1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Similar browser technologies, including local storage, can remember information between page visits. This policy uses “cookies” as a convenient term for both.
2. How AudSite uses storage
We use essential storage to keep accounts secure, remember sign-in state and operate features you request. With your permission, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use AudSite. Paddle may use its own cookies when it provides checkout, fraud-prevention and payment services.
| Provider | Cookie or storage | Purpose | When used |
|---|---|---|---|
| AudSite | Session cookie | Maintains secure sign-in and account access. | Essential; created when needed for account features. |
| AudSite | audsite-analytics-consent in local storage | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics. | Essential to honour your privacy choice. |
| Google Analytics | _ga and cookies beginning _ga_ | Distinguishes visits and measures aggregated website usage for property G-WWHFGT7K7C. | Only after you select “Accept analytics”. |

3. Google Analytics information
When you consent, Google Analytics may receive information about page visits, interactions, referral sources, approximate location, device and browser characteristics, and technical identifiers. We use this information to understand performance and improve AudSite. We do not use Google Analytics for personalised advertising.
Google may process information on servers outside the United Kingdom. See Google’s Privacy Policy for information about its processing and safeguards.
4. Your choices
Analytics is off by default. Declining analytics does not prevent you from using AudSite. You can reopen Cookie settings at any time to accept, decline or withdraw consent. Withdrawing consent prevents future Analytics collection and AudSite attempts to remove its Analytics cookies from this browser.
5. Browser controls and changes
You can also block or delete cookies using your browser settings, although blocking essential cookies may affect sign-in or checkout. We may update this policy when our services or providers change; the date above identifies the current version.
