Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to website owners. We use cookies to ensure our website functions correctly and to understand how visitors interact with our service.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as user authentication, session management, and security. These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.

Under UK PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations), essential cookies do not require consent as they are strictly necessary for the service you have requested.

4. Analytics Cookies

We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve the user experience and identify technical issues.

• Data Collected: Page views, referrer URL, browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and approximate country. All data is anonymised and aggregated.
• Data Not Collected: IP addresses are not stored. No personal identifiers are collected. No cross-site tracking occurs. No data is shared with advertisers.
• Your Choice: You can reject analytics cookies via the cookie consent banner shown on your first visit. Rejecting analytics cookies will not affect website functionality.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We do not set any third-party cookies. Our payment processing is handled by Stripe, which operates on its own domain (stripe.com) during checkout. Stripe’s cookies are governed by their own privacy policy and are not set on getsam.app.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through several methods:

• Cookie Consent Banner: Use the Accept or Reject buttons on the cookie banner shown on your first visit. To reset your preference, clear your browser’s localStorage for getsam.app.
• Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions.
• Do Not Track: Vercel Analytics respects the Do Not Track browser setting. If enabled, analytics data will not be collected.

Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from signing in to your SAM account and using core features of the service.
