so we can improve your experience. They are provided by third-party services and are subject to their respective privacy policies.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics helps us understand which features are most popular, how users navigate the site, and where improvements are needed. Data is anonymized and aggregated. Learn more about Google's Privacy Policy.
How We Use Cookies
Authentication & Security
Cookies keep you logged in securely and protect against unauthorized access to your account. All authentication tokens are encrypted and transmitted only over HTTPS.
Site Functionality
Essential cookies enable core features like accessing your Industry jobs, saving market watch lists, and calculating trade routes. Without these, the site cannot function properly.
Analytics & Improvement
Analytics cookies help us identify bugs, understand which features are most valuable, and prioritize development efforts to better serve the EVE Online community.
What Data We Store
Our cookies may contain or reference the following information:
- EVE Character Information: Character ID, name, corporation, and alliance (from EVE SSO)
- Authentication Tokens: Encrypted access and refresh tokens for ESI API access
- Session Identifiers: Random tokens to identify your browser session
- Security Tokens: CSRF protection tokens to validate request authenticity
- Timestamps: Session creation and expiration times
Note: We never store your EVE Online password. Authentication is handled entirely by CCP's secure EVE SSO system. Refresh tokens are encrypted using AES-256-GCM before storage in our database.
Managing Your Cookies
