1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on Your computer or mobile device when You visit a website or use a mobile application. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, enhance user experience, and provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on Your personal computer or mobile device when You go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as You close Your web browser.

While GlobalBuy24 itself does not directly implement traditional HTTP cookies for tracking or advertising purposes, our application, built on the FlutterFlow platform, and integrated third-party services may utilize similar technologies or local storage mechanisms that function in a comparable way to enhance functionality and user experience.

2. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

GlobalBuy24 primarily uses local storage to manage user sessions and store essential information for the functionality of the application. This includes:

  • Authentication Tokens: We use local storage to securely store authentication tokens (e.g., JWTs) that allow You to remain logged in and access Your account features without needing to re-enter Your credentials repeatedly. These tokens are crucial for maintaining Your session and ensuring a seamless, secure experience.
  • User Preferences: Local storage may also be used to remember Your preferences within the app, such as language settings, theme choices, or other customized display options, to provide a consistent and personalized experience across Your visits.

These local storage mechanisms are essential for the operation of the Service and are not used for tracking Your browsing activity across other websites or for targeted advertising.

3. Third-Party Cookies and Technologies

As GlobalBuy24 is developed using the FlutterFlow platform, and integrates with various services, certain third-party components may utilize cookies or similar technologies. These are primarily for analytical, operational, or payment processing purposes:

  • FlutterFlow/Firebase: The underlying platform (FlutterFlow) and its integrated services, such as Google Firebase (for analytics, crash reporting, and backend services), may use their own mechanisms to collect Usage Data. This data helps us understand app performance, user engagement, and identify technical issues. While these are not always traditional browser cookies, they serve similar functions in collecting anonymous or aggregated data to improve the Service.
  • Fapshi (Payment Gateway): When You make a purchase, You are redirected to Fapshi's secure payment gateway. Fapshi, as a third-party payment processor, will use its own cookies and tracking technologies to facilitate secure transactions, prevent fraud, and comply with financial regulations. We strongly advise You to review Fapshi's Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy (if available) for detailed information on their data practices: https://www.fapshi.com/en/privacy-policy.
  • Other Integrated Services: Any other third-party services that might be integrated into GlobalBuy24 for specific functionalities (e.g., mapping services, customer support chat) may also use their own cookies or tracking technologies. Their use is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies.

GlobalBuy24 does not have direct control over the cookies or tracking technologies used by these third-party services. Their usage is generally limited to the scope of providing their specific services to our application.

4. Your Choices Regarding Cookies and Local Storage

While most of the mechanisms described above are essential for the basic functionality of GlobalBuy24, You have options to manage Your preferences:

  • Browser Settings: You can instruct Your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Most web browsers allow You to control cookies through their settings. However, if You do not accept cookies, You may not be able to use some portions or features of our Service effectively.
  • Mobile Device Settings: For mobile applications, You may be able to control certain data collection through Your device settings (e.g., resetting advertising IDs, location permissions).
  • Third-Party Policies: To understand and manage the cookies and tracking technologies used by our third-party service providers (like Fapshi or Firebase), You should refer directly to their respective privacy and cookie policies.

Please note that disabling certain essential cookies or local storage items may impact the functionality and Your experience with GlobalBuy24.

5. Changes to this Cookies Policy

We may update Our Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or new technologies. We will notify You of any significant changes by posting the new Cookies Policy on this page, indicating the "Last updated" date at the top.

We encourage You to review this Cookies Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Cookies Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. Your continued use of the Service after the revised Cookies Policy has become effective indicates Your acceptance of the revised policy.
