Cookie Policy
Last updated: 18 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how RoutineRoot uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website or use our app. We use cookies to provide, secure, and improve our service.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the app to function. They enable authentication, session management, and security features. Without them, you cannot log in or use core features.
- Authentication token: Keeps you logged in securely
- Session cookie: Maintains your active session
- Security cookie: Protects against unauthorised access
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and personalise your experience.
- Child selection: Remembers the last child profile viewed
- Display preferences: Remembers theme and layout choices
2.3 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how users interact with the app so we can improve it. Data is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
- Usage statistics: Which features are used most
- Performance metrics: Page load times and error rates
2.4 Payment Cookies
When you complete a purchase via Stripe, payment-related cookies may be set to ensure a secure transaction. Card details are never stored by RoutineRoot — they are handled entirely by Stripe.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use:
- Stripe: Secure payment processing
- Analytics providers: Aggregated usage insights
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review them.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the app.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
5. Do Not Track
We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no universal standard for how to interpret them. However, we respect your right to manage cookies through your browser settings.
6. Cookies and Children
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies for child profiles. Children's interactions within the app are processed only to deliver the service (e.g., showing their routines and points) and are not used for profiling or marketing.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as we introduce new features or change how we use cookies. We will notify you of significant changes via email or in-app notification.
