Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 29, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Pikuco (the website pikuco.com, hereinafter “Pikuco”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It is part of our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website or a third-party service stores in your browser. They let a site recognize your browser on a later visit, remember your settings and measure how the site is used. Pikuco also uses similar technologies such as your browser’s local storage (localStorage, IndexedDB); everything in this policy about cookies applies to them as well.

2. Cookies we use

2.1. Strictly necessary (first-party) – keep your session and sign-in, protect forms from abuse, count test passes and votes fairly and remember that you have acknowledged the cookie notice. Pikuco cannot work without them.

2.2. Functional (first-party) – remember your settings (for example, list filters and sorting) and link actions you took before signing in to your account.

2.3. Analytics (third-party) – Google Analytics (Google LLC) cookies that measure visits, traffic sources and how pages are used, in aggregated form. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

2.4. Advertising. Pikuco.com does not currently show ads and does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Cookies are kept from the end of your browser session up to a few years, depending on their purpose. You can delete them at any time (see section 4).

2.5. Embedded content. Tests and posts may include videos and other content from third-party services (for example, YouTube). These services may set their own cookies under their own policies when you play such content.

3. Local storage and push notifications

Pikuco stores your settings, test progress and other technical data needed by the interface in your browser’s local storage. This data stays in your browser and is not sent to our servers. If you allow push notifications, your browser stores a device token issued by Google Firebase Cloud Messaging, used only to deliver notifications; you can turn them off in your browser or profile settings.

4. Your choices

  • Browser settings. You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, signing in and some features will stop working.
  • Google Analytics. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Global Privacy Control. Because we do not sell or share personal information (see section 5), there is nothing further to opt out of; we treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out request should this ever change.
  • Do Not Track. There is no common standard for browser “Do Not Track” signals, so we do not respond to them separately. We do not track you across third-party websites.

5. Notice for US residents

This section is provided under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) and other US state privacy laws (including those of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah and Texas).

5.1. Categories of personal information collected through cookies: identifiers (cookie IDs, IP address) and internet or other electronic network activity (pages visited, time of visit, referring page, browser and device type).

5.2. Purposes: operating and securing Pikuco, preventing fraud and abuse, remembering your settings and analyzing aggregated usage to improve the service.

5.3. Sources and recipients: collected directly from your browser; disclosed only to service providers that help us operate Pikuco (hosting, Google Analytics, Google Firebase Cloud Messaging) under contracts that limit their use of the data.

5.4. No sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We have not done so in the preceding 12 months. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16.

5.5. Retention: cookies are kept as described in section 2; server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting.

5.6. Your rights. Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to access, correct or delete it, to opt out of its sale or sharing and of targeted advertising, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To make a request, email admin@pikuco.com. We may need to verify your request, and you may use an authorized agent. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision.

6. Children

Pikuco is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them through cookies or otherwise. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The new version takes effect when it is published on this page; the date of the last update is shown at the top.
