Cookie Policy
We want to be clear about what data we collect and why. The short version: we keep it minimal and we respect your privacy.
Last updated: April 2026🌐 What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit. Some services use alternative tracking methods (like browser fingerprinting or local storage) that achieve similar results without traditional cookies.
✦ What we use and why
| Service | Purpose | Type | Cookie-free? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cosmic Pets Local storage |
Remembers how many free portrait attempts you've used, so we don't reset your count between visits. | Necessary | Yes — stored locally in your browser, never sent to us. |
| Umami Analytics cloud.umami.is |
Tells us how many people visit the site and which pages they view, so we can improve the experience. | Analytics | Yes — Umami is cookieless and privacy-friendly. No personal data or IP addresses are stored. |
| Stripe stripe.com |
Processes payments securely. Stripe uses cookies and browser data to detect fraud and verify your identity during checkout. | Necessary | No — Stripe sets cookies during the checkout process for security purposes. |
🔒 What we don't do
- We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
- We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing.
- We do not build profiles of individual users.
- We do not use Google Analytics or any other invasive analytics platform.
⚙️ Your choices
Because we only use strictly necessary cookies and a cookieless analytics tool, there is no consent banner on this site — we don't need one. However, you can always:
- Clear your browser's local storage to reset your free portrait count.
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies from Stripe (note: this may prevent checkout from working).
- Use a browser extension like uBlock Origin to block third-party scripts.
📋 Your rights (UK & EU)
Under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold. Since we collect very little identifying information, there is likely little to nothing to request — but you're welcome to get in touch:
