Effective Date: February 23, 2026  |  Last Updated: February 23, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how goSmash ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at https://gosmash.app and in the goSmash mobile application.

1. Current Cookie Usage

1.1 Website (gosmash.app)

Our website is a static informational site. As of the date above, we do not set any first-party cookies on our website. The site does not use analytics, tracking pixels, advertising cookies, or session cookies.

1.2 Third-Party Resources

Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com). When your browser requests these fonts, Google receives standard HTTP request data (your IP address, browser user agent, referring page). Google may set cookies in connection with this request under their own policies.

For details, see the Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.

1.3 Mobile Application

The goSmash mobile app does not use browser cookies. Instead, it uses:

  • Firebase Authentication tokens: Secure tokens (JWTs) managed by the Firebase SDK and stored in the device's secure storage for authentication purposes.
  • Local app storage: Your profile and match data may be cached locally on your device using platform-standard key-value storage (SharedPreferences on Android, NSUserDefaults on iOS) for performance. This data is not shared with third parties.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information. They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to site operators. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and device-level secure storage.
