1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website asks your browser to store. They are commonly used to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure traffic, or build advertising profiles. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels, and SDK identifiers — do comparable things without using the cookie mechanism itself.
2. Cookies used by this website
None. This site is delivered as pre-rendered static pages. It has no accounts, no forms that submit to us, no embedded third-party media, and no analytics or advertising scripts. No first- or third-party cookies are set when you browse it.
Your browser and our hosting provider still exchange the technical information any website visit requires — such as your IP address, browser type, and the page requested — which may be written to short-lived server logs for security and abuse prevention. That is not cookie-based tracking and is not used to profile you.
3. If this changes
If we later add analytics, embedded content, or any feature that requires cookies, we will update this page before it goes live and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent through a banner first. Non-essential cookies will never be set before you agree.
4. The Kubyn mobile app
The mobile app does not use browser cookies. It relies on device and SDK-level identifiers instead:
| Identifier | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) token | Delivers push notifications for transactions, security alerts, and service messages. | Until you uninstall the app, disable notifications, or delete your account. |
| Device identifier | Recognises your device for session management, fraud detection, and security alerts on new sign-ins. | While the account is active. |
| Local storage / secure storage | Keeps you signed in and stores your preferences and the hashed Security PIN on the device. | Until you sign out, clear app data, or uninstall. |
| Analytics and crash-report identifiers | Aggregated diagnostics used to fix defects and improve performance. | As set by the analytics provider; pseudonymised wherever possible. |
These are covered in full by section 9 of the Privacy Policy. None of them are used for third-party advertising.
5. Your choices
- In your browser: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and browse privately. Because this site sets none, doing so will not affect how it works.
- Push notifications: turn them off in your device settings or in the app to stop the FCM token being used to reach you.
- Analytics: where the app offers an opt-out for analytics or diagnostics, it is in Settings.
- Everything at once: deleting your account removes the identifiers tied to it — see Account Deletion.
