Cookie Policy

Effective Date: July 30, 2026
The Short Version
This page explains, in plain language, which cookies our website uses when you access Tinkr in a web browser, why we use them, and how long they last. It applies to the web version of Tinkr only — our native mobile app doesn't use browser cookies (see our Privacy Policy for what the app uses instead).

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They let the site remember things about you or your visit, such as whether you're logged in.

2. Cookies We Currently Use

Right now, Tinkr's website only uses essential cookies. Under GDPR (and the ePrivacy Directive), essential cookies don't require your consent because the site can't function without them — but we still tell you about them here for transparency.

Cookie Category Purpose Lifespan
Session/Auth Token Essential Keeps you logged in as you move between pages Session (deleted when you close your browser) or up to 30 days if you choose "stay signed in"
Cookie Consent Choice Essential Remembers your advertising choice in Google's consent message, so it doesn't ask again every visit (set by Google, only when ads are on) Up to 13 months
CSRF Protection Token Essential Protects your account against cross-site request forgery attacks Session
No analytics cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels or other cookie-based tracking for statistics. We count visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device.

3. Advertising Cookies (only with your consent)

Tinkr may show an ad from Google AdSense in the task feed. When ads are switched on, EU visitors first see Google's consent message (a consent tool certified by Google under the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework). Google only uses advertising cookies, and only shows personalised ads, if you agree there. If you decline, Google may still show non-personalised or limited ads, without advertising cookies. Google's use of this data is described in Google's advertising policy.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time (see below).

The Tinkr font is served from tinkr.care itself, so loading the site does not contact Google Fonts.

4. Managing Your Cookie Choice

You can change your advertising choice at any time in the app under Settings → Cookie Settings, which reopens Google's consent message. You can also block or delete cookies directly through your browser settings, though doing so may prevent you from staying logged in.

5. Questions?

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, contact us at privacy@tinkr.care. For more on how we handle your personal data generally, see our Privacy Policy.
