• Functionality Cookies: These remember the choices you make, such as your preferred language (Romanian/English) or visual theme (Dark/Light Mode).

3. Third-party Technologies

Since .urban uses advanced services, the following entities may place cookies:

• Google Firebase: For managing authentication and account security.

• Mapbox: For displaying interactive maps and processing location data necessary for the app's functionality.

4. How can you control cookies?
