This notice explains the cookies and similar browser storage that TransferCove (“TransferCove”, “we”) uses on our website and app. It goes with our Privacy Policy.
1. The short version
We use only what’s strictly necessary to run the site and keep you signed in. We don’t use advertising cookies, and we don’t use third-party analytics or tracking cookies.
2. What cookies and local storage are
A cookie is a small piece of data a website asks your browser to keep and send back on later visits. Local storage is similar, but stays in your browser and isn’t sent to the website automatically. Both can be used to remember things between visits.
3. What we use
Session cookie. When you sign in to the app, we set a cookie that keeps you signed in. It holds a random identifier for your session, not your name, email or balance. It is marked Secure and HttpOnly, so it’s sent only over encrypted connections and can’t be read by scripts on the page. It lasts up to 30 days from your last visit, and it stops working when you sign out or sign out that session from Settings. Without it, you can’t stay signed in.
Theme preference. If you switch between light and dark mode, we save your choice in your browser’s local storage under the key theme, so the site looks the way you chose next time. It isn’t sent to us.
Security checks. On sign-up and sign-in pages, we may use a bot-protection check from our security provider to stop automated attacks. It may store or read information in your browser that’s needed to tell people from bots. It’s used only for security, not for advertising.
4. What we don’t use
We don’t currently use:
- advertising or retargeting cookies
- third-party analytics cookies
- social media tracking pixels
- cookies that follow you across other websites
5. Your choices
Because we only use strictly necessary storage, we don’t show a cookie banner. You can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. If you block the session cookie, you won’t be able to sign in to the app. If you clear local storage, the site will go back to following your device’s light or dark setting.
6. Changes
If we ever plan to add cookies or storage that aren’t strictly necessary, such as analytics, we’ll update this notice before we do and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
