Learn about how we use cookies, local storage, and browser fingerprinting to improve your experience.
Introduction to Our Technologies
At Thank God For The Day, we use various technologies to provide our services, enhance your experience, and understand how our website is used. These include:
- Cookies: Small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
- Local Storage: A technology that allows websites to store data locally within your browser. Unlike cookies, data in local storage doesn't get sent with every HTTP request, making it suitable for larger, client-side data storage.
- Browser Fingerprinting: A method for identifying individual web browsers or devices based on their unique configuration and characteristics. We use this to create anonymous identifiers for specific functionalities like post ownership for non-logged-in users.
How We Use These Technologies
Site Functionality and Preferences
- Email newsletters related: Used to remember if you are already registered for newsletter services.
- Forms related: When you submit data through forms, these may set cookies to remember your details for future correspondence.
- Site preferences: To provide you with a great experience, we offer functionality to set your preferences (e.g., display settings).
Analytics and Performance
- Usage Statistics: We collect anonymous data about page views, user interactions, and site performance to understand how users engage with our site.
- Surveys related: For user surveys and questionnaires, technologies may remember who has already participated.
Anonymous Content Sharing (Local Fingerprint)
For users who share content without logging in, a local fingerprint is generated and stored in your device's local storage. This anonymous identifier is solely used to recognize posts coming from the same device, helping us track and manage content shared anonymously. This is not linked to any of your personally identifiable information. You cannot disable this local fingerprint without disabling the anonymous content sharing feature itself.
