Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) by websites you visit. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites function, operate more efficiently, and to provide usage and analytical information.

Folafy uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (including web beacons, local storage objects, and session tokens) on the Folafy Platform and Creator portfolio pages hosted on the Platform.

2.1 Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the Platform to function correctly and cannot be disabled. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or completing a checkout.

• Session Management: Maintaining your login state across Platform pages.

• Security: Protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and session hijacking.

• Checkout Handling: Maintaining cart state and purchase flow continuity.

• Theme Preferences: Remembering in-progress Theme Labs customization sessions.

2.2 Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect anonymous information about how users interact with the Platform, helping Folafy understand usage patterns and improve services.

• Page view counting and traffic source identification.

• Feature usage analytics to identify popular templates and tools.

• Performance monitoring to identify and resolve technical issues.

Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. Folafy uses trusted analytics providers for this purpose.

2.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced personalization and preference memory:

• Dark/Light Mode preference storage.

• Layout and density preference retention.

• Language and locale settings.

• User dashboard configuration preferences.

2.4 Marketing & Advertising Cookies (Future Use)

Folafy may implement marketing cookies in the future for:

• Advertising campaign measurement and attribution.

• Retargeting visitors who have previously interacted with the Platform.

• Cross-platform marketing campaign optimization.

Where marketing cookies are implemented, Folafy will update this Cookie Policy and obtain required user consent.

Upon first visiting the Folafy Platform, users are presented with a cookie consent banner. You may:

• Accept All Cookies: Consent to all cookie categories including analytics and functional cookies.

• Reject Non-Essential Cookies: Accept only strictly necessary cookies required for Platform operation.

• Customize Preferences: Select specific cookie categories to accept or reject.

Consent preferences are stored and can be updated at any time through the Cookie Settings option available in the Platform footer. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies does not affect processing that occurred prior to withdrawal. For GDPR-jurisdiction users, non-essential cookies will not be set without prior explicit consent.

Certain third-party services integrated with the Folafy Platform may place their own cookies on your device, including:

• Payment gateway cookies (Stripe, Razorpay) for secure checkout sessions.

• Authentication provider cookies (Firebase) for login state management.

• Analytics provider cookies for usage tracking.

Third-party cookies are governed by the respective third-party's cookie and privacy policies. Folafy does not control third-party cookie practices.

In addition to Folafy's consent management tools, you may control cookies through your browser settings:

• 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 > Privacy, Search and Services > Cookies

Please note that blocking essential cookies may impact the functionality of the Folafy Platform and prevent certain features from operating correctly.

Folafy may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in cookie usage practices or regulatory requirements. The updated policy will be published on the Platform with a revised effective date. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform's consent management interface.
