Cookie Policy

What cookies, localStorage entries, and tap-event tracking OMIPOKA uses, and how you can control them.

Last updated: 2026-07-08

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files websites store on your device to remember preferences or login state. The Service also uses the browser’s localStorage / sessionStorage (same idea).

2. Cookies / Storage We Use

Essential cookies (cannot be disabled):

  • Firebase Auth session: keeps you signed in
  • NEXT_LOCALE: remembers your UI language choice (Traditional Chinese / English)

Preference storage (localStorage):

  • omipoka_welcomed: flag that the welcome modal has been shown
  • omipoka_en_banner_dismissed_v1: flag that the English UI announcement toast has been dismissed
  • omipoka_device_id: cross-session device identifier (for FCM push, no personal data)

Third-party cookies:

  • Google account sign-in: Google sets its own cookies when used

After you choose “Accept all” on the cookie banner, we use:

  • Google Analytics 4 (loaded via Google Tag Manager): _ga, _ga_* cookies for anonymous traffic and conversion analysis. No name, email, phone or address is collected.
  • omipoka_consent: remembers your cookie choice (180 days, shared between omipoka.com and app.omipoka.com).
  • omipoka_attr: records the channel of your first visit (UTM parameters, referrer domain, landing path; 90 days) so we can understand which marketing channels work. It contains no personal data.

You can withdraw consent anytime by clearing your browser cookies; choosing “Essential only” keeps all of the above off.

3. What You Can Do

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may break features like staying signed in.

Where to find cookie controls:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
  • Safari (Mac): Safari → Settings → Privacy → Cookies
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
  • Use the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer to change your choice at any time

4. Changes

This policy may change as new features add new cookies. Material changes will be announced via the dashboard.

5. Tap Event Tracking

When any visitor taps an NFC card and lands on the public page, the Service records:

  • Visit timestamp
  • Referrer
  • Country (inferred from the Cloudflare edge IP — no precise location)

This data is stored in the Firestore tap_events collection and used for:

  • Showing the card owner the “tap count” (Tap Analytics feature)
  • Anomalous-tap alerts (auto-notify the owner when one card is tapped > 10 times in an hour)

If a visitor additionally taps the “Share location to help locate” button, precise GPS coordinates are captured and attached to that tap_event. See Privacy Policy §8.

On your first visit, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page:

  • “Accept all”: enables the items listed in the “Analytics Cookies” section above
  • “Essential only”: uses only the essential cookies required to keep the Service running, with no analytics enabled
  • Your choice is recorded in omipoka_consent (180 days, shared between omipoka.com and app.omipoka.com), and you won’t be asked again during that period
  • To change your choice, click “Cookie Preferences” in the footer to reopen the banner, or clear your browser cookies
