Cookie Policy

Last Updated: July 2026. Review how Qallak utilizes cookies and local browser storage to manage your sessions.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your web browser or device storage when you visit a website or use a web application. They help the platform remember your configuration preferences, identify active user sessions, and keep your interactions secure.

In addition to standard cookies, Qallak utilizes browser **Local Storage** and **Session Storage** parameters to handle direct client-side configuration parameters, which operate similarly to cookies.

2. How We Use Them

We use tracking parameters and cookies for essential functionality. We do not use third-party advertising tracking cookies.

Authentication & Security (Essential)

These cookies are required to operate the application. They store your active Firebase session tokens and verify that requests made to the Vercel API are authenticated. Without these cookies, you would have to log in every time you perform an action or swipe a card.

Preferences (Functional)

These cookies store your preference selections (such as system dark/light theme, geolocation coordinates to build your matching stack, and dismissing system banners like the Cookie Consent notification).

3. Local Storage Tokens

The Qallak Web App (`app.qallak.com`) saves parameters to browser Local Storage to ensure high performance and low data consumption:

  • Firebase auth keys: Securely identifies your login session state.
  • Waitlist token: Identifies if you have successfully registered your email in our waitlist, suppressing duplicate signup popups.
  • Cookie Banner choice: Prevents the cookie banner from popping up repeatedly if you have already dismissed it.

4. How to Control Cookies

You can choose to accept, block, or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers (such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge) allow you to manage cookie preferences or browse in "incognito" mode.

Note: Blocking essential cookies or local storage will break the login and authentication flow of the Qallak application, and you will not be able to use the service.
