Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Melan8 ("we", "our", "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you use our mobile application ("the App"). It also describes your choices regarding these technologies.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and improve your experience.

How We Use Cookies

We use both first-party and third-party cookies for these purposes.

• Authenticate and keep you signed in
• Remember your settings and preferences
• Analyze in-app traffic and performance
• Deliver and measure marketing campaigns

Types of Cookies We Use

Each cookie category serves a distinct purpose in improving your overall experience on Melan8.

• Essential cookies – required for core app functionality (e.g., authentication, security).
• Performance cookies – collect anonymous data on how members use the app to improve speed and UX.
• Functional cookies – remember your settings such as language, dark-mode, or region.
• Advertising & analytics cookies – help us deliver relevant ads and measure marketing effectiveness.

Third-Party Cookies & SDKs

We partner with trusted providers—such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, OneSignal, Supabase, and AWS CloudFront—that may set cookies or save device identifiers when you use Melan8. These technologies help us collect aggregated analytics, personalize ads, deliver push notifications, and ensure reliable infrastructure. While we do not control their specific settings, we require all partners to comply with applicable privacy laws and provide opt-out mechanisms where possible.

Mobile App Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, our iOS and Android apps may use local storage, secure storage, advertising identifiers (e.g., IDFA, GAID), and analytics SDKs to remember preferences, keep you logged in, measure feature usage, and prevent fraud. You can reset or limit ad identifiers in your device settings at any time.

Cookie Duration & Retention

Some cookies expire once you close your browser (session cookies), while others remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted (persistent cookies). We review our cookie lifespans regularly and minimize retention to only what is necessary for stated purposes.

Device Do-Not-Track Signals

Some devices and operating systems let you send a "Do-Not-Track" (DNT) or "Limit Ad Tracking" signal. Our App currently does not interpret these signals, but you can manage ad personalization in your iOS or Android privacy settings.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Please note: disabling certain trackers may affect core App functionality such as staying logged in or receiving personalized content.

• Limit or reset advertising identifiers (IDFA, GAID) in your device's privacy settings.
• Disable or delete cookies in your mobile browser if you access web content.
• Opt-out of Google Analytics via the GA Opt-out Browser Add-on (web only).
• Adjust ad personalization settings on platforms like Google and Facebook.

Your Consent

By continuing to use the Melan8 App, you consent to the placement of cookies and similar technologies on your device as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please adjust your device settings or discontinue use of the App.

Your Choices

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. If you disable cookies, some site features may not work as intended.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page and, if significant, provide a more prominent notice.
