Cookie policy
The short version
DepositSafe uses only what is strictly necessary to keep you signed in and to take card payments safely. We use no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, so there is nothing to accept or refuse, and you will not see a cookie banner. Our fonts and icons are served from depositsafe.ie, so visiting our pages does not send your IP address to Google.
If we ever add something that is not strictly necessary, it will not load until you have agreed to it, and refusing will be as easy as accepting.
What we use
| What | Set by | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sign-in tokens (browser local storage) | DepositSafe | Keep you signed in to the app | Until you sign out; the session token expires after 15 minutes and is renewed for up to 7 days |
| App cache (service worker) | DepositSafe | Load the app faster and show it when your connection drops. Contains the app's own files, not your data. | Until the next version of the app |
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid |
Stripe | Prevent fraud when you pay a deposit by card. Set only on the payment page. | 1 year and 30 minutes |
| Google sign-in | Sign you in with your Google account. Loaded only after you click the button. | Set by Google under its own policies |
The law that applies is the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011. Under regulation 5, consent is not needed for storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for.
Your choices
You can clear local storage and cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you do, you will be signed out, and card payments may need to be re-verified.
