Cookies & Storage

Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 8, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how ShipItBuddy uses cookies, local storage, and similar web technologies to provide a fast, secure, and reliable developer experience.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Local storage (such as HTML5 LocalStorage) is a modern web browser mechanism that stores key-value pairs locally on your device without transmitting them across network headers on every request.

2. The Cookies We Use

ShipItBuddy takes a privacy-first approach. We only use strictly necessary and functional cookies required to keep the app operational:

Essential Authentication

Provided by Firebase Authentication to keep you signed in securely across page reloads and browser sessions. Without these cookies, you would have to sign in on every page transition.

Source: Google Firebase Auth
UI Preferences & State

Used to store non-identifying local preferences, such as your active date filter on shipping heatmaps and temporary draft states when composing ship logs.

Source: LocalStorage

3. Zero Third-Party Advertising Trackers

We believe in respect for makers. ShipItBuddy does not use any third-party marketing cookies, behavioral retargeting pixels, or ad networks (such as Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or Google AdSense). You are never tracked across the web after visiting ShipItBuddy.

4. How to Control or Disable Cookies

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent through your browser settings:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
  • Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies.
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

Please note: Disabling strictly necessary authentication cookies will prevent you from signing in to your ShipItBuddy maker profile.
