This Cookie and Data Storage Policy explains how our web application ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies, localStorage, and other tracking technologies to enhance your experience and ensure the proper functioning of our services. This policy is in line with the requirements set forth by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive in the European Union (EU).

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They are used to remember your preferences, login details, and browsing activities. LocalStorage is a type of web storage that allows websites to store data on your browser for a long period of time, even after the browser is closed.

In our web application, we use localStorage and cookies for the following purposes:

• NextRoute (localStorage): This stores the string representing the next route or page you will visit in our web app. This helps in providing a smoother and more seamless navigation experience.
• PreviousRoutes (localStorage): This stores an array of strings representing the routes or pages you have previously visited. This is used to improve navigation and enhance your user experience by allowing you to return to previous pages more efficiently.
• CookiesStatus (localStorage): This stores the string that represents your consent status regarding cookies. It allows us to remember your preferences regarding the use of cookies so that you don't have to set them again on your next visit.
• Google Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how users interact with our web application. This helps us understand user behavior, improve our services, and enhance user experience. Google Analytics sets cookies to gather this information, such as the number of visitors, pages visited, and the duration of each session. The data collected by Google Analytics is anonymized and does not personally identify you.
• Firebase: Our web application uses Firebase, a platform by Google, for various services including authentication, database, and analytics. Firebase may set cookies or use other tracking technologies to provide its services. Data collected by Firebase may include anonymized information such as your IP address, device type, and usage patterns. This data is used to ensure the security of our services and improve performance.

Upon your first visit to our web application, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. This banner provides you with the option to accept or decline the use of non-essential cookies, including those used by Google Analytics and Firebase. By continuing to use our web application without adjusting your settings, you consent to our use of cookies and localStorage as described in this policy.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings or by clicking on the "Cookie Settings" link available on our website. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our web application and your overall user experience.

We do not share any personal data stored in localStorage with third parties. However, anonymized data collected via Google Analytics and Firebase may be shared with these third-party service providers for the purposes of analytics and service improvement.

Google Analytics and Firebase are compliant with GDPR and handle your data in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request the correction of any incorrect or incomplete data.
• Request the deletion of your personal data.
• Withdraw your consent to the use of cookies at any time.
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe we are processing your data unlawfully.

We may update this Cookie and Data Storage Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, by providing you with a more prominent notice.
