Simple summary for parents

Cookies and similar technologies can help a website remember preferences, protect security, measure basic performance, and keep a service working. For a children’s product, they must be handled carefully and transparently.

  • Kids Browser does not use cookies to build advertising profiles about children.
  • Essential cookies may be used for security, downloads, preferences, and basic website operation.
  • Optional analytics or marketing cookies, if added, should be used only where allowed and with the required choice or consent.
  • Family settings inside the Kids Browser app may use local device storage, but this is different from website advertising cookies.
  • Parents can control browser cookies and contact us with questions.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small files placed on a device by a website. They can help a website recognize the same browser, remember a language choice, keep security settings, prevent abuse, or understand whether a page works correctly.

Some cookies are temporary and disappear when the browser is closed. Others may remain for a defined period unless the parent or user deletes them through browser settings.

2. Similar technologies

This policy also covers similar technologies that store information on, or read information from, a device. These may include local storage, session storage, device identifiers, pixels, tags, software logs, and app configuration storage.

Inside Kids Browser, local storage may also be used to remember family-friendly settings, such as allowed shortcuts, blocked sites, child profile preferences, media controls, and usage configuration chosen by the parent.

3. Cookies and storage we may use

The exact cookies used may change as we improve the website and app. We aim to keep the list limited and focused on safety, reliability, and family control.

Category Examples Purpose Consent approach
Strictly necessary cookies Security tokens, anti-abuse checks, download session data, basic site operation Keep the website secure, load pages, prevent abuse, and provide requested functions Usually required to provide the service
Preference cookies Language, region, display choices, cookie choice record Remember parent or visitor choices so the website is easier to use Used where appropriate; may be disabled in browser settings
Performance or analytics cookies Aggregated page visits, error events, device type, approximate performance data Understand whether the website works correctly and improve speed, stability, and accessibility Optional where required by law
Payment and subscription cookies Checkout session, fraud prevention, billing status, invoice flow Process premium purchases, prevent fraud, and complete subscription management May be necessary for checkout or controlled by the payment provider
App local storage Child nickname, allowed sites, blocked sites, shortcuts, time limits, parental settings Operate family controls inside the Kids Browser application Controlled by the parent through app settings or device management
Marketing cookies Campaign attribution or ad measurement on general website pages Measure public website campaigns, if enabled in the future Not used for children’s behavioral advertising; optional where required

4. Children and tracking

Kids Browser is designed for family use. We do not intend to use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to track children across websites for behavioral advertising.

  • We do not sell children’s personal information.
  • We do not knowingly use children’s data for cross-site behavioral advertising.
  • We do not ask children to accept optional cookies or create advertising profiles.
  • Parents should configure the browser and supervise the websites their children visit.

Third-party websites opened inside Kids Browser may use their own cookies, ads, tracking technologies, accounts, or content systems. Parents should review and control which websites children can access.

6. Third-party services

We may use third-party service providers for hosting, security, email, support, payment processing, analytics, diagnostics, fonts, and website infrastructure. These providers may set or read cookies or similar technologies when necessary for their service.

Third-party websites opened by a child or parent inside Kids Browser are not controlled by Kids Browser. They may use cookies for login, video playback, games, ads, comments, analytics, personalization, or other purposes under their own policies.

7. How to control cookies

Parents and users can usually control cookies through browser settings. Options may include blocking cookies, deleting cookies, clearing site data, disabling third-party cookies, or setting stricter privacy controls.

  • Blocking all cookies may break login, download, checkout, language, or support features.
  • Deleting cookies may reset preferences or require choices to be made again.
  • Third-party cookie blocking may reduce tracking but can affect some embedded services.
  • Inside Kids Browser, parents can also manage child-facing website access through parental controls.

8. Local family settings inside Kids Browser

Some Kids Browser features may store configuration locally on the device. This can include shortcuts, child profile preferences, allowed or blocked sites, media controls, parental-control options, and usage settings.

These local settings are used to make the browser work for the family. They are not the same as third-party advertising cookies. Parents can remove or reset them by changing settings, deleting profiles, clearing app data, or uninstalling the app, depending on the feature and device.

9. Cookie duration and retention

Cookie duration depends on the cookie type. Session cookies may expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies may remain for a limited period to remember preferences, security choices, consent choices, or subscription status.

We aim to keep cookies and similar data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose described in this policy, our Privacy Policy, security needs, legal obligations, billing, or support.

10. Do Not Track and privacy signals

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals. Because there is no single universal standard for how all websites must respond to these signals, our response may vary by feature, region, and technical capability.

Where required by applicable law, we will honor legally recognized opt-out or consent signals that apply to our service.

11. Relationship with the Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, secure, and retain personal information more broadly.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time when our website, app, providers, analytics tools, payment flows, or legal requirements change. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
