This Cookie Policy explains how FND Forward ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at fnd-forward.com and within our mobile application (collectively, our "Service"). This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal information.

By using our Service, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies in accordance with this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to our use of cookies and similar technologies as set out in this policy, you should set your browser or device settings accordingly or not use our Service.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you access the internet or use our app. These text files enable our Service to recognize your device. They help us provide features and functionality, understand how users interact with our Service, remember your preferences, and generally improve your experience.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies that store or access information on your device, such as:

  • Web beacons: Small graphic images (also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") that may be included on our Service and typically work in conjunction with cookies to identify our users and user behavior.
  • Local storage: Browser web storage that allows websites to store data in a browser on a device. Local storage is used for authentication, maintaining preferences, and caching data to improve performance.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
