1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners.
Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued them.
2. How We Use Cookies
Fuata uses cookies to:
- Keep you signed in across page navigations (session cookies)
- Remember your "Remember Me" preference for persistent login
- Protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks
- Store your UI preferences such as theme or language
- Understand how users navigate the platform to improve it
We do not use cookies for advertising or sell cookie data to third parties.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some pages may load resources from third-party providers (e.g. Google Fonts, Font Awesome CDN). These providers may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. We do not control these cookies.
We do not embed advertising networks or social media tracking pixels that set third-party cookies.
5. Session & Remember Me
Session cookies (JSESSIONID) expire when you close your browser. They are essential for the application to function and cannot be disabled while using the Service.
Persistent cookies (remember-me) are only set when you check "Remember Me" at login. They allow you to return without re-entering your credentials for up to 30 days. You can revoke this at any time by logging out, which deletes the cookie immediately.
6. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. The following links explain how to manage cookies in popular browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
Note: Disabling essential cookies (JSESSIONID, XSRF-TOKEN) will prevent you from logging in or using the Service.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Fuata does not currently respond to DNT signals as there is no industry-standard interpretation. We only use the strictly necessary cookies described above.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
