Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Stockily ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://www.stockily.io or use Stockily, our subscription software-as-a-service platform (an ERP for cash-on-delivery e-commerce). It describes what these technologies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and the choices you have.

This document is provided to help you understand our practices and is intended as a draft for review with qualified legal counsel. It is not legal advice. Please read it alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more generally.

By continuing to use Stockily after setting your preferences in our consent banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described here. You can change your choices at any time using the methods set out in Section 6.

Cookies are small text files that a website or application stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make services work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the operators of the service.

We also use "similar technologies" such as local storage and session storage. Where this policy refers to "cookies", it includes these similar technologies unless we say otherwise.

Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by another organization, such as our payment processor). They can also be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain for a set period or until you delete them.

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for Stockily to function and to deliver the service you have asked for. They cannot be switched off through our consent banner because the service would not work properly without them. They do not require your consent under most privacy laws.

We use essential cookies for the following purposes: to remember your language and locale preference (the NEXT_LOCALE cookie); to authenticate you and keep you securely signed in to your account (authentication and session cookies); and to record the cookie preferences you have chosen, so we can respect them on future visits (the cookie-consent record itself).

Because these cookies are required to provide the service, they are set whenever you use Stockily. If you block them through your browser, parts of the platform may not work as intended.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors and users interact with Stockily so that we can measure usage, diagnose problems, and improve the product. For example, they help us understand which features are used and where users encounter difficulty.

These analytics cookies are strictly optional. They load only after you actively opt in through our consent banner. If you do not opt in, no analytics cookies are set, and the platform continues to work normally using only the essential cookies described above.

You can withdraw your consent at any time, after which we stop loading analytics cookies. See Section 6 for how to change your choice.

We do not use advertising or marketing cookies. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, to track you across other websites for advertising purposes, or to sell your information to advertisers.

The only optional cookies we use are the analytics cookies described in Section 4, and they are used solely to help us understand and improve the service.

You can change your cookie choices at any time. To update your preferences for optional cookies, re-open the consent banner from within Stockily and select or deselect analytics cookies. Your updated choice is recorded and applied going forward.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view, manage, block, and delete cookies. The exact steps vary by browser, so please refer to your browser's help pages. Please note that if you block essential cookies through your browser, parts of Stockily may not function correctly.

Withdrawing consent or deleting cookies does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you did so.

We use Stripe to process payments through Stripe's hosted Checkout. Card details are entered on Stripe's hosted pages and never touch Stockily's servers.

During checkout, Stripe may set its own cookies on your device to enable the payment to function and to help detect and prevent fraud. These cookies are controlled by Stripe, not by us, and are governed by Stripe's own privacy and cookie practices.

For more information about how Stripe uses cookies and processes data, please see Stripe's privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.

The table below summarizes the cookies we use, grouped by category.

ESSENTIAL (always on, no consent required) — NEXT_LOCALE: stores your language and locale preference. Authentication / session: keeps you securely signed in to your account. Cookie-consent record: stores the cookie preferences you have chosen.

ANALYTICS (optional, set only after you opt in via the consent banner) — Usage analytics: helps us understand how Stockily is used so we can measure and improve the service. No analytics cookies are set unless you opt in.

ADVERTISING / MARKETING — None. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies.

THIRD-PARTY (Stripe) — Set by Stripe during hosted checkout for payment functionality and fraud prevention; governed by Stripe's privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will take appropriate steps to inform you, such as updating the date below or notifying you through the service.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
