Last updated: 19/09/2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Methodia S.r.l.s. (“we”, “us”, “our”), as the owner of the Coqudo mobile application (“Coqudo” or “the App”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies within the mobile app environment.

1. Who We Are

VAT: IT17073671004
Email: support@coqudo.it

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Although the Coqudo mobile application does not use traditional web cookies, it may use technologies that perform similar functions, including:

• SDKs (Software Development Kits) for analytics, security, and app functionality;
• Device identifiers such as IDFA (iOS) or GAID (Android);
• Web beacons and pixel tags used for tracking app interactions;
• Geolocation services supported by Google Maps APIs;
• Technical data collection required by our payment processor (Stripe).

3. Technologies Used by Coqudo

3.1 Strictly Necessary Technologies

These are required for the App to function correctly:

• Authentication and session tokens;
• Security and fraud-prevention systems;
• Payment processing tools (Stripe);
• Basic app navigation and core functionality.

These cannot be disabled as they are essential to providing the service.

3.2 Analytics and Performance Technologies

Coqudo may use analytics tools to understand how users interact with the App and to improve stability and performance. These tools may include:

• Firebase Analytics;
• Crash reporting tools (e.g., Firebase Crashlytics);
• Application performance monitoring technologies.

Information collected may include:

• Device model and operating system;
• Interactions, screen views, and usage events;
• Technical performance data;
• Error logs and crash diagnostics.

3.3 Location Services

If the User grants permission, the App accesses the device's location to provide location-based features such as:

• Nearby item search;
• Pickup and return suggestions;
• Distance calculations.

Coqudo uses Google Maps APIs to support geolocation features. Location tracking occurs only with explicit consent.

3.4 Payment Processing Technologies

Coqudo integrates payment systems provided by:

• Stripe

These services may collect:

• Device identifiers for fraud prevention;
• Technical and transactional metadata.

Coqudo does not store or process full credit or debit card numbers.

4. Legal Basis for Data Processing (GDPR)

Depending on the category, data collected through tracking technologies is processed on the basis of:

• Legitimate interest – for strictly necessary and security-related technologies;
• User consent – for analytics, performance, and geolocation services.

Consent is requested directly through the device operating system (iOS/Android) where required.

5. How to Manage Tracking and Permissions

Since Coqudo does not include an internal settings panel for managing analytics preferences, Users can control certain permissions directly from their device settings, including:

• Location permissions;
• Ad-tracking preferences;
• Push notification permissions;
• General privacy and tracking controls provided by the device OS.

Disabling certain permissions may affect the availability or accuracy of specific features.

6. International Data Transfers

Some third-party providers used by Coqudo (Google, Stripe, Resend) may transfer data outside the EU/EEA. These transfers comply with GDPR and are based on:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs);
• Adequacy decisions;
• Appropriate technical and organizational safeguards.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page will be adjusted accordingly. Users are encouraged to periodically review this policy.
