🔒 Why We Use Cookies and Local Storage
We use cookies and local storage to support key features and ensure fairness across both Pseudonymous Voters and Authenticated Casters.
🥸 Anonymous Identity and Survey Integrity
- We issue an anonymous UUID-based identifier (
X-Anonymous-ID) wrapped in a JWT (HMAC-SHA512) and store it in local storage. This helps us recognize unauthenticated users (Netizens) while preserving privacy. - Each ID is rate-limited by IP and can only be generated once per week to prevent abuse and manipulation. If deleted, a new one cannot be created until the cooldown resets.
- This ID helps maintain survey fairness without linking to any personally identifiable information.
🔐 Private Surveys and Authenticated Sessions
- A short-lived JWT (1 hour) is issued to Netizens who enter a 6-digit password to access private surveys.
- Casters (survey creators) receive a separate JWT stored in cookies or local storage to maintain login state.
🧳 Session Support
- Session cookies keep your account authenticated while navigating Kuqus. These are only used for logged-in users or when accessing private surveys.
📈 Analytics and Insights
- We collect minimal analytics to improve service quality and ensure fair usage.
- Aggregated country-level data may be shown to survey creators — no personal tracking involved.
🗞 Advertising
- We use Google AdSense to show ads. Personalized ads require your explicit consent via our banner.
- If you decline, you’ll still see ads — just less relevant ones — and we earn less (but that’s your call).
We use these tools thoughtfully to deliver a smooth experience, protect against abuse, and keep Kuqus accessible for everyone.
