This Cookie Policy explains how OfferDeal: Loot Deals & Offers ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies, local storage, and similar tracking technologies on our browser extension and website. By using our Service, you consent to the use of these technologies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies & Storage Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. Additionally, browser extensions use local storage mechanisms (such as chrome.storage or localStorage) to store app preferences locally. These are widely used to make applications work efficiently, remember your settings, and provide seamless user experiences.
2. How We Use Cookies & Local Storage
We use cookies and local storage mechanisms strictly to enhance your deal-hunting experience:
- Essential Preferences & State: We store configuration details like your UI theme selection (Dark/Light mode), notification toggles, and saved user preferences locally so you don't have to reset them every time you open the extension.
- Price Tracking & Alert Caching: We temporarily store session identifiers or local preferences related to your tracked items and price drop alert settings to deliver targeted notifications properly.
- Affiliate Tracking Cookies: Because we engage in affiliate marketing, clicking on a deal link may place an affiliate cookie on your browser via our verified retail partners (e.g., Amazon, Flipkart) to ensure proper purchase attribution and credit earned commissions to us. These cookies are managed by respective merchant networks.
- Performance & Analytics: We use basic performance monitoring metrics to understand interactions, troubleshoot technical errors, and optimize deal delivery speeds.
3. Third-Party Cookies & Services
Some tracking elements or tokens may be placed by trusted third-party services (such as Firebase Cloud Messaging for push alerts or analytics providers) integrated within our application workflow. We do not control the setting of these third-party trackers, and we encourage checking their respective policies for details.
4. Managing or Disabling Cookies & Storage
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline or clear cookies if you prefer. However, please note that blocking essential extension storage components may affect functionality or prevent features (like dark mode, saved alert preferences, or history graphs) from working properly.
5. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect functional upgrades, feature additions, or regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with a revised update date.
