Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 7, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide reporting information. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage for the same purposes.
2. How We Use Cookies
Tender Radar uses cookies and similar technologies for authentication, security, analytics, and marketing. Some cookies are essential for the platform to function; others require your consent before they are set. You can manage your preferences through the cookie consent banner displayed on your first visit.
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled. No consent is required under GDPR for strictly necessary cookies.
| Cookie / Storage | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Supabase | Authentication session token | Session / 1 year |
| sb-*-auth-token-code-verifier | Supabase | PKCE code verifier for OAuth flows | Session |
| cookie_consent | Tender Radar | Stores your cookie consent preference | Persistent (localStorage) |
4. Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our platform so we can improve features and performance. Our PostHog product analytics does not set any cookies of its own — it reads our own first-party tr_vid and tr_sid cookies (below) to recognize returning visitors and group activity into sessions. These are set for every visitor, not only signed-in users, and are not currently gated by the cookie banner below. Google Analytics and LinkedIn are third-party tools that set their own cookies and are only activated after you grant consent.
| Cookie / Storage | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| tr_vid | Tender Radar (first-party) | Stable anonymous visitor identifier so a return visit is recognized as the same person across page loads and sessions. Used as our PostHog analytics identity; contains no personal information, just a random id. | 400 days |
| tr_sid | Tender Radar (first-party) | Groups activity into a single browsing session so we can measure how a visit unfolds. | 30 minutes of inactivity (rolling) |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Distinguish unique visitors, track page views | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguish users for 24-hour counting | 24 hours |
5. Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and are only loaded after you grant consent via the cookie banner.
| Cookie / Storage | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| li_sugr, AnalyticsSyncHistory, bcookie, lidc, UserMatchHistory, li_fat_id | Conversion tracking, ad measurement, audience matching | 30 days – 2 years |
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Cookie banner: Use the consent banner on your first visit to accept or decline Google Analytics and LinkedIn cookies. To reset your choice, clear your browser's localStorage for tenderradar.io.
- First-party analytics cookies (
tr_vid,tr_sid): these are not currently controlled by the cookie banner. You can block or delete them at any time in your browser's cookie settings, or contact privacy@tenderradar.io to request that we stop tracking your visits. - Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in.
- Opt-out links:
- Google Analytics: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- LinkedIn: LinkedIn Ad Preferences
