Cookie Policy
We keep our cookie use minimal. Here's a plain-English breakdown of what we use, why, and how you can control it.
This Cookie Policy explains how Pallyapp ("Pally", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (pallyapp.co.uk). Pally itself runs through WhatsApp and doesn't use cookies there — this policy covers our website only.
1 What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — like whether you've already seen a banner — and let us understand how people use the site so we can improve it.
2 What we use
We use a small number of cookies to keep the site working and to understand how visitors find us. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies to follow you around the web.
| Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keep the site functioning — e.g. remembering your cookie preference. | Session / 1 year |
| Analytics | Help us understand page visits and traffic sources so we can improve the site. Data is aggregated and anonymous. | Up to 2 years |
| Payment | Set by Stripe when you visit a checkout link, to keep your session secure. | Session |
We do not use cookies for targeted advertising or sell cookie data to third parties.
3 Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we rely on:
- Stripe — our payment processor may set session cookies when you interact with a checkout link, purely to secure the transaction.
- Analytics provider — we use an analytics tool to count page visits and understand traffic sources. No personally identifiable information is collected.
These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies. We choose providers with a minimal data footprint.
4 Your choices
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser's help section for instructions.
- Cookie banner — when you first visit the site, you can decline non-essential cookies via the banner.
- Opt-out tools — if our analytics provider offers an opt-out, we'll link to it from our cookie banner.
Blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of the site work, but won't affect your Pally check-ins, which run entirely through WhatsApp.
5 Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if we change the tools we use on our site. When we do, we'll post the revised policy on this page. Continuing to use the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
