Cookies & Tracking Policy
1. Introduction
App Config.json ("we," "our," or "us") values your privacy and transparency. This policy outlines the types of cookies and tracking technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
Our services include the App Config.json dashboard, SDK documentation, API endpoints, and developer tools. This policy works in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
3. Cookie Categories
We categorize our cookies based on their purpose and necessity:
| Category | Purpose | Duration | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Authentication, session management, security tokens, CSRF protection | Session / 24h | Yes |
| Functional | UI preferences (dark mode, language), feature flag states, dashboard layout | 1 year | No |
| Performance & Analytics | Usage statistics, error tracking, load time monitoring, anonymous behavior analytics | 2 years | No |
| Personalization & Marketing | Content customization, retargeting pixels, conversion tracking | 6-12 months | No |
Strictly Necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are essential for core platform functionality, including secure API authentication and configuration synchronization.
4. Third-Party Tracking Services
We partner with trusted third-party providers to improve reliability, security, and user experience. These services may set their own cookies:
- Cloudflare – DDoS protection, CDN, and security bot mitigation
- Sentry – Error tracking and application performance monitoring
- Plausible Analytics – Privacy-focused, GDPR-compliant usage analytics (no personal data collected)
