Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage, which allow web applications to store data directly in your browser. These technologies help websites remember your preferences and maintain your session as you navigate between pages.

This policy covers all such technologies used by Oskuo, whether they are traditional cookies or browser storage mechanisms.

Cookies we use

Oskuo uses a minimal set of cookies and browser storage, limited to what is necessary for the service to function and to remember your preferences.

Strictly necessary

These are essential for Oskuo to work. They cannot be disabled. No consent is required under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) because they are strictly necessary for the service you have requested.

• Firebase Authentication tokens — stored in browser storage to keep you signed in and to verify your identity on each request. These are removed when you sign out.
• Session identifiers — used to maintain your authenticated session and bind it to your device for security purposes.

Functional

These remember your choices to improve your experience. They do not track you across other websites.

• App preferences — localStorage entries for settings such as theme, panel layout, and voice configuration.
• Application state — localStorage entries that preserve your workspace state (e.g. active conversation, panel arrangement) so it is restored when you return.

Cookies we do not use

Oskuo does not use any of the following:

• Analytics or performance cookies — we do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or any other analytics tracking.
• Advertising or targeting cookies — we do not serve ads or build advertising profiles.
• Third-party tracking cookies — we do not allow any third party to place tracking cookies through our service.
• Social media tracking pixels — we do not embed Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar tracking technologies.

Third-party cookies

The following third-party services may set cookies or use browser storage as part of their essential functions when you use Oskuo:

• Firebase Authentication (Google) — may set cookies for session management and authentication. These are strictly necessary for sign-in to work.
• Stripe — may set cookies during payment and checkout flows to process your subscription securely and to prevent fraud.

These third-party cookies are limited to their essential functions and are governed by their respective privacy policies. We do not control the cookies set by these services.

Managing cookies

You can manage or delete cookies and browser storage through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, clear localStorage, and control how sites store data on your device.

Please note that if you disable or remove essential cookies and browser storage, you will not be able to sign in to Oskuo, as authentication requires these technologies to function.

For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help pages or aboutcookies.org.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and similar technologies.
