Cookie Policy
Effective Date: June 9, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how FarmingPal ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and mobile application (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their site. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Required for the Service to function. Cannot be disabled. | Authentication session tokens, CSRF protection, onboarding state |
| Functional | Remember your preferences and settings. | Selected region, country, preferred units |
| Analytics | Help us understand how users interact with the Service so we can improve it. | Page views, feature usage patterns, error tracking |
3. Third-Party Cookies
We may use third-party service providers who set their own cookies on your device. These include:
- Supabase — our backend database and authentication provider may use cookies to maintain secure sessions.
- Vercel — our hosting provider may set performance and analytics cookies.
- Analytics tools — if enabled, these may set cookies to collect anonymized usage data.
Third-party cookies are governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies directly.
4. Mobile App and Local Storage
The FarmingPal mobile app does not use traditional browser cookies. Instead, it uses device local storage and AsyncStorage to persist your preferences, session data, and onboarding state. This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to third parties except as required to operate the Service (e.g., authentication tokens sent to our servers).
5. Your Choices
You have the following options to control cookies:
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly.
- Mobile app — you can clear app data through your device's settings to remove locally stored data.
- Do Not Track — some browsers support a "Do Not Track" signal. We honour this signal where it is technically feasible to do so.
6. Cookie Retention
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser or end your app session. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the period specified in the cookie or until you delete them. Authentication tokens are valid for the duration described in our Privacy Policy.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
