What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — like keeping you logged in or remembering preferences you've set — and they help us understand how the site is used.
Cookies cannot run programs on your device or read other files. They store small amounts of text that the site can read back on later visits.
Similar technologies
Beyond cookies in the technical sense, we may also use related technologies that work in similar ways:
- Web beacons or pixels — tiny invisible images embedded in pages or emails to track whether something was viewed.
- Local storage — a way for sites to store information on your device that's larger and more flexible than cookies.
- Session storage — like local storage, but the information is cleared when you close the browser tab.
- Device identifiers — unique IDs that distinguish your device from others (used in our mobile apps rather than on the website).
Throughout this policy, we use "cookies" as a shorthand for all of these technologies unless we say otherwise.
Types of cookies we use
We categorize our cookies into four groups. The table below summarizes each type, what we use it for, and whether you can disable it.
| Category | Purpose | Can you disable? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the site to function — logging you in, keeping your session active, security checks, remembering your preferences during a single visit. | No — the site won't work without these. |
| Functional | Remember your preferences across visits — language, theme, location preferences, whether you've seen certain prompts. | Yes — in cookie settings. |
| Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long people stay, which features people use most. Always aggregated, never identifying individuals to third parties. | Yes — in cookie settings. |
| Marketing | We don't use marketing cookies. We don't run ad campaigns that track you across the web, and we don't allow third-party advertisers to track you using our cookies. | Not applicable — none are set. |
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They include things like session cookies that keep you logged in, security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery, and cookies that remember the contents of forms while you're filling them in. Because the site won't work without these, they can't be disabled through our cookie settings.
Functional cookies
These cookies remember choices you've made to give you a more personalized experience. For example, your preferred language, your distance unit (kilometers or miles), or whether you've dismissed certain in-site notifications. Disabling these means you'll need to set your preferences again each time you visit.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how the website is used in aggregate. We can see things like which pages are most visited, how long people typically stay, and which features are popular. We don't use this data to identify individual visitors, and we don't share it with third parties in any form that could identify you. Disabling these doesn't change your experience of the site but reduces our ability to improve based on aggregated usage patterns.
Marketing cookies
We don't use marketing cookies. We don't run ad retargeting campaigns that follow you around the web. We don't allow third-party advertisers to drop cookies through our site. There's nothing to disable in this category because none are set in the first place — but you can verify this through any browser's developer tools.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our site come from third parties whose services we use. We've kept these to a minimum and only use providers whose privacy practices we trust.
Cookies from our service providers
These third parties may set cookies on our site to support specific features:
- Hosting and security — our cloud infrastructure provider may set cookies for load balancing and security purposes.
- Payment processors — when you visit pages related to subscriptions, Razorpay or PayPal may set cookies needed for their payment flows. These are only active during a payment transaction.
- Anti-fraud — to detect bot traffic, automated scraping, and fraud attempts, we may use security-related cookies from specialized providers.
- Customer support — if we add a live chat or help center widget, it may set cookies needed to function.
Cookies we don't allow
We've deliberately structured our site to avoid the following:
- Advertising or remarketing cookies from ad networks.
- Cross-site tracking cookies that follow you to other websites.
- Social media cookies (like Facebook Pixel or LinkedIn Insight Tag) that track your visits and link them to your social profiles.
- Data brokers, marketing platforms, or analytics services that profile individual users.
We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics 4 with personalized advertising features enabled, LinkedIn Insight Tag, TikTok Pixel, or any similar advertising-related tracking. Our analytics are configured to anonymize visitor data and disable advertising features.
How long cookies last
Cookies have different lifespans depending on what they're for.
Session cookies
These expire when you close your browser. They're used for things that only need to persist during your current visit — keeping you logged in, remembering items in a multi-step flow, maintaining your security context. As soon as you close the browser, they're gone.
Persistent cookies
These stay on your device for a defined period — typically anywhere from a few days to a couple of years. We use these for cookies that need to remember things across visits, like your language preference or whether you've dismissed a banner. The longest persistent cookies we set expire after 12 months.
You can always delete them
Regardless of how long a cookie is set to last, you can delete it manually through your browser's settings at any time. Doing this may sign you out of the site, reset your preferences, or remove information stored across visits.
How to control cookies
You have meaningful control over cookies. Here are the ways you can manage them on Favor and across the web.
Our cookie banner
When you first visit our site, you'll see a cookie banner that lets you choose which categories of non-essential cookies you want to accept. You can revisit your choices at any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page.
Browser settings
All modern browsers let you manage cookies — view them, delete them, block them, or accept them only from certain sites. The exact steps differ by browser:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data.
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
- Mobile browsers — usually under Settings → Privacy or similar.
Effect of disabling cookies
Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent the site from working properly — you may not be able to log in or complete certain actions. Disabling functional and analytics cookies doesn't affect core functionality but may reduce personalization and limit our ability to improve the site based on usage data.
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal indicating you don't want to be tracked. Industry consensus on how to respond to DNT signals is still evolving. Since we don't operate any tracking-based advertising or cross-site profiling, your DNT signal doesn't change much about how we treat you — we minimize tracking by default for all visitors.
Cookies in our mobile apps
This Cookie Policy is specifically about our website. Our mobile apps (iOS and Android) don't use cookies in the strict sense — they use the equivalent technologies built into the operating system, like the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS or the Advertising ID on Android.
Our approach in mobile apps
We do not use the IDFA or the Android Advertising ID for advertising or cross-app tracking. Our apps don't request the App Tracking Transparency permission on iOS (because we don't track you across other apps and websites). The technical data we collect in the apps is described in our Privacy Policy.
Device identifiers we do use
We use a unique identifier specific to our app to keep your session active and to recognize your device for security purposes. This identifier doesn't follow you to other apps or websites. It's not shared with advertisers or third parties for tracking purposes.
International members and additional rights
If you're in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with cookie-specific laws, you have additional rights that we honor.
Consent before non-essential cookies
Where consent is required by law, our cookie banner is presented before any non-essential cookies are set. You must affirmatively choose which categories you accept — the default state is that only strictly necessary cookies are active until you make a choice.
Withdrawing consent
You can withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer. Withdrawing consent doesn't affect cookies that were already set before withdrawal; you'd need to clear them through your browser if you want them removed. After withdrawal, no new cookies in the withdrawn category will be set.
Local data protection authorities
If you believe our use of cookies violates your rights under applicable law, you can lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in your country of residence. We hope you'll contact us first at support@favorconnect.com so we can try to address your concern directly.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through a banner on the site.
We recommend reviewing this page periodically if cookie practices are important to you. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
