1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They are essential for modern web experiences, allowing websites to remember your preferences and login status.
2. The Critical Distinction
It is vital to understand the two ways Ooki interacts with cookies:
- Synchronized Data (Opaque to Ooki): These are the cookies from other websites that you choose to sync. These are treated as encrypted data packets. We do not "use" these cookies; we simply transport and store them securely for you.
- Functional Cookies (Used by Ooki): These are cookies Ooki sets on our own domain to make our website and extension work.
3. How We Use Functional Cookies
We use a minimal number of cookies for the following purposes:
- Authentication: We use an essential cookie (e.g., `__Host-ooki-auth`) to keep you logged into your Ooki account so you can manage your subscription.
- Preferences: We may use cookies to remember settings like your dark mode preference.
- Security: We use cookies to protect our API from cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our payment processor, Stripe, may set cookies on our checkout page to ensure secure transactions and prevent fraud. These are governed by Stripe's own privacy policy.
5. Your Choices
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, please note that if you disable our functional cookies, you will not be able to log in to your Ooki account or manage your subscription.
6. Policy Updates
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
