Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 15, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. "Local storage" is a similar browser technology that stores data locally on your device.

This policy covers both cookies and local storage used by the Chupke website (chupke.app). The Chupke mobile app does not use browser cookies but may use device-local storage for similar purposes.

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include:

  • Authentication tokens: Stored via Firebase Authentication to keep you signed in and verify your identity across page loads
  • Session data: Temporary data required for the website to function correctly during your visit
  • Security tokens: Used to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other security threats

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization:

  • Theme preferences: Remembering your selected chat theme and display preferences
  • User preferences: Storing your notification and display settings

2.3 Analytics (Minimal)

We may use minimal analytics to understand how visitors use our marketing website (page views, traffic sources). We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. We do not share analytics data with third-party advertisers.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Our website may include third-party services that set their own cookies:

  • Google Firebase: Sets cookies and uses local storage for authentication, session management, and real-time database connections. See Firebase Privacy Policy.

We do not use any advertising networks, retargeting services, or social media tracking cookies.

4. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View what cookies are stored on your device
  • Delete individual or all cookies
  • Block cookies from specific or all websites
  • Set preferences for certain types of cookies

Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from signing in and using the authenticated features of Chupke.
