01The short version
Pawfile uses one cookie, and it is strictly necessary: it keeps you signed in. We don’t use analytics, advertising or social-media cookies, and we don’t load third-party trackers.
That’s why there’s no cookie banner on Pawfile: there is nothing to consent to.
04What we don't do
- No analytics cookies or analytics scripts that follow you across pages.
- No advertising, retargeting or social-media pixels.
- No third-party trackers or fingerprinting.
IP addresses, briefly
We use your IP address transiently for rate limiting, to protect sign-in and other sensitive actions. That isn’t a cookie: it is kept for windows of at most one hour and is never stored with your profile.
05Legal basis
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive, the UK PECR and similar laws, cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service you ask for don’t require consent. pawfile_session falls into that category. If we ever add a cookie that does need consent, we’ll ask you first and update this policy.
06Managing cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you block pawfile_session, you can still read our public pages and open sitter cards, but you won’t be able to sign in. Signing out removes the cookie and ends the session on our servers.
07More information
