Cookies Policy
Effective date: 29 April 2026
Last updated: 5 October 2026
Why we have a cookies policy
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies we use on monitoragent.app and in the Monitor Agent web app at my.monitoragent.app, why we use them, and how you can control them. We use as few of these as we can while still running a useful site. What the iOS and Android apps collect is described in our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. They let the site remember things between visits — like which language you chose or whether you have already agreed to analytics. Some cookies are set by us; others are set by third-party services we rely on.
On monitoragent.app: what we use, and what is optional
- Strictly necessary — These are required for the site to work. They store your language and theme choice, your cookie consent decision (so we don’t ask again), and basic security state. They are set automatically and do not need consent because the site cannot function without them.
- Analytics — cookieless by default, cookies only with your consent — Google Analytics 4 helps us understand which pages people read, which calls-to-action work, and where the site breaks. Before you make a choice it runs in a restricted, cookieless mode: it sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, reads nothing from it, and sends only aggregated measurements that carry no identifier for you. Click “Accept” and it switches to full analytics, setting the cookies described below. Click “Reject” and Google Analytics is not loaded at all — for you it stops entirely.
We do not currently set marketing or personalization cookies. If we ever add cookies of those types, we will ask for your consent separately and update this policy before loading them.
Google Analytics 4 details
When enabled, GA4 sets cookies (typically named _ga and _ga_<id>) and processes data through Google. Google discards raw IP addresses after use and never associates them with user identifiers; we do not link analytics data to your account, and we do not use it for advertising. You can read Google’s own description at policies.google.com/privacy.
Changing or withdrawing your choice
You can change your decision at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. Rejecting stops cookie-based analytics straight away and keeps Google Analytics from loading on future visits. Analytics cookies already stored in your browser are not deleted by that action — you can remove them yourself in your browser settings, which is also where you can block cookies outright; doing so may affect parts of the site that rely on strictly necessary cookies (for example, your language preference).
In the web app at my.monitoragent.app
The web app is a separate site with its own settings, and the cookie banner on monitoragent.app does not apply to it. It keeps what it needs to work in your browser’s storage — for example, to keep you signed in and to remember your settings. That storage is strictly necessary and does not need consent.
The web app also uses Firebase Analytics, Google’s analytics service for apps, to see which screens are opened and which features are used. On the web, Firebase Analytics runs on the Google Analytics tag and sets the Google Analytics cookies described above (typically named _ga and _ga_<id>). In the web app, analytics is on by default. You can switch it off at any time in Profile › More › Usage analytics; from then on the web app stops sending analytics data. Cookies already set stay in your browser until they expire or you delete them. The switch is remembered per browser, so set it in each browser you use. It is separate from your cookie choice on monitoragent.app: neither changes the other.
Changes to this policy
If we add, remove, or change any cookie categories, we will update this page and ask for your consent again where the law requires it.
