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 efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners. Cookies may be "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).

Rent Flow Expense uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service and improve your experience. We use the following types of cookies:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They cannot be switched off. They include:

• Authentication tokens: We store JWT access tokens and refresh tokens in memory and localStorage to keep you logged in during your session
• Session management: Cookies that maintain your logged-in state and security context
• Security cookies: Used to detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect against unauthorized access

These cookies do not track you across other websites and are solely used to provide the Service.

2.2 Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your choices to personalize your experience:

• Theme preference: We store your light/dark mode preference in localStorage
• Currency and display settings: Your currency, budget, and display preferences are stored to maintain your chosen configuration between sessions

2.3 Third-Party Cookies

Certain features of the Service use third-party services that may set their own cookies:

• Stripe: Our payment processor may set cookies to prevent fraud and ensure secure payment processing
• Google Identity Services: If you use Google Sign-In, Google may set cookies to manage authentication

These third-party cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties. We encourage you to review their policies:

• Stripe Privacy Policy
• Google Privacy Policy

2.4 Analytics

We currently do not use third-party analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics). If this changes, we will update this policy and seek your consent where required.

In addition to cookies, we use browser localStorage to store:

• Authentication tokens (access token and refresh token)
• User preferences (theme, display settings)

This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to third parties except as necessary to authenticate with our servers.

4.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View what cookies are stored on your device
• Delete cookies individually or all at once
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Block all cookies (note: this will prevent the Service from working correctly)

Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

4.2 Opt-Out Limitations

Please note that if you disable strictly necessary cookies or clear localStorage, you will be logged out of the Service and some features may not function correctly. Preference cookies can be cleared without affecting core functionality, though your preferences will be reset.

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. The Service does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals as there is no standard for how websites should respond to such signals. We will revisit this policy as industry standards develop.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. We will update the effective date at the top of this document when changes are made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
