1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, and pixels. They help websites function, remember preferences, and understand how services are used.
2. How CustomsDaddy uses cookies/local storage
- Strictly Necessary (essential for site features and security).
- Performance/Analytics (to understand usage and improve features).
- Functional (to remember preferences such as cookie consent choices).
- Advertising (only if we enable third-party ad/retargeting services; off by default).
Note: Our web app typically keeps your authentication session in localStorage via our auth provider;
we avoid setting tracking cookies by default. If we later add analytics/ads, we’ll honor your consent choices.
3. Categories
- Strictly necessary: Required for core functionality (security, page navigation). Cannot be disabled.
- Performance/Analytics: Aggregated usage metrics to improve the Service.
- Functional: Saves your preferences (e.g., cookie consent).
- Advertising: Personalization/retargeting by third parties (disabled unless you opt in).
