This Cookie Policy explains how ExpenzX ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the ExpenzX application and website (the "Service"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to operate more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies such as local storage and session tokens serve comparable purposes.
2. How We Use Cookies
ExpenzX uses cookies and similar technologies primarily to keep the Service secure and functional. We focus on what is strictly necessary to operate the app — we do not use cookies to sell your data or build advertising profiles. The ExpenzX mobile app does not use browser cookies, but it may use secure on-device storage and local preferences for authentication and app settings.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. They include:
- Authentication tokens — used to keep you securely signed in via Google OAuth and to verify your identity on each request.
- Session management — used to maintain your session as you navigate the app, including Auth.js/NextAuth session cookies such as
authjs.session-tokenor__Secure-authjs.session-token. - Security — used to protect against fraudulent activity and to enforce rate limiting.
3.2 Functional Cookies / Local Storage
These remember your preferences to give you a better experience, such as:
- Your selected theme (light, dark, or system mode), including local storage entries such as
inex-theme - Your preferred currency, fiscal-year settings, and display settings
- Interface preferences within the web or mobile app
3.3 Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by the third-party services we rely on to operate the Service:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Authentication and secure sign-in, including cookies set on Google-controlled pages during OAuth | |
| Stripe | Payment processing, fraud prevention, and subscription management on Stripe Checkout or Billing Portal pages |
These providers may set their own cookies in accordance with their respective privacy and cookie policies.
4. Cookies We Do Not Use
ExpenzX does not use advertising cookies, behavioural advertising cookies, or cookies to sell your personal data to advertisers or data brokers.
5. Managing Your Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually:
- View the cookies stored on your device
- Delete some or all cookies
- Block cookies from being set
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in and using the Service, as these cookies are essential for authentication and security.
For guidance on managing cookies, refer to your browser's help documentation:
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the "Last updated" date above.
