Cribz, LLC (“Cribz,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies, local-storage objects, service-worker caches, and similar technologies (collectively, “cookies”) across our websites, Progressive Web App (“PWA”), and mobile/desktop applications (together, the “Platform”). This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we and our partners use them, and the choices you have.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or use an app. They allow the site or app to recognize your device on subsequent visits. Related technologies—such as HTML5 local-storage, IndexedDB, and service-worker caches—serve a similar purpose by storing information in your browser.
2. How We Use Cookies
- Authentication & Security – remember your login session (e.g.,
cribz_session), keep you signed in across pages, and help prevent fraudulent activity. - Preferences – store dark-mode, color-theme, language, and location settings (
dark_mode,color_theme,locale), and remember dismissed pop-ups or AI drawer states. - PWA Offline Access – allow the service-worker cache to store static assets and recently viewed listings so key pages load even when you are offline.
- AI History & Drafts – keep track of your AI prompts locally until you choose to save or share them.
- Analytics – measure traffic, diagnose errors, and understand feature usage so we can improve the Platform.
- Personalization & Recommendations – tailor property suggestions, curated lists, and marketing messages based on your interests and browsing behavior.
