Cookie and Local Storage Policy
Last updated: September 30, 2026
1. Scope
Cookies are browser files or values used to remember a session or device. Mobile applications more commonly use app-local or operating-system secure storage. This policy distinguishes storage controlled by Earnify from storage or identifiers used by a third-party publisher when you choose its content.
For the data connected with these technologies, also read our Privacy Policy.
2. Earnify Website Technologies
| Technology | Purpose | Category |
|---|---|---|
| sessionid | Maintains a signed-in website session. | Essential |
| csrftoken | Protects website forms from cross-site request forgery. | Essential |
| Server-side account preferences | Stores choices such as preferred language, data-saver mode, and recorded consent on your account. These are database values, not necessarily browser cookies. | Functional / record keeping |
| Security and rate-limit state | Helps prevent repeated abuse and protects forms and authentication. | Essential / security |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics (Google LLC) measures visits and how pages are used, so we can see which pages work and which do not. | Analytics |
Session and cookie lifetimes follow the service configuration and browser expiry. Logging out, deleting cookies, or expiry ends the relevant browser state, although server-side security, consent, transaction, or audit records may remain as described in the Privacy Policy.
Google Analytics runs on website pages. It receives the page address and referrer, browser and device information, your IP address and the analytics cookie identifier, and its cookies can last up to two years. It is not used in the Android app.
3. Website Offer and Advertising Content
A separately named offer wall, survey, or advertisement loaded on the website may set or read its own cookies, local storage, pixels, or internal identifiers to deliver content, remember a session, attribute a completion, measure advertising, limit repetition, analyse use, or prevent fraud. Offer walls currently live on the website: AyetStudios, CPX Research, TheoremReach, TimeWall, Klink. This list comes from our live configuration.
Website offer walls and ads are not included in Earnify’s current native Android app. A website provider is identified on the selected surface. Its own privacy/cookie notice controls its independent storage and should be reviewed before you continue.
Blocking publisher storage may prevent the provider from maintaining the offer session or proving completion, so a reward may not be available or attributable.
4. Android App Storage and ayeT Identifiers
The native Android app uses app-local or secure operating-system storage for authentication state and preferences rather than Earnify website session cookies. Clearing app data or uninstalling normally removes local app state but does not itself delete the server-side Earnify account; use Settings → Delete Account for that.
The current Android publisher, ayeT-Studios GmbH, may use SDK/web storage, cookies, or internal identifiers when its offer wall is opened, together with IP, device/app, network, offer-interaction, survey, measurement, and fraud signals. The current Earnify Android build does not request Android advertising-ID or device-location permissions. Review ayeT’s Privacy Policy for its technologies and choices.
ayeT is the current publisher, not the permanent exclusive publisher. Earnify will identify and explain another mobile publisher’s relevant storage/data practices before activation.
5. Your Choices
- Use browser controls to view, block, or delete website cookies and site data.
- Block Google Analytics cookies in your browser, or use Google's Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Blocking them does not affect sign-in, earning or withdrawals.
- Do not open an optional publisher surface if you do not want that publisher’s technologies to load.
- Use any consent or privacy controls displayed by Earnify or the selected publisher.
- Clear Android app storage through device settings to remove local state; this signs you out but does not delete the server account.
- Use Earnify’s deletion and privacy-request routes described in the Privacy Policy for server-side data.
Essential website cookies are used because the signed-in site and form security cannot function without them. Continuing to browse is not treated as consent to a new non-essential technology where applicable law requires a specific choice.
6. Effects of Blocking or Clearing Storage
- Blocking session storage may prevent website sign-in.
- Blocking CSRF/security storage may prevent website forms from submitting safely.
- Clearing app-local storage may sign you out and reset local preferences.
- Blocking publisher storage may make an offer unavailable or prevent reward attribution.
7. Updates and Contact
We update this policy when our material storage practices change. A future mobile publisher will be disclosed before activation. Questions or requests can be sent to info@earnify.co.za or submitted through our POPIA Request Form.
