Cookie Policy

1. What cookies and local storage are

Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. Local storage is a similar space in your browser that the app uses to remember settings on your device. We use both.

2. What we use

• Sign-in cookie (pingdd-session): keeps you logged in. Without it you would have to sign in on every visit. It lasts longer if you choose Remember me. This is strictly necessary.
• Security and verification values: used to protect sign-in, extra verification codes and rate limits against abuse. These are strictly necessary.
• Your cookie choice (stored in local storage): remembers whether you accepted or declined optional cookies so we do not keep asking.
• Preferences (stored in local storage): remember your app theme, snap timer setting and similar choices so the app looks right before it finishes loading.
• Notification subscription: if you turn on push notifications, your browser keeps a subscription so we can send them.

3. What we do not do

We do not use advertising cookies and we do not use third-party tracking to build a profile of you for advertising.

4. Third parties

If you use Sign in with Google, Google sets its own cookies on its sign-in pages. The map on Snap Map is provided by Mapbox, which may receive your IP address and the map areas you view. Their cookie and privacy policies apply to what they collect.

5. Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. Clearing site data for Pingdd also shows the cookie notice again so you can choose differently. If you block the sign-in cookie you will not be able to stay logged in. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your personal information.
