This Cookie Policy explains how Cutie Nails ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (cutienails.app). Our iOS app does not use cookies — this policy applies to our website only.

You have several options for managing cookies:

5. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-standard interpretation. We will revisit this position as standards develop.
6. The iOS App
The Cutie Nails iOS app does not use cookies. Instead, it may use Apple's device identifiers for analytics purposes, subject to your App Tracking Transparency (ATT) preferences on iOS. You can manage these in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking on your iPhone.
