Draft — final copy pending legal review. This page is structurally complete with placeholder prose. Itta and counsel finalize the wording before public launch. Do not ship to production with this banner removed until copy is signed off.

Cookie Policy

What cookies and similar technologies My Easy Party uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

Last updated:

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember things about you (like that you're signed in) and help us understand how the platform is used. We also use similar technologies — local storage, session storage, and pixels — which this policy covers together as “cookies”.

TODO (Itta + counsel):Counsel: confirm definition aligns with PIPEDA's “personal information” treatment of identifiers and any provincial consumer-protection requirements around tracking technologies.

Cookies We Use

The table below lists the cookies the platform currently sets. Names, durations, and purposes will be confirmed during launch prep.

NamePurposeDurationType
mep_sessionKeeps you signed in across page loads30 daysEssential
mep_csrfCross-site request forgery protection on formsSessionEssential
mep_prefRemembers UI preferences (locale, currency)1 yearFunctional
_ga / _ga_*Anonymized usage analytics (placeholder — analytics vendor TBD)2 yearsAnalytics
__stripe_mid / __stripe_sidSet by Stripe for payment processing and fraud prevention1 year / 30 minutesThird-party
TODO (Itta + counsel):Run a full cookie audit before launch (manual + automated scan) and update this table. Confirm every cookie has a documented purpose; remove anything unnecessary.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, like Stripe (for payments) and our analytics provider (for usage measurement). These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern their use of your data.

TODO (Itta + counsel):Finalize analytics vendor (Plausible vs. self-hosted vs. GA4) and link to their privacy policies once chosen. List every third-party domain that drops cookies on our pages.

Your Choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies on a per-site basis. Blocking essential cookies will prevent core features (sign-in, payments) from working.

TODO (Itta + counsel):Build and link a cookie-preferences UI. Confirm legal requirement for consent banner in launch jurisdiction (Canada: best practice; EU: required under ePrivacy).

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when our cookies change. Material updates are announced on this page with a new “Last updated” date.

TODO (Itta + counsel):Coordinate cookie-policy update cadence with the launch of any new tracking integration (marketing, support chat, etc.).
