Cookie & Telemetry Policy

1. What Are Cookies and Local Identifiers?

Cookies and local storage identifiers are small data elements stored in your web browser when visiting websites or scanning physical NFC tags. They are utilized to operate essential authentication features, protect administrative portals, and compute aggregated engagement metrics for business owners.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Essential Security Cookies:These cookies are mandatory for platform operation. For example, our cryptographic session token (growtap_2fa_session) maintains encrypted administrator logins and enforces multi-factor authentication. These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking system security.
• NFC Stand Telemetry Identifiers:When patrons tap a physical NFC table stand, our edge redirect router sets a transient, short-lived 24-hour cookie (growtap_visitor_id). This cookie is used strictly to prevent accidental duplicate scan counts while diners are seated at a table. It expires automatically after 24 hours and is never linked to personal identity or cross-site tracking profiles.
• Ephemeral Page Analytics:On our public website (growtap.net), anonymous visitor sessions are tracked strictly using non-invasive, tab-scoped session storage to monitor pageview performance. We do not deploy persistent canvas or audio device hardware fingerprinting without user authorization.

3. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can restrict or block cookies through your individual browser settings at any time. However, please note that blocking strictly essential authentication cookies will prevent you from accessing the GrowTap Admin Command Center.
