This Cookie Policy explains how CampusBook ("CampusBook", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at campusbook.app ("Website") and when you use the CampusBook mobile application ("App"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Contents
2. Scope of This Policy
This policy covers two distinct environments:
🌐 CampusBook Website
The marketing and informational website at campusbook.app, which is accessed via a standard web browser. Traditional browser cookies may be set here.
📱 CampusBook Mobile App
The iOS and Android application (built with React Native & Expo). Mobile apps operate differently from websites — browser cookies do not apply here. We use device-level tracking technologies instead (see Section 4).
4. Mobile App Tracking Technologies
The CampusBook mobile app does not use browser cookies. Instead, we use the following device-side technologies to operate the app and improve our services:
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) Token
Required for app functionA unique device token generated by Google Firebase, used exclusively to send push notifications to your device (e.g., message alerts, community updates). This token is not used for advertising or shared with third parties beyond Google's Firebase infrastructure.
Firebase Analytics SDK
Optional (opt-out available)Collects anonymised, aggregated usage events — such as screens visited and features used — to help us understand how students interact with the app and guide product improvements. No personally identifiable data is included in these analytics reports.
Firebase Crashlytics
Required for app functionAutomatically captures crash reports and device state at the time of a crash or error. This helps us identify and fix bugs. Reports include device model, OS version, and app version. They do not include the content of your messages or posts.
Local Device Storage
Required for app functionThe app stores user preferences and session data locally on your device (e.g., your login state and app settings) using standard mobile local storage APIs. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly sync it.
5. Third-Party Cookies & SDKs
Some of the cookies and tracking technologies on our website and app are set by third parties we work with. We do not control how these third parties collect or use your data.
| Third Party | Technology | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google LLC | Firebase Analytics (cookie + SDK) | Usage analytics on website and app | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google LLC | Firebase Crashlytics (SDK) | Crash reporting in the app | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google LLC | Firebase Cloud Messaging (SDK) | Push notifications | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google LLC | Maps JavaScript API (website) / Maps SDK (app) | Campus navigation | policies.google.com/privacy |
6. What We Don't Do
We believe in a clean, student-first experience. That means:
7. Your Cookie Choices

8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we introduce new features that use different technologies or if regulations change. We will notify you of significant changes via an in-app notification and by updating the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
