1. Scope & Technology Overview
This Cookie, Analytics & Tracking Policy explains how Axxa Media, LLC uses cookies, software development kits (SDKs), mobile advertising identifiers, and related tracking technologies in connection with TasteScribe AI.
We distinguish between:
- Web Technologies: Traditional HTTP cookies, local storage, and session tokens utilized when you browse our website (axxa-media.llc).
- Mobile App SDKs: Mobile device identifiers and SDK libraries embedded within the TasteScribe AI native mobile application (iOS and Android).
2. Categories of Technologies Used
We deploy tracking and local storage technologies categorized under three operational headers:
A. Strictly Necessary & Essential:
- Authentication & Identity Technologies: Maintains secure user session tokens, cryptographic state verification, access controls, and fraud prevention. Without these authentication technologies, secure sign-in, account management, and cloud data synchronization are unavailable.
- Local Application Data Storage: Secure on-device local storage to allow offline recipe browsing and fast UI rendering.
B. Functional & Preferences:
- User Preferences: Caches chosen measurement standards (Metric vs. Imperial), active language selection, vault display layout, and theme preferences.
C. Advertising & Analytics (Free Tier Only):
- Third-Party Advertising Technologies (Free Tier Only): Deployed exclusively within the Free tier of TasteScribe AI to serve banner ads, interstitial ads, and rewarded ad recipe scans.
- Consent Management Platform (CMP): Certified consent management framework presenting European (GDPR) and US state privacy choices to users.
3. Mobile Device Identifiers (IDFA & GAID)
In mobile ecosystems, traditional browser cookies are replaced by platform-specific advertising identifiers:
- Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA): A unique identifier provided by iOS. Under Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework, TasteScribe AI requests explicit user permission before any tracking identifier is accessed.
- Google Advertising ID (GAID): An identifier on Android devices used for advertising personalization, subject to user opt-out controls in Google device settings.
4. How to Manage Consent & Opt Out
You possess multiple avenues to control tracking technologies:
- In-App Consent Management: Within the TasteScribe AI mobile app, navigate to Settings > Privacy Choices to re-open the privacy consent form and update your preferences for advertising partners.
- Upgrade to Premium: Subscribing to TasteScribe AI Premium completely removes all advertisements and disables third-party advertising technologies within the app.
- Device-Level Controls: - iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, and toggle off "Allow Apps to Request to Track." - Android: Go to Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Ads > Delete Advertising ID or Opt out of Ads Personalization.
- Browser Cookie Controls: When visiting our website, you can configure your browser to reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is placed.
5. Policy Updates & Privacy Contact
