3. Local storage data (not cookies)

In addition to cookies, we store some preferences in localStorage, which remain exclusively on your device:

  • umu_loved_links — links you've liked on public profiles.
  • umu_visitor_token — anonymous identifier for deduplicating likes.
  • umu_active_account — last selected view in the dashboard.

These items are never transmitted to our servers and are not cookies in the technical sense.

4. Third-party cookies

umu.ro does not place third-party cookies on its public pages. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party tracking tools.

If you have a Pro subscription, Stripe may place its own strictly necessary cookies during the payment flow, subject to Stripe's own privacy policy.

5. Consent and control

The essential cookies above are required for the platform to function and do not require consent under Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. These cookies cannot be disabled without disabling authentication functionality.

You can manage or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Deleting session cookies will sign you out.
