Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technology, such as local storage, keeps information on your device in the same way. In this policy "cookies" means all of them.
Under EU and Cyprus law, we may use cookies that are strictly necessary for a service you asked for without your consent. Every other cookie needs your consent first.
1. The app and guest pages: essential only
On app.kukuva.cy, on the guest pages where guests add photos and messages, and on the photo wall, we use only what is needed for them to work. There are no analytics or advertising cookies there.
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| kukuva_session | keeps a host signed in | until you sign out or the session ends |
| XSRF-TOKEN | protects forms against cross-site request forgery | the same as the session |
| Guest code (local storage) | lets a guest's phone see and delete its own uploads, and keeps an album password entered | until you clear your browser data |
| Language and "seen" notes (local storage) | remembers your language, that you saw the welcome screen, or skipped the guest form | until you clear your browser data |
| Cloudflare security cookies (such as __cf_bm) | tell people from bots and protect the service against attacks | up to 30 minutes |
The guest pages can be installed on a phone like an app. That stores the page's files on the phone so it opens quickly, and holds no personal data.
2. kukuva.cy: you choose
On our website kukuva.cy we use:
| Category | Used for | Examples | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | showing the site securely and remembering your cookie choice | your consent choice, Cloudflare security cookies | always |
| Analytics | counting visits and seeing which pages help people, so we can improve the site | Google Analytics (_ga, ga*), kept up to 2 years | only after you agree |
| Marketing | measuring our ads and showing Kukuva to people who may be interested | Meta Pixel (_fbp), kept up to 3 months | only after you agree |
Analytics and marketing tools do not load at all until you agree in the cookie banner. If you choose "Reject", nothing but the essential cookies is used.
3. Live chat
The live chat (tawk.to) loads only when you press the chat button. Until then nothing is sent to tawk.to and no chat cookies are set. When you start a chat, tawk.to stores cookies that keep your conversation together (such as TawkConnectionTime and twk_uuid_*), for up to 6 months.
4. Sign in with Google
If you choose to sign in with Google, Google may set its own cookies during that sign-in, under Google's privacy policy.
5. Changing your mind
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page on kukuva.cy. Withdrawing is as easy as agreeing. You can also delete cookies or block them in your browser's settings. If you block essential cookies, signing in and some features will not work.
