    COOKIE POLICY

    Last updated: August 2026

    This Cookie Policy explains how WhaleWatch uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you use the Service.

    What are cookies?

    Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Local storage is a similar browser technology that allows websites to store data on your device. We use both to provide a secure and functional experience.

    Essential cookies and storage

    These are strictly necessary for the Service to operate. They include authentication session tokens, CSRF protection tokens, and security-related identifiers. Without these, you cannot log in or use core features.

    Functional cookies and storage

    We use local storage and cookies to remember your preferences, such as theme settings, UI state, dashboard filters, and selected sportsbooks. These improve your experience but are not strictly necessary for the Service to function.

    Analytics

    We may use a small number of first-party analytics events to understand feature usage and improve the Service. These do not involve third-party advertising trackers or cross-site behavioral advertising.

    How to manage cookies

    Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from accessing the Service or using certain features.

    Changes to this policy

    We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
