This Cookie Policy explains how Bored. ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our application and website at staybored.app. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website or use an application. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owners.

Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB, which serve comparable purposes in web applications.

We use a minimal set of cookies, limited to what is strictly necessary for the app to function. We do NOT use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.

🌐

Tracking / Advertising

We do NOT use any tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar services. Your browsing activity is never tracked or sold.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We do not allow third parties to place cookies on your device through our app. The only cookies set are by our own authentication provider (Supabase), which is essential for logging you in securely.

If you sign in using Apple, Google, or Facebook, those providers may set their own cookies during the authentication flow. Please refer to their respective cookie and privacy policies for details.

6. How to Manage Cookies

You can manage cookies through your browser or device settings:

Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Check your browser's help documentation for instructions.
In-App: When you first visit our app, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies via our cookie consent banner.
Clear localStorage: You can clear localStorage through your browser's developer tools (Application > Storage).

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the app from functioning correctly (e.g., you may not be able to stay logged in).

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding cookies and tracking technologies:

EU/EEA (GDPR): Right to consent before non-essential cookies are placed. Right to withdraw consent at any time.
California (CCPA/CPRA): Right to know what data is collected. Right to opt-out of sale (we do not sell data).
Brazil (LGPD): Right to information about cookies used and their purposes.

Since we do not use tracking or advertising cookies, most cookie-related concerns do not apply to Bored. However, we respect your right to control your data.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
