1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as authentication state, display preferences, and theme) over a period of time.
In addition to cookies, we use modern browser localStorage and sessionStorage to manage ephemeral cryptographic tokens and customer upload queues client-side.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies
These cookies are essential for you to browse the site and use its features securely. They authenticate shop owners, protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and maintain encrypted session state. Without these, Pokodrop cannot function.
B. Analytics & Performance Cookies
We use privacy-friendly analytics (such as Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns, visitor counts, and page performance so we can continuously optimize platform speed. All analytics data is collected in anonymized form.
C. Advertising & Sponsor Cookies (Google AdSense)
Pokodrop provides a Free Forever starter tier supported by digital advertisements. We partner with Google AdSense and certified third-party ad networks. Google uses cookies (including DoubleClick / DART cookies) to serve relevant advertisements to users based on prior visits to our site and other websites on the Internet.
