Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give site owners useful information about how their site is being used.

AppReviewLens uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Authentication and security — to keep you signed in and protect your account.
• Core functionality — to remember your preferences and ensure the platform works correctly.
• Analytics — to understand how visitors interact with our site so we can improve the product.
• Functional enhancements — to remember settings and choices you make on the platform.

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as authentication (via Firebase), session management, and security protections. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate properly.

Examples: Firebase Authentication session tokens, CSRF protection tokens, cookie consent preference.

These cookies cannot be disabled.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use AppReviewLens. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how users navigate the site, and whether users encounter errors. This data is aggregated and anonymous.

Examples: Google Analytics (if enabled), internal usage tracking.

These cookies are only set after you provide consent.

3.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as display preferences or recently viewed apps) and provide enhanced, personalised features. They do not track your activity across other websites.

These cookies are only set after you provide consent.

Some cookies may be set by third-party services that we use to operate the platform:

• Firebase (Google) — used for authentication and database services.
• Stripe — used for secure payment processing when subscribing to a paid plan. Stripe may set its own cookies during the checkout process.

These third-party services have their own cookie and privacy policies. We encourage you to review them:

• Google Privacy Policy
• Stripe Privacy Policy

When you first visit AppReviewLens, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to:

• Accept all cookies — enables all cookie categories.
• Reject non-essential cookies — only essential cookies will be used.
• Manage preferences — choose which specific categories of cookies to allow.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the website footer.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the website from functioning correctly.

Cookie consent preferences are stored for up to 12 months. After this period, you will be asked to confirm your preferences again.

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the period specified in the cookie or until you delete them manually.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page when changes are made.
