Cookie Policy
This public website sets no cookies. The cookies and storage below are set by the Palabasa app once a parent signs in.
What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Browsers also offer similar "local storage". Palabasa uses both, only to make the app work.
What Palabasa uses
We use only first-party, essential cookies and storage, set by palabasa.com itself. We use no analytics, advertising, social media or tracking cookies, and no third party sets cookies through our app. That is why we do not show a cookie consent banner: there is nothing to switch off without breaking the app.

Storage on your device
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|

| Bugtong "new" dot | Remembers, per child, that the Bugtong (riddles) tab was already seen, so its "new" dot stops showing | Until you clear your browser's data |
| Lesson, gift and message reminders | Remember where a child was in a lesson, whether a gift was already shown, and a one-time message for the next page (for example "Saved") | Until the tab or app is closed |
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block Palabasa's cookies you will not be able to sign in, and the app will not remember the active child or settings. Deleting them signs you out on that browser.
Changes
If we ever add a cookie that is not essential, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.
