This policy explains how TikSync Pro uses cookies and similar browser storage on tiksyncpro.com and within the TikSync Pro application. We keep our cookie usage minimal — we do not use advertising or behavioural tracking cookies.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as whether you're logged in — across page loads and browser sessions.
Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary. They exist only for the duration of your browser session and are deleted when you close your browser tab or window.
Persistent cookies have an expiry date set in the future. They remain on your device between sessions until they expire or you delete them manually.
First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by TikSync Pro (tiksyncpro.com) directly. These are the cookies described in Section 2 below.
Third-party cookies are set by external services (such as Google or TikTok) that are embedded or linked from our pages. We describe these in Section 2.4.
localStorage (Not a Cookie, but Similar)
localStorage is a browser storage mechanism that works similarly to cookies but lives entirely in your browser — it is never transmitted to our servers. We use localStorage for a small number of UI preference flags. These are listed in Section 2.2.
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the Service to function. Because they are strictly necessary, they cannot be opted out of through a cookie banner. If you disable them via browser settings, you will not be able to log in to TikSync Pro.
Cookie Name
Purpose

Duration
PHPSESSID
PHP session identifier. Maintains your logged-in state across page loads. Without this cookie, you'd need to log in on every page.
Essential
Session (deleted when browser closes)
tiksync_remember
"Remember me" token. If you tick "Remember me" at login, this persistent cookie stores a secure token to keep you logged in for 30 days without requiring you to re-enter your password.

2.2 Functional (localStorage)
The following items are stored in your browser's localStorage — not sent to our servers. They are used purely for UI preferences within the application.
Key
Purpose
Type
Duration
pwa_install_dismissed
Remembers that you have dismissed the "Install App" banner, so it does not appear again on subsequent visits.
Functional
Persistent (until browser storage is cleared)
cl_seen
Records the changelog version you have last acknowledged, so the "What's New" banner is not shown again for the same release.
Functional
Persistent (until browser storage is cleared)
2.3 Analytics Cookies
We do not currently use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Hotjar, or any other third-party analytics or tracking cookies. Any product usage data we collect is done server-side using your authenticated session and is described in our Privacy Policy. We will update this policy if we ever introduce analytics cookies.
2.4 Third-Party Cookies
Certain third-party services used by TikSync Pro may set their own cookies during your interaction with our Service. We do not control these cookies and they are governed by the respective providers' privacy and cookie policies.

Notes
Their Policy
Google
Loading Inter font from fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com
Third-party Google may set cookies or use browser caching for font delivery. Font requests are made from your browser directly to Google's servers.
Third-party Google sets its own session cookies during the OAuth authorisation flow. These are cleared after the flow completes and you return to TikSync Pro.
Clicking "Sign in with Facebook" on the login page
Third-party Facebook sets its own cookies during the OAuth flow. We only use the OAuth flow for authentication — we do not embed any Facebook tracking pixel.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in to TikSync Pro.
Here are direct links to cookie management guides for the most popular browsers:
To clear localStorage specifically, open your browser's DevTools (F12), go to Application > Local Storage > tiksyncpro.com, and delete the keys listed in Section 2.2.
4. Cookie Consent
Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (EU Cookie Law), cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of a service do not require prior consent. The two first-party cookies we use — PHPSESSID and tiksync_remember — fall into this category.
Because we do not use tracking, advertising, or behavioural analytics cookies, we do not display a cookie consent banner. If we introduce optional cookies in the future, we will update this policy and implement appropriate consent mechanisms before doing so.
5. Changes to This Policy
We will update this Cookie Policy whenever we add or remove cookies from the Service. If we introduce optional (non-essential) cookies that require your consent, we will update this policy and display a cookie consent mechanism before those cookies are set.
This policy was last updated on May 26, 2026. The current version is always available at tiksyncpro.com/legal/cookies.
