1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and improve your experience. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage for client-side data storage.
2. How We Use Cookies
TapInFlow uses cookies and local storage for essential functionality and, with your consent, for analytics purposes. We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking across third-party websites.
3. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled. No consent is required for essential cookies under GDPR.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| tif:token | Authentication session token | localStorage | Until logout |
| tif:locale | Language preference | localStorage | Persistent |
| tif:cookie-consent | Cookie consent preferences and timestamp | localStorage | Persistent |
| tif:nickname | Participant nickname for sessions | localStorage | Persistent |
4. Site Analytics
We operate our own analytics on infrastructure we control, using the open-source Umami software. Umami is hosted atanalytics.tapinflow.com— the data never leaves our environment and is never shared with third parties.
In its default configuration, which we use unchanged, Umami does not set any cookies in your browser. It records page-level activity (URL visited, referrer, browser type, screen size, approximate country derived from your IP address) and counts unique visitors via a salted hash that rotates every 24 hours, so the same visitor on day 1 and day 2 cannot be linked to one another.
Because no cookies are set and no personally identifiable information is retained, the ePrivacy Directive does not require us to ask for consent before this analytics runs. We disclose it here in the interest of full transparency. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, advertising tags, or any other third-party tracking service.
5. Managing Your Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
- Cookie consent banner: When you first visit the Service, a banner allows you to accept all cookies, accept essential only, or customize your preferences.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the Service from functioning properly.
- Clearing localStorage: You can clear localStorage through your browser's developer tools (Application > Local Storage).
You can withdraw consent for analytics cookies at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for tapinflow.com. A new consent banner will appear on your next visit.
6. Third-Party Cookies
When you use Google Sign-In, Google may set cookies according to their own Privacy Policy. These cookies are managed by Google and are not within our control.
When you make a purchase, Paddle.com may set cookies during the checkout process according to their own Privacy Policy.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised date. If we introduce new categories of cookies, we will request your consent before setting them.
