Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to persist user sessions, and to provide information to site operators.

Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

In addition to cookies, we also use local storage, a similar browser technology that allows us to store small amounts of data on your device. Local storage data does not expire automatically and persists until cleared by you or by the application.

We use cookies and local storage exclusively for:

• Authentication: Keeping you securely logged in to your account across page navigations and browser sessions.
• Security: Protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other common web attacks.
• Preferences: Remembering your chosen theme (light/dark mode) so it persists between visits.
• Performance: Temporarily caching editor state so that unexpected page reloads don't cause data loss.

We do not use cookies for advertising, user profiling, cross-site tracking, or behavioral analytics.

Below is a complete list of cookies that PicaDeck and its infrastructure may place on your device:

All cookies listed above are first-party cookies set by PicaDeck or its hosting infrastructure. No third-party advertising or analytics cookies are used.

In addition to cookies, we use your browser's local storage for the following purposes:

Local storage data does not leave your device and is never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties.

In some cases, third-party services integrated into PicaDeck may set their own cookies:

• Paddle (Payment Processor): When you interact with the payment checkout or manage your subscription, Paddle may set cookies to process your transaction securely, prevent fraud, and remember your payment session. These cookies are governed by Paddle's Privacy Policy.
• Vercel (Hosting): Vercel may set infrastructure-level cookies for load balancing and deployment previews. These cookies are governed by Vercel's Privacy Policy.

We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the respective privacy policies linked above.

PicaDeck does not:

• Use advertising cookies or serve any form of advertisements
• Track your browsing activity across other websites (no cross-site tracking)
• Use cookies to build user profiles for marketing purposes
• Sell, rent, or share cookie data with third parties for their own purposes
• Use browser fingerprinting techniques
• Embed social media tracking pixels (Facebook Pixel, Twitter Pixel, etc.)

7.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in your browser's "Settings," "Preferences," or "Privacy" menu. Common options include:

• Viewing and deleting individual cookies
• Blocking all cookies or only third-party cookies
• Setting your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set
• Clearing all cookies when you close the browser

7.2 Clearing Local Storage

You can clear local storage data through your browser's developer tools (usually accessible via F12 > Application > Local Storage) or by clearing your browser's site data in settings.

7.3 Impact of Disabling Cookies

Because PicaDeck only uses essential and functional cookies, disabling them will affect your ability to use the Service:

• Disabling session cookies: You will be unable to log in or stay authenticated. The Service requires session cookies to function.
• Clearing local storage: Your theme preference will reset to the system default, and any cached editor state will be lost.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

If we introduce any new categories of cookies beyond what is described here (such as analytics or marketing cookies), we will notify you in advance and, where required by law, obtain your consent before setting them.
