1. What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text records stored by a website in your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature that can retain preferences on your device. ShopPilot treats both transparently in this policy.
2. What ShopPilot currently uses
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
shopilot_session | Essential cookie | Keeps a signed-in account authenticated. It is HttpOnly, Secure in production, and SameSite=Lax. | Up to 7 days |
shopilot_cookie_consent | Essential cookie | Records your cookie choice so the consent banner does not repeatedly appear. | Up to 180 days |
shopilot-theme | Functional local storage | Remembers light or dark mode when functional preferences are allowed. | Until removed or consent is withdrawn |
shopilot-guest | Functional local storage | Maintains a guest conversation identifier between visits when functional preferences are allowed. | Until removed or consent is withdrawn |
3. Essential cookies
Essential cookies support a service you request, such as secure sign-in, and retain your privacy selection. They cannot be disabled through ShopPilot's controls. You can block them in your browser, but account and consent functions may stop working correctly.
4. Optional preferences
Theme and guest conversation storage are disabled unless you allow functional preferences. Rejecting optional storage or changing your selection removes these entries from the current browser. The theme then follows your device preference, and a guest conversation identifier lasts only for the current page session.
5. Analytics and advertising cookies
ShopPilot does not currently place analytics or advertising cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and request consent before enabling non-essential cookies where consent is required.
6. Merchant and affiliate cookies
When you choose a merchant link, you leave ShopPilot. The merchant or affiliate network may set its own cookies for checkout, fraud prevention, analytics, personalisation, or referral attribution. Those technologies are controlled by the third party and governed by its cookie and privacy notices.
7. Managing your choice
Use in the footer or on this page at any time. You can also delete cookies and site data using your browser settings. Withdrawing optional consent does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.
