Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device (computer, mobile phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner.

In addition to cookies, websites can also use other browser storage mechanisms such as localStorage, which stores data directly in your browser without sending it to a server. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is never automatically transmitted with web requests.

2. Our Approach: Minimal Data Storage

We believe in being transparent and honest about data storage. CompareBabyPrices currently sets no cookies at all. We do not use:

• Analytics cookies
• Affiliate tracking cookies
• Third-party cookies
• Session cookies
• Advertising or marketing cookies

The only persistent data we store in your browser is a single localStorage item used to remember whether you have acknowledged our cookie consent banner. This data never leaves your browser and is not sent to our servers.

Our site is hosted on Vercel, which may set infrastructure-level headers for security and performance purposes, but no tracking cookies are placed by our hosting provider on your behalf.

3. What We Store in Your Browser

Below is a complete and accurate list of all data CompareBabyPrices stores in your browser:

Note: localStorage data persists until you manually clear your browser data or until the browser removes it. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to our servers with each page request. It stays entirely within your browser.

4. Future Changes

We plan to add analytics and affiliate cookies in future. This policy will be updated and your consent re-requested before any new cookies are set.

When we do introduce cookies, we will:

• Update this policy with full details of every cookie, its provider, duration, and purpose
• Reset your consent preference so you can make an informed choice about the new cookies
• Provide granular controls so you can accept or reject different categories of cookies
• Ensure any analytics tools we adopt are privacy-friendly and UK GDPR-compliant

5. How to Manage Cookies and Local Storage

Although CompareBabyPrices does not currently set cookies, you may wish to manage cookies and local storage from other websites. Most web browsers allow you to control these through their settings. You can:

• Accept all cookies
• Reject all cookies
• Delete cookies and site data stored on your device
• Clear localStorage for specific websites
• Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is about to be set
