What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember things like whether you're logged in.
Some cookies are essential for a site to work. Others are used for tracking your behaviour across the web, building advertising profiles, or measuring analytics. We only use the first kind.
Cookies we use
We use one category of cookie: authentication cookies set by Firebase, the platform that powers your login on Get About.
| Cookie | Purpose | Set by | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| firebase:authUser | Keeps you logged in to your Get About account so you don't have to sign in every time. | Firebase (Google) | Until you sign out | Essential |
| getabout_cookies_accepted | Remembers that you've acknowledged our cookie banner so it doesn't show again. | Get About | 1 year | Essential |
What we don't use
We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or tracking. We have no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no marketing pixels of any kind. We don't share cookie data with third parties for advertising purposes.
If this ever changes, we'll update this page and let you know.
Managing cookies
Because we only use essential cookies, there's nothing to opt out of. Blocking cookies entirely may prevent you from staying logged in to your Get About account, but that's the only impact.
You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. This will sign you out of Get About.
