Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators useful information.

2. How We Use Cookies

Deal Insights uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function properly. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, the Service cannot operate correctly.

• Authentication cookies: Keep you logged in as you navigate between pages
• Session cookies: Maintain your session state and preferences
• Security cookies: Help protect against fraudulent activity and unauthorized access

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences and settings.

• Preference cookies: Remember your display settings and UI preferences
• Onboarding cookies: Track your progress through the guided tour so it is not shown again
• Feature cookies: Remember choices you make to provide enhanced features

Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Service by collecting and reporting information. This helps us improve the Service's performance and user experience.

3. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage and session storage for similar purposes. These technologies allow us to store data locally on your device to improve performance and maintain your preferences. Local storage data includes:

• User interface preferences and settings
• Onboarding completion status
• Cached application data for improved performance

4. Service Worker and Caching

As a Progressive Web App (PWA), Deal Insights uses a service worker to cache application assets (JavaScript, CSS, images, and fonts) on your device. This enables faster load times on repeat visits and limited offline functionality. The service worker does not cache personal or business data — only the application's static assets.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We use the following third-party services that may set their own cookies:

• Stripe: Payment processing — sets cookies for fraud prevention and secure checkout sessions
• Google Fonts: Web font delivery — may set cookies for font caching and performance optimization

We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing their respective cookie and privacy policies.

6. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu of your browser. You can:

• View and delete existing cookies
• Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
• Set preferences for certain websites
• Configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is set

Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent the Service from functioning properly. You may not be able to log in or use key features if essential cookies are blocked.

7. Clearing PWA Cache

If you have installed Deal Insights as a Progressive Web App, you can clear the cached data through your browser's developer tools or by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. The in-app update notification will prompt you when a new version is available.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the revised policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
