Cookie Policy - Kanithan

1. Introduction

Kanithan ("we", "us", or "our") uses certain technologies to improve your experience on our application. This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are and why we use them.

2. What are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. "Local Storage" is a newer technology that allows web applications to store data locally within your browser, similar to cookies but more secure and capable of storing more data.

Kanithan primarily uses Local Storage and IndexedDB rather than traditional tracking cookies.

3. Essential Technologies We Use

We rely on the following strictly necessary technologies to operate the App:

Authentication (Firebase Auth): We use Local Storage and IndexedDB to keep you logged in securely. This ensures you don't have to enter your credentials every time you open the app.
Offline Capability (Service Worker): We use browser caching to store app resources (like styles and scripts) so the app loads instantly and works even when you are offline.
Data Persistence (Firestore): We store a copy of your expenses locally on your device (in IndexedDB) so you can view and add expenses even without an internet connection. This data syncs with the cloud once you go online.

4. Zero Third-Party Tracking

We respect your privacy:

No Ads: We do not use cookies for advertising purposes.
No Evaluation: We do not use third-party analytics cookies (like Google Analytics) to track your behavior across other websites.

5. Managing Your Preferences

Since the technologies we use are strictly necessary for the application to function (Authentication and Security), disabling them will prevent you from using the App (you will not be able to log in).

However, you can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's "Site Data" or "Cookies and other site data" in your browser settings.
