Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how EchoStream SRL (“Transferify”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website and services. It describes what these technologies are, the categories we use, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we handle personal data.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device to store information. Similar technologies include local storage (the browser’s localStorage), which lets a site keep small amounts of data in your browser between visits. Throughout this policy, references to “cookies” also cover these similar technologies unless we say otherwise.
We use both first-party technologies (set by Transferify) and third-partytechnologies (set by Google, our analytics provider). Third-party cookies are only used for analytics and only after you consent — see below.
Your choices: an opt-in consent model
We use an opt-in approach for non-essential cookies. On your first visit, a cookie banner appears. Analytics cookies are loaded only after you click “Accept”. If you decline, or if you simply ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are set — only the strictly necessary technologies described below remain active.
You can change your decision at any time by opening “Cookie Settings” from the “Resources” menu on our site, which re-opens the cookie preferences so you can grant or withdraw consent. Your choice is remembered in your browser’s local storage(under the key cookie-consent-v1), not in a cookie itself. Because the record lives in your browser, clearing your browser storage will reset your choice and the banner will appear again on your next visit.
Categories of cookies we use
1. Strictly necessary (essential)
These technologies are required for the service to function and are always on. They do not require your consent because Transferify cannot operate without them. They are used to keep you signed in via Firebase Authentication (managing your login session) and to remember your own cookie-consent choice and basic application state. If you block these technologies in your browser, sign-in and core features will not work.
2. Analytics
These cookies help us understand aggregate product usage so we can improve Transferify. We use Firebase Analytics (Google Analytics 4), provided by Google. They are off by default and are only set after you click “Accept” on the cookie banner. If you decline or ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are set. Typical cookies in this category are _ga and _ga_<container>, which store a randomly generated client identifier used to measure usage in aggregate.
Cookie inventory
| Name / technology | Provider | Category | Purpose | Rough duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firebase Authentication session (local storage) | Transferify (first-party) | Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in and manages your authenticated session. | Persistent until sign-out or browser storage is cleared |
cookie-consent-v1 (local storage) | Transferify (first-party) | Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie-consent choice and basic app state. | Persistent until you change your choice or clear browser storage |
_ga | Google (third-party) | Analytics | Stores a client identifier used to measure aggregate product usage. | ~2 years |
_ga_<container> | Google (third-party) | Analytics | Maintains analytics session state for Google Analytics 4. | ~2 years |
Exact cookie names, containers and durations set by Google may vary; the values above reflect the typical behaviour of Google Analytics 4.
How to manage or withdraw consent
You can manage analytics cookies in two ways:
- Cookie Settings on our site: open “Cookie Settings” under the “Resources” menu to re-open the preferences and grant or withdraw your consent to analytics at any time. Withdrawing consent stops further analytics cookies from being set.
- Your browser controls: most browsers let you block or delete cookies and clear local storage. Please note that blocking essential cookies and storage will break sign-in and other core Transferify features.
Relationship to our Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy is part of, and should be read alongside, our Privacy Policy, which explains what personal data we collect, the legal bases we rely on, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it. Where analytics data collected via cookies constitutes personal data, its processing is described in the Privacy Policy.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal, regulatory or operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, ask for your consent again through the cookie banner.
