What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember things — like whether you're logged in, or which theme you prefer. Not the edible kind, unfortunately.

How we use cookies

HeySocialFish uses cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential / Functional: Required for the app to work correctly — theme preferences, session state, UI preferences.
  • Authentication: Securely maintaining your logged-in session.
  • Analytics: Understanding how the app is used at an aggregate level to improve it. We do not use advertising cookies.

We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or selling data to third parties.

Managing cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options", "Tools" or "Preferences" menu of your browser.

Note: Disabling essential / functional cookies may prevent the app from working correctly (e.g. your theme preference will not be saved).

To opt out of analytics cookies, you can use your browser's "Do Not Track" setting or install a browser extension such as the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
