Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We also use browser local/session storage. Together these let the app remember you and work correctly.

2. How we use them

Essential — authentication: a secure, http-only cookie stores your session refresh token so you stay signed in. This is required for the app to function.

Preferences — we use local/session storage for things like dismissing the “verify your email” banner and remembering UI state.

We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

3. Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, but disabling essential cookies will stop you from staying logged in. Logging out clears your session cookie.

4. Changes & contact

We may update this policy as the service evolves. Questions? Contact support@jointripmates.com.

Note: This is a starting template and should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before launch.
