Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device so that it can recognise you between pages or between visits. Browsers offer similar tools, such as local storage and session storage, which websites use for the same purposes. This policy covers all of them. Cookies are commonly used to keep you signed in, to remember preferences, and, on many sites, to track what you do for analytics or advertising.

untangledlife.com.au does not set any cookies, and it does not write anything to local storage or session storage. There is nothing to accept or decline, which is why you have not seen a cookie banner.

In particular:

• No analytics cookies. We count visits to this site with Vercel Web Analytics, which runs without cookies and writes nothing to your browser. It tells us how many people came, which pages they read and which site sent them, and nothing about who they are: no IP address is kept, and the hash it uses to tell one visit from another is discarded after 24 hours. We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Plausible or any other analytics service. Our Privacy Policy (section 3) lists exactly what is recorded.
• No advertising or tracking cookies. There are no ad network tags, no social media pixels and no cross-site tracking of any description.
• No sign-in cookies. The website has no account or login. The app is where you sign in, and that is covered in section 4.
• No preference cookies. The website follows your browser's light or dark setting and does not need to remember anything to do that.

Joining the waitlist sends the name and email you type straight to our server. That request does not set a cookie, and the site does not remember afterwards that you signed up.

The website is hosted by Vercel, which also provides the cookieless visit counting described in section 2, and the waitlist is stored by Supabase. Neither places cookies in your browser on our behalf when you visit this site. We embed no third-party widgets, videos, fonts served from tracking networks, or social media buttons, so no other company has the opportunity to set a cookie here.

Our hosting provider keeps short-lived connection logs, including IP addresses, to detect abuse and diagnose faults. That happens on the server, not in your browser, and is described in our Privacy Policy.

The Untangled Life app is not a website, and it does not use cookies. It does keep a small amount of information on your phone so that it works the way you expect. None of it is used to track you, and none of it is shared with anyone.

• Your sign-in session. A token from our authentication provider that keeps you signed in so you do not have to enter your password every time you open the app. It is stored in the app's private storage on your phone and is removed when you sign out.
• Your appearance settings. Whether you have chosen light, dark or system appearance, which accent colour you picked, and which background style. These are stored on the device only, which is why they do not follow you to a second phone.
• Whether you have turned on the app lock. If you choose to lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID or your phone's fingerprint, the app stores only the fact that the lock is on. The check itself is done by your phone; we never receive anything about your face or fingerprint.
• A partner's invite code that arrived by link. If you open an invite link before you have an account, the app keeps the six-character code on your phone so it can offer it to you once you have signed up. It is removed when it is used or dismissed, and after seven days regardless.

Everything else you set up, such as your working hours, calendar sharing levels and the layout of your home screen, is stored in your account so that both of your devices agree. That information is covered by the Privacy Policy, not this one.

The app contains no analytics or advertising software, so there is no advertising identifier collected and no usage tracking. Deleting the app deletes everything it stored on your phone.

Because this site sets no cookies, there is nothing of ours to manage. If you would like to control cookies from other sites, every major browser lets you view, block or delete them:

• Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies or Site settings.
• Safari: Settings, then Privacy. On iPhone: Settings, then Apps, then Safari.
• Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security.
• Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.

Blocking all cookies in your browser will not affect this website, because it does not rely on any.

If we ever add a cookie or a similar technology, whether for a web version of the app or for sign-in on this site, we will list it here with what it does and how long it lasts, update the date at the top of this page, and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before it is set. We will not add advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
