Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, and other display settings) over time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them.

"Similar technologies" includes local storage, session storage, and pixels — these work like cookies but use different storage mechanisms in your browser.

• Strictly necessary: Required to operate the site and product. They enable core features like authentication, session management, security, and load balancing. These cannot be turned off without breaking the service.
• Functional: Remember your preferences (such as selected language) so the experience feels consistent between visits.
• Analytics: Help us understand which pages are useful and which need work. We use aggregated data and do not attempt to identify you personally. We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool that does not set persistent identifiers on your device.
• Marketing: We do not use marketing or advertising cookies, and we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Below is an indicative list. Exact names and durations may change as we update the service. The list below is reviewed at least annually; for the most current inventory contactadmin@safepodbackup.com.

• session_id — Strictly necessary. Keeps you signed in. Session.
• csrf_token — Strictly necessary. Protects against cross-site request forgery. Session.
• lang — Functional. Stores your selected language. 12 months.
• plausible_ignore — Optional. Lets you opt out of analytics on your own device. Persistent until you clear your browser storage.

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you block, delete, or be notified about cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent core parts of the service from working.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies, and you can change your preferences at any time from our cookie banner or account settings.

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no agreed standard for how to interpret this signal, our website does not currently respond to it.

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use (for example, hosting, analytics, and payment processing). These providers have their own privacy and cookie practices. Current third-party providers and their policies:

• Amazon Web Services, Inc. — hosting (aws.amazon.com/privacy)
• Stripe, Inc. — payments (stripe.com/privacy)
• Plausible Insights OÜ — analytics (plausible.io/privacy)
• ActiveCampaign LLC (Postmark) — transactional email (postmarkapp.com/privacy-policy)

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices evolve. Material changes will be communicated through the site or by email.
