Cookie Policy

Squad Tracker · last updated August 2026

This page lists exactly which cookies and browser local storage entries Squad Tracker uses. For the broader picture of what data we collect and why, see the Privacy Policy.

1. Strictly necessary (always on)

NameTypePurposeDuration

sq_cookie_consentLocal storageRemembers your choice on this banner so we don't ask again.Until cleared
sq_device_idLocal storageRandom ID so push notifications can be delivered to your device.Until cleared

These can't be turned off individually since the app can't function without them - but you're never required to log in or enable push notifications.

3. Analytics (only after you accept)

We use Google Tag Manager to (optionally, in the future) understand basic usage patterns and improve the app. The Tag Manager script and any tags configured through it are only loaded after you click "Accept" on the cookie banner - if you click "Reject" or ignore the banner, this script never loads and no analytics cookies are set. See Google's cookie policy for details on what Google-managed tags may set once loaded.

4. Managing your choice

You can change your mind at any time - clearing the button below resets your consent choice, and the banner will reappear next time you load the app.
