What this policy covers

This Cookie Policy explains how Trinity Proximity, Inc., doing business as ActsSocial, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit actssocial.com or interact with our web-based Services.

If you use the ActsSocial mobile apps (iOS or Android), please see Section 10 below, which explains the equivalent device identifiers used on mobile.

This Cookie Policy is part of, and incorporated by reference into, the ActsSocial Privacy Policy at actssocial.com/privacy.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the operators of the site.

Cookies can be:

  • First-party (set by the website you are visiting, in this case ActsSocial).
  • Third-party (set by a service the website uses, such as an analytics provider).
  • Session (deleted when you close your browser).
  • Persistent (stored on your device for a set period).

We also use related technologies, including local storage, IndexedDB, and pixel tags. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as "cookies" throughout this Policy.

How you can control cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

  • Browser settings: most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies. Check the help section of your browser for instructions.
  • Cookie banner: when you first visit actssocial.com, we display a cookie banner that lets you accept, reject, or customize your cookie preferences. You can revisit the banner at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site.
  • Opt-out tools: Some third-party services we use offer their own opt-out mechanisms. These are listed in the tables below where applicable.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because the Services would not function without them.

Your express consent

By clicking "Accept" on our cookie banner, or by continuing to use the Services after seeing the banner notice, you provide your express consent under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (California Penal Code §§ 631, 632, 638.51), analogous laws of other jurisdictions, and applicable European data protection law (where Services are available), to ActsSocial's use of the cookies and similar technologies described in this Policy. You may withdraw this consent at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the banner, or by emailing [email protected].

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential to operate ActsSocial. Without them, you would not be able to sign in, navigate the platform, or complete basic actions.

These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience on ActsSocial.

  • notification_alert_shown — ActsSocial — tracks notification permission prompt state — session
  • plyr (local storage) — Plyr media player — remembers media playback preferences — persistent

Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how the platform is used. They are pseudonymous, meaning we cannot identify you individually from analytics data alone.

  • _ga, _ga_19MBRZK0VQ, _ga_K94SRYTP1G — Google Analytics 4 (Alphabet) — visitor analytics, session tracking, UTM attribution — 2 years
  • _clck — Microsoft Clarity — anonymous user ID for aggregate usage analytics — 1 year
  • _clsk — Microsoft Clarity — session identifier for aggregate usage analytics — 1 day

Microsoft Clarity sensitive field masking

Clarity records aggregate user behavior on actssocial.com. To protect prayer content, direct messages, and other sensitive inputs, we have configured Clarity to mask all sensitive text fields. Masked content does not appear in any session recording.

You can opt out of Microsoft Clarity at privacy.microsoft.com.

Google Analytics opt out

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Performance telemetry

These technologies help us measure how the website performs. They are beacons rather than persistent cookies.

  • beacon.min.js — Cloudflare Browser Insights — real user monitoring, page load timings, Web Vitals — session telemetry
  • /cdn-cgi/rum — Cloudflare — built-in performance telemetry — session telemetry

Marketing and attribution cookies

We use a minimal set of marketing attribution tools. We do not use behavioral retargeting pixels for public users of ActsSocial.

  • Metricool pixel (1x1 image) — Metricool S.L. (Spain) — Social media attribution and link analytics for our marketing campaigns — Session telemetry
  • Google Tag Manager — May load any third-party advertising including Meta Pixel

Cookies we have removed

The following cookies were previously set on actssocial.com but have been removed in connection with the ActsSocial 2.0 launch:

  • HubSpot cookies (hubspotutk, __hssrc, __hstc, __hssc) have been removed.

You will not see these cookies set in new sessions.

Admin-only cookies (not set for regular users)

The following cookies are set only when an ActsSocial administrator is using the admin interface. They are not set for ordinary users of the platform:

  • Meta Pixel cookies (set only on admin pages).
  • X (Twitter) widget cookies (set only on the admin blog editor).
  • Facebook SDK cookies (set only on the admin blog editor).

Third-party sign-in cookies

If you sign in using a third-party authentication provider, such as Apple or Google, that provider may set its own cookies. These cookies are governed by the provider's privacy policy, not by this Cookie Policy.

Mobile tracking (iOS and Android apps)

On our mobile apps, we use device identifiers instead of cookies:

  • Firebase Cloud Messaging token: a device identifier used to deliver push notifications. The token rotates periodically and can be regenerated by clearing app data or reinstalling the app.
  • Firebase install ID: an anonymous identifier used by Firebase for crash reporting and analytics.
  • iOS IDFA (Apple's advertising identifier): we do not collect IDFA. We do not show the App Tracking Transparency prompt, and we have configured our SDKs not to access IDFA.
  • Android Advertising ID: we do not collect this. The AD_ID permission is intentionally absent from our Android Manifest.

You can reset device identifiers through your device's privacy settings.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

ActsSocial does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals because the industry has not reached consensus on how to interpret them. We do, however, honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where technically feasible, treating them as a request to opt out of any third-party advertising "sale" or "share."

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and post the updated Policy at actssocial.com/cookies. Material changes will be communicated through an in-app or website notice.
