Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how TruFilipinas uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our platform. By using TruFilipinas, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience. Cookies are widely used across the internet and are essential for many website features to work properly.
Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as authentication (keeping you logged in), security, and session management. Without these cookies, the platform cannot operate. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information about page views, traffic sources, and user behavior in an anonymized form. This helps us improve the platform and provide a better experience.
Functional cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and choices (such as your language, region, or display settings) to provide a more personalized experience. They may also be used to remember whether you have dismissed certain notifications or banners.
Performance cookies
These cookies help us monitor and improve the performance of our website. They collect data about how the site loads, which pages are visited most, and any errors that occur. This information is used solely to improve the platform.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We use the following third-party services that may set cookies:
- Google Analytics — for website traffic analysis and usage statistics
- Stripe — for secure payment processing (only when making a purchase)
- Supabase — for authentication and session management
How long do cookies last?
Cookies can be either "session" cookies or "persistent" cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. We use both types depending on the purpose.
Managing your cookie preferences
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings — Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Check your browser's help section for instructions.
- Cookie banner — When you first visit TruFilipinas, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies via our cookie banner.
- Google Analytics opt-out — You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of the website and prevent you from using certain features such as logging in.
Local storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to store session data, user preferences, and authentication tokens. Local storage works similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data and does not expire automatically. You can clear local storage through your browser settings.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date.
