A short, transparent overview of how PathLingo uses cookies and similar technologies.
PathLingo is a mobile app — we don't use browser cookies. We only use essential on-device storage to keep you logged in and save your preferences. We don't track you for advertising. That's it.

As a mobile application, PathLingo does not use traditional browser cookies. However, we use the following on-device technologies to ensure the app works properly:
| Technology | Purpose | Type |

| Local Preferences | Save your language, theme, notification settings | Essential |
| Cached Lesson Data | Enable offline access to downloaded lessons | Essential |
| Analytics SDK | Collect anonymized usage stats to improve the app | Functional |
| Crash Reports | Identify and fix bugs automatically | Functional |

For users under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction), we limit all on-device storage to strictly essential functionality only. Analytics and crash reporting SDKs operate in a privacy-safe, anonymized mode for child users. No behavioral tracking is performed on children's accounts.
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change how we use cookies or similar technologies. The "Effective" date at the top will be updated accordingly. For material changes, we'll notify you via the app or email.
