1. What cookies are
Cookies and similar technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage) are small files or data stored on your device when you visit a website, and they allow information about your visit to be remembered.
2. Cookies and storage used by Paidio
Paidio mainly uses strictly necessary storage to function (exempt from consent) and one preference that is only saved when you choose it:
| Name | Type | Ownership | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session token (JWT) | Necessary | First-party | Keep your session authenticated | Duration of the session |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Necessary | Third-party (Cloudflare) | Bot/fraud prevention at registration | Session |
paidio_lang | Preference | First-party | Remember the interface language when you select it | Persistent until you delete it |
paidio_lang is only persisted when you explicitly choose the language; the initial browser autodetection does not create a persistent preference until that action.
3. Third parties
Payment takes place on pages hosted by Stripe (redirection to Stripe Checkout), which may set its own cookies necessary to prevent fraud during payment, on its own domain. See Stripe's policy for more detail.
4. Consent banner
As we do not use non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing or third-party tracking), we do not show a consent banner. If this were to change, we would request it beforehand via a banner and would detail those cookies here.
5. Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies from your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the service from working correctly (e.g. logging in).
6. Changes and contact
We will update this policy when the technologies used change. Contact: tiho@theorangecat.dev.
