Cookie policy
Essential by default.
CATCH UP! uses a small amount of browser storage (cookies, local and session storage). This policy follows the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR: essential storage needs no consent; anything else runs only after you opt in. Last updated 5 October 2026.
What we store
Sign-in session
Essential
Keeps you signed in and refreshes your session securely.
Kept: Until you sign out (or browser close if "remember me" is off)
Remember this device
Essential
Remembers whether you ticked "remember me".
Kept: Until you sign out
Cookie choice
Essential
Stores your consent choice so we don't ask on every visit.
Kept: 12 months, or until the policy changes
Invite code
Essential
Holds a friend's invite while you finish signing up.
Kept: Until redeemed
App preferences
Essential
Remembers dismissed tips and the browser-alerts prompt.

Product analytics
Optional — off by default
First-party counts of product events (e.g. switching on a porch light). Not shared with advertisers, no cross-site tracking.
Kept: Only after you choose Accept
What we don't do
- No advertising, retargeting or social-media tracking pixels.
- No third-party fonts or embeds that send your address elsewhere — fonts are served from our own site.
- No pre-ticked boxes. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and using the site doesn't count as consent.
Your choices
Change or withdraw consent any time — withdrawing is as easy as giving it, and stops optional storage from that point on. You can also clear storage in your browser settings; essential storage being removed will sign you out.
