Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 14, 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.

2. Our Cookie Philosophy

We believe in keeping things simple and respecting your privacy. Unlike many websites, we use only essential cookies required to make ShiftReply work properly.

3. Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies (Required)

We use only one type of cookie, and it's absolutely necessary for the Service to function:

Authentication Session Cookie

  • Purpose: Keeps you logged in to your account
  • Type: Session cookie
  • Duration: Expires when you close your browser (or 30 days if "Remember me" is checked)
  • Data stored: Encrypted session identifier
  • Can be disabled: No - required for login functionality

That's it. We don't use any other cookies.

4. What We Don't Use

To be crystal clear, we do NOT use:

  • Analytics cookies: We don't track your browsing behavior
  • Advertising cookies: We don't serve ads or track you for advertising
  • Marketing cookies: We don't use cookies for marketing purposes
  • Third-party cookies: We don't allow third parties to set cookies
  • Social media cookies: We don't integrate social media tracking

5. Why We Keep It Simple

Most websites use dozens of cookies to track your every move. We think that's invasive and unnecessary. ShiftReply only needs one cookie to keep you logged in. That's it.

6. Managing Cookies

Since we only use essential authentication cookies, disabling them would prevent you from logging in to ShiftReply. However, you can still:

  • Clear your session by logging out
  • Delete cookies through your browser settings
  • Use private/incognito browsing mode

Browser Settings

You can manage cookies in your browser settings:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Privacy → Cookies

7. Updates to This Policy

If we ever need to use additional cookies (which we don't plan to), we will:

  • Update this Cookie Policy
  • Notify you via email
  • Request your consent if required by law

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)

We use exactly one cookie to keep you logged in. No tracking, no analytics, no ads, no nonsense. Just a simple session cookie so you don't have to log in every time you visit.
