Our authentication system is powered by Supabase. Session cookies are managed securely as described in the Essential Cookies section above.

Google, Microsoft, and Zoom (Calendar Integration)

If you choose to connect your calendar, these services may set their own cookies during the authentication process. This only occurs when you actively connect a calendar service from your dashboard settings.
