Cookie Policy
How we use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies.
1 About This Policy
This policy explains how MushingPlan uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies on our website and mobile application. Under the ePrivacy Directive, these rules apply to any technology that stores or accesses information on your device — including mobile local storage, SDKs, and device identifiers.
2 What Are Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser. On mobile apps, similar technologies include local storage databases, key-value stores, device identifiers, and SDK-based tracking. We use "cookies" broadly to cover all these technologies throughout this policy.
3 Categories of Technologies We Use
Strictly Necessary
No consent required| Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|
| JWT auth tokens | Keep you signed in |
| Offline cache (SQLite) | Store data when offline |
| Consent prefs (MMKV) | Remember your choices |
| Session cookies | Website session state |
Functional
No consent required| Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Language preference | Remember your language |

| Google Analytics | Usage statistics, page views, user journeys |
| Firebase Analytics | In-app event tracking, feature adoption |

| Firebase Performance | App speed and responsiveness metrics |
Marketing

5 Consent Management
We ask for your consent before activating non-essential tracking. You can manage your preferences at any time:
Mobile App
Settings → Privacy → Manage Tracking
Website
Cookie banner or footer link
Consent is as easy to withdraw as to give. We do not use pre-ticked boxes. Device-level permissions (e.g., location) are separate from GDPR consent — we request both independently.
6 Offline Consent
Your consent preferences are stored locally on your device. If you change preferences while offline, the app respects changes immediately and syncs them to our servers when connectivity is restored.
7 Website Cookies
The MushingPlan website (mushingplan.com) is a static site that uses minimal cookies:
- Language preference (functional)
- Analytics (only with consent)
8 Your Rights
Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, you have the right to:
- Know what technologies store data on your device
- Refuse non-essential cookies and tracking
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Delete locally stored data through your device settings
9 Changes to This Policy
We will update this policy if we introduce new tracking technologies or third-party SDKs. Significant changes will be communicated through the app, and we will request new consent where required.
