Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites and apps you visit. They are widely used to make services work more efficiently and to provide information to service providers. Rooted uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and device identifiers) to operate the Service and improve your experience.

This Cookie Policy explains what technologies we use, why we use them, and the choices you have. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal information more broadly.

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They enable:

• ✓Authentication: keeping you signed in across sessions
• ✓Session management: maintaining your active session securely
• ✓Security: CSRF tokens and fraud prevention
• ✓Load balancing: distributing traffic across our servers

Essential cookies cannot be disabled, as the Service cannot operate without them.

Functional cookies remember your preferences, such as your preferred Bible translation, devotional focus areas, and display settings, so you do not have to reconfigure them each time you open the app.

Analytics cookies collect aggregated, pseudonymized data about how you interact with features. This helps us identify which features are most used, where users encounter difficulties, and how we can improve. We never use analytics data to identify you personally or to build an advertising profile.

Some features of Rooted may involve third-party services that set their own cookies:

These third parties set and access their own cookies on your device. We do not control their cookie practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

You have several options for managing cookies:

• ✓Essential cookies cannot be turned off, as the Service requires them to function.
• ✓Functional and analytics cookies can be managed through your in-app settings.
• ✓You can clear cookies at any time through your browser or device settings.
• ✓Disabling some cookies may affect the functionality of certain features.

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

• ▸View all cookies stored on your device
• ▸Block third-party cookies entirely
• ▸Clear cookies and site data when you close the browser
• ▸Set preferences for specific websites

For instructions specific to your browser, visit the browser manufacturer's help pages. Note that blocking all cookies may prevent you from using certain features of Rooted.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. When we make material changes, we will:

• ▸Post a notice within the Rooted app
• ▸Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy
• ▸Where required by law, seek your consent

Your continued use of Rooted after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
