Cookie Policy

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies Only

Homie uses only strictly necessary cookies:

• Session cookies
• Authentication cookies (family code session, admin Google login)
• CSRF protection cookies

These cookies do not track you across sites. Under the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (E-Com Act, Jan 2025 update) and Datatilsynet’s April 2025 guidance, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent.

2. Analytics (Plausible)

We use Plausible Analytics in cookieless mode. Plausible is EU-hosted, and it:

• Sets no cookies at all
• Stores no personal data
• Doesn’t track you across sites

Because Plausible never stores anything on your device, it needs no consent. That’s the line that matters, so it’s worth being plain about it. Anything that does store or read something on your device, beyond what’s strictly needed to run Homie, we ask you about first.

There are two such things, both below, and one choice covers them both: our marketing cookies. Tap “That’s fine” on the banner and we set them. Say no, or ignore the banner, and we don’t. Nothing here is set until you say yes.

3. How You Found Us (First-Party Attribution)

When you arrive at homiehub.co, we’d like to know how you found us. Which ad, which search, which link. It helps us spend a small marketing budget on the things that actually bring families to Homie, instead of guessing.

If you turn marketing cookies on, we store one small first-party cookie (homie_attribution) that records the referring source or campaign, the page you landed on, and the date. When you create an account, we join it to your account so we can see which campaign brought you.

This cookie:

• Is first-party. It stays on homiehub.co and is never shared with anyone else. We’re the only ones who ever read it.
• Doesn’t track you across other sites.
• Holds no name or contact details on its own, only the source or campaign, the landing page, and a timestamp.
• Expires on its own after 90 days.

It’s genuinely low-key, and it never leaves Homie. But it still stores something on your device that isn’t needed to run the app, so it only appears if you’ve said yes to marketing cookies. Say no, or ignore the banner, and it’s never set.

4. Advertising Cookies That Involve Meta

The same yes covers this one, and it goes a step further than attribution: it shares some data with Meta, a company outside Homie. So we’re extra clear about what that means.

If you’ve turned marketing cookies on, Meta’s pixel sets two cookies (_fbp and _fbc) that tell us things like “this signup came from that ad”.

In that case, Meta receives:

• Event names (like “visited the site” or “signed up”)
• A scrambled (hashed) version of your email that can’t be read back
• An anonymous browser ID and your IP address

Meta never receives:

• Your name, plain-text email, or anything about your family members
• Your calendars, tasks, routines, or anything you do inside Homie

If marketing cookies are off, none of this happens. Your consent lasts 12 months, then we ask again.

5. Managing Cookies

Changed your mind? Use the “Manage cookies” button at the top of this page, the Cookies link in the footer, or (in the app) Settings, then Cookies. There’s one marketing switch. It controls the attribution cookie and the Meta cookies together, and you can turn it on or off whenever you like. Turning it off clears them both.

The only cookies you can’t switch off are the strictly necessary ones in section 1, because Homie can’t run without them.

You can also clear cookies at the browser level if you want to, but you don’t need to. Your choice here is enough.
