1. Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how Tonic App Ltd ("Tonic", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on the tonicapp.co website, and the equivalent identifiers we use in the Tonic iOS app. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time. We also use similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels on the website, and mobile SDKs and device identifiers in the app, which serve comparable purposes.
3. Cookies we use on the website
On tonicapp.co we use a small number of cookies and similar technologies, grouped by purpose. Only strictly necessary ones are used by default; analytics and advertising cookies are set only if you agree to them in our cookie banner.
- Strictly necessary
- Required for the website to function — for example, maintaining your session, keeping the site secure, balancing load, and remembering your cookie choices (stored in your browser’s local storage). These cannot be switched off through our interface.
- Analytics & performance
- Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. With your consent, we use Google Analytics (GA4) and Google Firebase, which set cookies (such as _ga) or use identifiers to measure page views and general usage patterns. This data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.
- Advertising
- With your consent, Google Ads sets cookies (such as _gcl_au) to measure which of our ads lead people to the site and to download the app, and to show Tonic ads to people who have visited before. If you don’t consent, Google receives no advertising cookies from our site, and only limited, cookieless signals under Google Consent Mode.
- Preferences
- Remember choices you make — such as previously dismissed notices — so the site behaves the way you expect on your next visit.
4. Identifiers in the mobile app
The Tonic app does not use browser cookies, but it uses comparable technologies to operate. These include Firebase (for push notifications, analytics, and crash reporting) and a device identifier used to deliver notifications and keep the app reliable. You can control app tracking and notification permissions in your device settings. See our Privacy Policy for details on the data these technologies collect.
5. Third-party technologies
Some cookies and identifiers are set by third parties who provide services to us, such as Google (Analytics, Firebase, Google Ads). Their use of information is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
6. Managing cookies and your choices
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Cookie banner — choose Accept all, Reject all or pick individual categories when you first visit. You can change your mind at any time with the “Cookie settings” link in the website footer; withdrawing consent removes our analytics and advertising cookies.
- Browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies and warn you before they are set. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working.
- Analytics opt-out — you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on.
- Global Privacy Control — where supported, we honour recognised browser privacy signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC): when your browser sends it, advertising cookies stay off.
- App permissions — manage notification and tracking permissions in your device settings.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our technologies or legal obligations change. When we do, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you.
