Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Shedetics uses, and how you can control them. For more information about how we handle your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a set period or until deleted).
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, which functions in a comparable way. References to "cookies" in this policy include these technologies unless otherwise stated.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Storage Only
We use essential browser storage only. It is necessary for the website to function, is set in response to actions you take, and cannot be switched off. We do not use analytics, advertising, retargeting or profiling technologies of any kind, and we do not load third-party tracking scripts.
As of the date above, the complete list of what we store on your device is:
- Quiz progress, answers and the email address you enter — so refreshing or returning to the page does not lose your place in the quiz, and so we can confirm your details back to you at the end without asking twice.
- Cookie notice acknowledgement — so we do not show you the notice again on every visit.
Both are stored in your browser's local storage rather than as cookies, and neither is used to track you across other websites.
3. Third-Party Cookies
We do not permit third parties to set cookies or run tracking scripts on our site. If this changes — for example if we add an analytics provider — we will update this policy to name the provider before that technology goes live, and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Because we only use strictly necessary storage, there are no optional cookies for you to accept or reject, and no preferences to configure. The notice shown on your first visit is an acknowledgement rather than a consent request.
You can still clear or block this storage through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View the cookies stored on your device and delete them individually or all at once.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block cookies from specific websites.
- Block all cookies (note: this may break parts of the website).
For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help documentation. Note that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your experience.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our services. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
