1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognize your device and store certain information about your visit or preferences.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) TimeCatchApp uses on timecatchapp.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Statement.
2. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
A first-party cookie is set by TimeCatchApp directly. A third-party cookie is set by a service we've allowed to operate on our site — for example, an analytics or payment provider. TimeCatchApp's marketing website uses both.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary
These cookies are required for the website and Service to function (e.g., maintaining your session, processing payments, and security). They do not require consent, but are listed here for transparency.

|---|---|---|---|
| cf_* (various) | Cloudflare | Content delivery and security; helps route traffic and mitigate abuse | Session – 1 year |

4. Legal Basis
Where the ePrivacy rules and GDPR apply, we place cookies other than strictly necessary ones only after obtaining your consent, in line with the following legal bases:
- Strictly necessary cookies: legitimate interest in operating a functioning, secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); no consent required under the ePrivacy Directive.
- Analytics and Functional cookies: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), given through our cookie banner.
5. Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit timecatchapp.com, you will be shown a cookie banner where you can accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clicking Cookie Preferences in the website footer.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect the functionality of some parts of the website.
6. Do We Use Advertising Cookies?
No. TimeCatchApp does not currently run advertising or retargeting campaigns, and no advertising cookies are placed on this website. If that changes in the future, we will update this policy and our cookie banner accordingly before any such cookies are set.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. Material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date at the top of this page, and — where required — we will ask for your consent again.
