Last updated: March 29, 2026

Version: 1.1

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and understand how you use the site.

2. How We Use Cookies

Hooked uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

• Session management
• Security and authentication
• Load balancing

2.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our website and services.

• Google Analytics: Tracks page views, user sessions, and user behavior to help us understand website usage patterns
• Vercel Analytics: Measures website performance and user experience

2.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

2.4 Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.

2.5 Mobile App Local Storage

The Hooked mobile app uses device local storage (not browser cookies) to provide app functionality:

• Authentication Tokens: Secure storage (Expo SecureStore) for maintaining your logged-in session
• User Preferences: App settings, display preferences, and notification settings
• Cached Event Data: Temporary caching of event information for faster loading
• Location Cache: Country detection results cached locally for up to 24 hours for timezone and display purposes
• Navigation State: Current page and navigation history for seamless app experience

Mobile app local storage is different from browser cookies and is managed entirely within the app. Clearing app data or uninstalling the Hooked app removes all locally stored data from your device.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services. These include:

• Google Analytics (Google LLC): Website analytics and usage tracking
• Firebase (Google LLC): Authentication and app functionality
• Vercel (Vercel Inc.): Website hosting and performance analytics

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use data collected through cookies.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be classified by how long they persist:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually

5. Managing Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

• View what cookies are stored on your device
• Delete all or specific cookies
• Block all cookies or third-party cookies
• Set your browser to notify you when cookies are being set

Note that blocking all cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our website.

5.2 Opt-Out Links

You can opt out of specific analytics and advertising cookies:

• Google Analytics: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
• Google Ads: Google Ads Settings

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted industry standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals.

California Residents (CalOPPA): Under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), we are required to disclose how we respond to "Do Not Track" signals. As stated above, we do not currently respond to DNT signals. You may manage your privacy preferences through the cookie management and opt-out mechanisms described in Section 5 above.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
