Cookie Policy

Important: This policy explains how TimeForSalah may use cookies, local storage, service workers, and similar technologies. It is general information, not legal advice. Cookie and consent rules vary by country, so you should ask a qualified lawyer to review it.

1. What this policy covers

This policy covers cookies, local storage, cache storage, service workers, device identifiers, browser permissions, and similar technologies used to operate, protect, remember, improve, and personalise the app.

2. Essential technologies

We may use essential storage for login, security, app routing, selected masjid, guest device identifiers, timetable caching, language, theme, accessibility settings, notification settings, service worker operation, fraud prevention, and core app functionality. Some features may not work if these are blocked or deleted.

3. Preference storage

We may store preferences such as selected masjid, recent masjids, favourite settings, language, appearance, accessibility choices, install prompt dismissal, notification choices, prayer reminder offsets, and local guest identifiers so the app feels consistent across visits.

4. Notifications and service workers

If you enable notifications or install the app, browser service workers and push subscription data may be used to deliver prayer reminders, cache app files, and support offline or app-like behaviour. Notifications may be controlled or disabled through your browser or device settings.

5. Analytics, logs, and reliability

We may use limited analytics, technical logs, error reports, and performance data to understand app usage, detect abuse, improve reliability, and fix issues. Where legally required, non-essential analytics may require consent.

6. Third-party technologies

Third-party services such as hosting, authentication, maps, APIs, email, browser push services, embedded widgets, analytics, file storage, or external links may use their own cookies or similar technologies. Their policies apply to their services, and we are not responsible for their practices.

7. Managing cookies and storage

You can manage cookies, local storage, notification permissions, location permissions, camera permissions, and service worker data in your browser or device settings. Clearing storage may reset app preferences, remove guest history, disable reminders, or require you to set up features again.

8. Consent choices

Where the law requires consent for optional cookies or similar technologies, we will aim to request it where appropriate. Essential technologies needed to provide, secure, or remember requested app features may still be used where allowed by law.

We may update this policy as the app changes. Continued use of the app means you accept the updated policy where allowed by law. For questions, contact salam@timeforsalah.com.
