How to disable Firebase cookies?


I'm currently running a project that uses Firebase Hosting and Firebase Functions. Both functions apparently use some cookies for their own reasons, but I can't seem to find a way to 'disable' them for my website visitors.

All around, I'm not very well informed on GDPR laws, but I'd like my webpage to comply with those, by giving users the chance to opt out of cookies.

Is there a way to disable those cookies? And if not, is it possible that they are already GDPR compliant?

Cheers.


Solution

  • The cookies used for Firebase are specifically for Authentication reasons only, Firebase doesn't track personal information or data but rather stores a randomized Javascript Web Token to re-authenticate a user when your app gets refreshed or reloaded.

    Additional client-side data is used for caching the database to increase read performance but doesn't expose or track a user by any means either.
