1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are logged in, your preferred theme, or your session state.

Kraviq also uses browser localStorage, which works similarly to cookies but is stored locally on your device and not sent with every HTTP request. We refer to cookies and localStorage collectively as "tracking technologies" in this policy.

2. How Kraviq Uses Cookies

Kraviq uses the minimum number of tracking technologies necessary to operate the platform. We do not use advertising cookies or sell cookie data to third parties.

2.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential)

These are required for the platform to function. You cannot opt out of them while using Kraviq.

Name / Key	Type	Purpose	Duration
Firebase Auth session	localStorage	Maintains your authenticated session so you stay logged in between page refreshes	Until sign out
Firebase ID token	Memory (not persisted)	Short-lived access token used to authenticate API requests	1 hour (auto-refreshed)
__session	Cookie (HttpOnly)	Server-side session identifier for secure API calls	Session

2.2 Preference / Functional

These remember your settings and personalisation choices.

Name / Key	Type	Purpose	Duration
kraviq-ui	localStorage	Saves your selected colour theme (light, dark, or system) so it persists between visits	Persistent
dashboard-layout	localStorage	Saves your customised dashboard widget arrangement	Persistent
sidebar-collapsed	localStorage	Remembers whether the sidebar is expanded or collapsed	Persistent

2.3 Analytics

We use anonymised, aggregated analytics to understand how the platform is used and to improve it. No analytics data is linked to your personal identity or shared with advertising networks.

•Page views and navigation paths (aggregated, not per-user)
•Feature usage rates (e.g. how many users use CSV import vs EA sync)
•Error rates and performance metrics

2.4 What We Do Not Use

•Advertising or retargeting cookies
•Third-party tracking pixels
•Social media tracking scripts
•Fingerprinting or device-tracking techniques

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies:

Service	Purpose	Their Policy
Google Firebase	Authentication and identity management	firebase.google.com/support/privacy

4. How to Manage Cookies

4.1 Browser Settings

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent Kraviq from functioning — you will not be able to stay logged in.

•Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
•Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
•Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
•Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

4.2 localStorage

To clear Kraviq's localStorage data, open your browser's Developer Tools (F12), go to Application → Local Storage → your Kraviq domain, and delete individual keys or clear all entries. This will reset your theme preference, dashboard layout, and sidebar state.

4.3 Clearing Your Session

Signing out of Kraviq clears your authentication session automatically. If you remain signed in, your session persists until you explicitly sign out or it expires.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or platform features. Updates will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above. For material changes, we will notify you via email or an in-app notice.
