Cookie Policy
Last updated August 15, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how GeoKiks uses cookies and similar technologies on geokiks.com, and how similar identifiers work in the iOS and Android apps. It describes what GeoKiks actually uses today. The website does not currently show a cookie banner or a preference center that turns non-essential scripts on or off.
1.What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. GeoKiks also uses localStorage and sessionStorage on the website. The mobile apps use software development kits (SDKs) and device identifiers instead of website cookies. This policy covers both so the description of the GeoKiks Services stays in one place.
2.How GeoKiks uses them
On the website, GeoKiks uses browser storage to keep you signed in, remember appearance and language, save drafts, and, if configured, send limited first-party analytics. Google sign-in and reCAPTCHA scripts may load on sign-in pages.
GeoKiks does not currently run a documented advertising pixel on the public website. Mobile-app ads are described in the Privacy Policy.
3.Strictly necessary technologies
geokiks.session.v1 (localStorage, GeoKiks) stores the signed-in session, including an access token. It lasts until you log out or clear site data. Without it, you cannot stay signed in on the web.
geokiks.deviceId.v1 (localStorage, GeoKiks) stores a web device identifier used for some account and device binding.
Hosting, CDN, and TLS infrastructure may set strictly necessary cookies to deliver the site securely. GeoKiks does not control every cookie set by the network path.
4.Preference technologies
GeoKiks stores appearance, locale, measurement, Echo drafts, tours, and similar choices in first-party localStorage. These stay on your device until you clear site data. They are not a third-party advertising profile.
5.Analytics technologies
geokiks.analytics.sid.v1 (sessionStorage, GeoKiks) is a tab session key for an optional first-party collector. It is designed not to include your name or email. It is designed to stay silent when the browser Do Not Track signal is set. There is no separate in-page consent switch for it today.
The iOS and Android apps use Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics. Those are SDKs, not website cookies. See the Privacy Policy.
6.Advertising technologies
GeoKiks-Web does not currently use advertising cookies or an advertising preference panel. Google AdMob may run in the iOS and Android apps and may use advertising identifiers under those platforms' rules. That is not a website cookie. See the Privacy Policy.
7.Third-party technologies
Google Identity Services and Firebase reCAPTCHA may load on sign-in pages so you can sign in or complete phone checks. Those scripts can set cookies or storage under Google's policies. They load without a GeoKiks cookie banner today.
8.Website storage table
This table lists first-party website storage GeoKiks uses in the current product. Names can change as the site is updated. It is not a generic industry cookie list.
| Name / technology | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| geokiks.session.v1 (localStorage) | GeoKiks | Signed-in session | Strictly necessary | Until logout or you clear site data |
| geokiks.deviceId.v1 (localStorage) | GeoKiks | Web device identifier | Strictly necessary | Until you clear site data |
| Appearance, locale, and measurement keys (localStorage) | GeoKiks | Theme, language, units | Preferences | Until you clear site data |
| Echo drafts, tours, and similar keys (localStorage) | GeoKiks | Drafts and product tips | Preferences | Until you clear site data |
| geokiks.analytics.sid.v1 (sessionStorage) | GeoKiks | Optional first-party analytics session | Analytics | Until the browser tab is closed |
9.How to manage choices
The website does not currently offer a "Manage cookie preferences" control in the footer or settings. Clearing site data in your browser signs you out and removes localStorage keys listed above.
On iOS, use Settings, Privacy and Security, Tracking, and advertising settings. On Android, reset or delete the advertising ID in Google settings. Do Not Track: the optional web collector is designed to stay silent when DNT is set.
Email privacy@geokiks.com if you need help with a privacy request. Asking by email does not currently block third-party sign-in scripts by itself.
10.Browser controls
Use your browser's site-data or cookie settings to delete geokiks.com storage. Blocking all storage may prevent sign-in. Instructions differ for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.
11.Changes
GeoKiks may update this policy. The Last updated date on this page will change when we do.
