Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide reporting information, and enable personalization.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Fotify) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third parties, such as analytics, advertising, and social media features.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies for several reasons:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the operation of our websites. They include cookies that enable you to log into secure areas, use shopping carts, and access features.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: Allow us to recognize and count visitors, see how visitors move around our website, and improve how our website works.
• Functional Cookies: Enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences.
• Advertising Cookies: Record your visit to our website, the pages visited, and the links followed to deliver more relevant advertising.

3. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

• fotify_consent: Stores your cookie consent preferences. This cookie is shared across fotify.app and dashboard.fotify.app subdomains. Expires after 1 year.
• Session cookies: Maintain your login state and session information.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

• Google Analytics (_ga, _gid): Used to distinguish users and sessions. Helps us understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies are only set after you consent.
• Microsoft Clarity: Session recording and heatmaps to understand user behavior. Only activated after consent.
• PostHog: Product analytics to improve user experience. Used for feature development and bug fixing.

Advertising Cookies

• Meta Pixel (Facebook): Tracks conversions from Facebook ads and enables remarketing. Only activated after consent.
• LinkedIn Insight Tag: Tracks conversions from LinkedIn ads and enables remarketing. Only activated after consent.
• Google Ads: Conversion tracking and remarketing for Google advertising campaigns. Only activated after consent.

4. Google Consent Mode

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which allows our website to adjust the behavior of Google tags (Analytics, Ads) based on your consent choices. By default, all advertising and analytics storage is denied until you provide consent.

When you accept cookies, we update consent to:

• Enable analytics storage for Google Analytics
• Enable ad storage for Google Ads
• Enable ad user data and personalization

Even without consent, Google may collect anonymized, cookieless pings that don't identify you, helping us understand general traffic patterns while respecting your privacy.

5. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. You can choose to:

• Accept All: Enable all cookies including analytics and advertising.
• Decline: Only essential cookies will be used. Analytics and advertising cookies will not be set.

Your consent choice is stored in the fotify_consent cookie and is shared across our subdomains (fotify.app and dashboard.fotify.app), so you only need to set your preference once.

Changing Your Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by:

• Clearing your browser cookies (this will reset your consent preference)
• Using your browser settings to block or delete cookies
• Using browser extensions that manage cookie consent and tracking

6. Browser Cookie Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website and prevent you from using certain features.

7. Cross-Subdomain Consent

Your cookie consent is shared across our main website (fotify.app) and our dashboard (dashboard.fotify.app). When you accept or decline cookies on either site, your preference is automatically applied to both.

This is achieved by setting the consent cookie on the parent domain (.fotify.app), which both subdomains can read.

8. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that they don't track your browsing activity. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals. However, you can use our cookie consent banner to control tracking.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
