1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Noteecard (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit noteecard.com, and how related technologies work in the Noteecard iOS app. It describes what cookies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy in the app (Settings → Privacy Policy).
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as preferences or login session. Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you, but personal data we store about you may be linked to information stored in cookies. In the iOS app, we may use similar technologies such as secure local storage, keychain items, and session tokens — these are not browser cookies, but serve related purposes (authentication, preferences, and security).
