Cookies are small bits of data we store on devices (e.g. computer, smartphone or other electronic device) when you use the EthOS website or app. Cookies allow a website or app to recognize a particular device.
We use cookies to help recognize your user preferences, prior activity and your device.
We may track things like which pages you go to, location data and the originating domain name of your internet service provider. Some of this data will be aggregated for statistical purposes, which means we will not be able to identify you individually.
You can set your browser not to accept cookies and websites like aboutcookies.org tell you how to remove cookies from your browser. If you opt not to accept cookies some website/app functionality may be limited.

The cookies we place on your device fall into the following categories:
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Google Analytics | This is an analytics service provided by Google Inc which uses cookies to show us how visitors found and explored our site. |
| Google Analytics for Firebase | Google Analytics for Firebase uses device identifiers to collect and store information. |
| Firebase Cloud Messaging | EthOS uses Firebase Cloud Messaging to send messages to its users. To do so, it sends a previously generated anonymous device ID (token) to Google so that we can identify app users and send messages to them. Information on the functionality of Cloud Messaging is available under https://firebase.google.com/products/cloud-messaging/ |
| Firebase Authentication | Firebase Authentication allows EthOS to authenticate users. Every time a user signs in, the user info is sent to the Firebase Authentication backend and exchanged for a Firebase ID token (a JWT) and refresh token. Firebase ID tokens are short lived and last for an hour; the refresh token can be used to retrieve new ID tokens. |
| Firebase Crash Reporting | This generates detailed reports of the errors that occur in the EthOS app. We use the platform to track app crashes as they occur and prevent future crashes. |
