7) Cookies, CookieYes, analytics, and local storage
7.1 CookieYes consent management
We use CookieYes to show a cookie banner and allow you to manage cookie preferences. CookieYes stores your consent choices (typically via a consent cookie).
7.2 Strictly necessary cookies
We use necessary cookies/technologies for authentication and security (e.g., to keep you logged in). These are required for the Service to function.
7.3 Analytics cookies (Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics)
We use GTM/GA to measure and improve the Service. Where required by law, we only place analytics cookies and run analytics tracking after you have given consent via CookieYes. You can change your consent at any time via the CookieYes preference settings.
7.4 Cookie list / cookie table
CookieYes typically provides a Cookie Declaration (a detailed list/table of cookies, purposes, providers, and expiry). You can rely on that for the detailed cookie list. We recommend linking to your CookieYes "Cookie Policy / Cookie Declaration" page from the Privacy Policy and site footer.
7.5 Local storage
We may store a local cache of favourites in browser local storage to improve UX. You can clear this in browser settings.
8) International transfers
Some providers (Google, Stripe, Resend, AWS, CookieYes) may process data outside the EEA depending on their infrastructure. Where required, we rely on safeguards such as SCCs and other measures.
9) Your GDPR rights
Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability (where applicable), objection (where applicable), and withdrawal of consent at any time.
