Cookies Policy

Cookies Policy Last updated: 21 May 2026 Governing law: United Kingdom (UK GDPR & PECR) This Cookies Policy explains how ink-map.io ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website or use our services. It should be read together with our [Privacy Policy](/page/privacy-policy) and [Terms of Service](/page/terms-of-service). 1. What are cookies? Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixels — references to "cookies" in this policy cover these technologies too. 2. Our approach We use only strictly necessary (essential) cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, behavioural profiling, or third-party analytics that identify you. Because these cookies are essential to deliver the service you have requested, we rely on the "strictly necessary" exemption under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and do not require your consent to set them. We still display a short notice on first visit so you are informed. 3. Cookies and storage we use - Authentication tokens (sb--auth-token) — keep you signed in to your account. First-party, refreshed up to 1 year. - Cookie notice flag (cookie-consent-accepted) — remembers that you have dismissed the cookie notice. First-party local storage, persistent until cleared. - UI preferences (theme, sidebar state, draft form data) — remember your display preferences and unsaved edits while you browse. First-party local/session storage, persistent until cleared. - Security tokens — protect against cross-site request forgery and session hijacking. First-party, session-only. 4. Third-party services Some features rely on trusted third-party providers who may set their own cookies only when you actively use that feature: - Stripe — used to process card payments and subscriptions. Stripe sets cookies for fraud prevention and to make checkout work. See the [Stripe Privacy Policy](https://stripe.com/privacy) and [Stripe Cookie Policy](https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal). - Google Maps — used to display studio locations on map views. Google may set cookies when a map is loaded. See [Google's cookie information](https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies). - Supabase / Lovable Cloud — our backend infrastructure provider, used to deliver core functionality (authentication, data storage, file storage). We do not control cookies set by these third parties. You should review their policies directly. 5. What we do not do - We do not use advertising or marketing cookies. - We do not sell or share your data with advertisers. - We do not run cross-site behavioural tracking. - We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or similar profiling tools. 6. Managing or disabling cookies You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers also let you block cookies from specific sites. Guides: - [Chrome](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647) - [Safari](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac) - [Firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox) - [Edge](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-63947406-40ac-c3b8-57b9-2a946a29ae09) Because the cookies we use are essential, disabling them is likely to prevent you from signing in or using core features of the site. 7. Children Our service is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. 8. Changes to this policy We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our service. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always show when it was last revised. Material changes will be highlighted on the site. 9. Your rights Under UK GDPR you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection in relation to your personal data. See our [Privacy Policy](/page/privacy-policy) for full details and how to exercise them. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at [ico.org.uk](https://ico.org.uk/). 10.
