This Cookie Policy explains how Tracost Technologies Ltd. ("Tracost", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit our website, mobile interfaces, or use our cloud application.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you access a website. Local storage is an industry-standard browser storage mechanism that allows web applications to store data securely on your device with greater capacity and without transmitting data in HTTP request headers.
In this policy, when we refer to "cookies," we include browser cookies, local storage (HTML5 Web Storage), and session storage used to maintain your session and app preferences.
2. Our Approach: Data Minimization and Zero Ad Tracking
No Cross-Site Behavioral Ad Tracking: Tracost does NOT use third-party advertising cookies, behavioral profiling trackers, marketing pixels (such as Facebook Pixel or Google Ads tracking), or data broker scripts. We operate on strict data minimization principles under the Ghana Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) and international privacy regulations.
