Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website or use an application. They are widely used to make websites and apps work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the owners of the site or app.

Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, and other settings. They can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services the website uses ("third-party cookies").

This Cookie Policy explains how Gridexlabs LLC ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the GridexLabs website (rushgo.app) and the GridexLabs mobile application (collectively, the "Service").

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies across both the GridexLabs website and the GridexLabs mobile application to provide, secure, and improve our Service. Specifically, cookies and related technologies help us to:

• Authenticate users and maintain secure sessions so you stay logged in while playing
• Remember your preferences, game settings, and language choices
• Understand how users interact with our website and app so we can improve performance and gameplay
• Deliver relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns
• Detect and prevent fraudulent activity, abuse, and security threats
• Ensure core functionality of the Service operates correctly

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of the Service. Without them, core features such as logging in, navigating between pages, and accessing secure areas would not function. They cannot be disabled.

• Authentication cookies that verify your identity and keep you securely logged in during your session
• Session management cookies that maintain your active session state across page loads and app interactions
• Security cookies that help detect and prevent unauthorized access, fraud, and other malicious activity
• Load-balancing cookies that distribute traffic across servers to ensure reliable performance
• CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) tokens that protect against certain types of web attacks

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use the Service, such as which pages or screens you visit most often, how long you spend on each section, and whether you encounter any errors. The data gathered is aggregated and anonymous, and is used solely to improve how the Service works.

• Usage analytics that track page views, screen navigation, session duration, and feature engagement
• Crash reporting and error tracking that help us identify and resolve technical issues quickly
• Performance monitoring that measures load times, response times, and overall app responsiveness
• A/B testing cookies that help us evaluate and improve new features before rolling them out broadly

3.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the Service to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. If you disable these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

• Language and locale preferences so the Service displays content in your chosen language
• Game settings such as audio volume, control configurations, and display preferences
• User interface customization including theme preferences and layout options
• Previously entered information so you do not need to re-enter it on subsequent visits

3.4 Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

• Ad personalization cookies set by advertising networks such as Google AdMob to serve targeted ads within the mobile app
• Ad measurement cookies that track impressions, clicks, and conversions to evaluate campaign performance
• Interest-based profiling that builds a profile of your interests based on your activity to show more relevant ads
• Frequency capping cookies that limit how often you see the same advertisement

4. Similar Technologies

In addition to traditional browser cookies, we use other technologies that serve similar purposes. These include:

Local Storage and Session Storage

The GridexLabs website uses browser local storage and session storage to store data on your device. Unlike cookies, this data is not sent to our servers with every request. We use local storage to save user preferences, cached game data, and interface states to improve load times and user experience.

Device Identifiers

On mobile devices, we may use device-specific identifiers (such as the Advertising ID on Android or the IDFA on iOS) for analytics and advertising purposes. These identifiers function similarly to cookies but are specific to your mobile device.

SDKs in the Mobile App

The GridexLabs mobile app integrates third-party software development kits (SDKs) that may collect data through their own tracking mechanisms. These SDKs include analytics services, crash reporting tools, and ad networks such as Google AdMob. Each SDK operates under its own privacy and cookie policies.

Redis Session Tokens

The GridexLabs mobile app uses Redis, a server-side data store, to manage session tokens and cached data. When you authenticate with the app, a session token is generated and stored server-side in Redis. A corresponding reference token is stored on your device to maintain your authenticated session. Redis-based sessions allow us to manage session expiration, improve performance through caching, and maintain security by keeping sensitive session data on our servers rather than on your device.

Authentication Tokens

We use token-based authentication (such as JSON Web Tokens) in the mobile app to verify your identity and maintain secure sessions. These tokens are stored on your device and sent with each request to our servers to confirm that you are authorized to access the Service.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Service are set by third parties. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies. The main categories of third-party cookies on our Service include:

Analytics Providers

We use third-party analytics services to help us understand how users interact with the GridexLabs website and mobile app. These providers may set their own cookies or use similar technologies to collect information about your usage patterns. The data collected is typically aggregated and used to generate reports on Service activity, performance, and user behavior.

Advertising Networks

We partner with third-party ad networks, including Google AdMob, to serve advertisements within the GridexLabs mobile app. These networks may use cookies, device identifiers, and other tracking technologies to collect information about your activity across different apps and websites in order to deliver personalized advertising. They may also use this data to measure ad performance and report on campaign effectiveness.

6. Cookie Duration

The cookies we use fall into two categories based on how long they remain on your device:

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser or exit the GridexLabs app. These cookies are primarily used for authentication, session management, and ensuring the Service functions correctly during your current visit. They do not persist between sessions.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them. These cookies are used to remember your preferences, login information, and settings across multiple visits. The duration of persistent cookies varies depending on their purpose:

• Preference and functionality cookies may persist for up to 1 year
• Analytics cookies typically persist for up to 2 years
• Advertising cookies may persist for up to 13 months, in accordance with applicable regulations
• Authentication tokens in the mobile app may persist until you log out or the token expires based on our security policies

Server-side Redis session data is retained only for the duration of your active session and is automatically purged after a period of inactivity, as defined by our session expiration policies.

7. Managing Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies and similar technologies used by the GridexLabs Service:

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

You are free to disable or restrict cookies at any time. However, please be aware that doing so may affect your experience with the GridexLabs Service. Depending on which cookies you disable, the following impacts may occur:

• If you disable strictly necessary cookies, you may be unable to log in, maintain a session, or access secure areas of the Service
• If you disable functionality cookies, the Service may not remember your language preferences, game settings, or other customization choices
• If you disable performance and analytics cookies, we will be unable to collect usage data to improve the Service, but your experience will not be directly affected
• If you disable advertising cookies or opt out of ad personalization, you will still see ads, but they may be less relevant to your interests
• Disabling local storage in your browser may cause the GridexLabs website to load more slowly and lose saved preferences between visits
• Revoking token-based authentication in the mobile app will require you to log in again
