A current inventory of PicchuSpot cookies, local and session storage, provider technology, activation conditions, and the controls available to you.

1. What this Policy covers

This Policy explains cookies and similar browser technologies used by PicchuSpot. A cookie is a small value stored by the browser and sent with relevant requests. Local storage and session storage are browser-held values that are not automatically sent like cookies but can serve similar preference or continuity purposes.

The current site uses necessary technology, user-requested functional preferences, on-demand support technology and optional analytics. This Policy should be read with the Privacy Policy.

2. Your analytics choice

The consent banner offers Reject and Accept analytics. Before a choice, Google Consent Mode defaults analytics and advertising-related consent to denied. PicchuSpot enables its Google Analytics page-view setup and analytics events only after acceptance. Advertising storage, advertising user data and advertising personalisation remain denied.

The Google tag can initialise in denied mode. Depending on Google's consent-mode behaviour, limited cookieless consent and technical signals may be transmitted even though PicchuSpot has not enabled its page-view and event measurement. Rejecting prevents PicchuSpot from granting analytics storage.

You can change the choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer. Withdrawing consent affects future use and does not undo processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

5. Necessary and functional technology

Authentication and security storage is necessary to sign in, protect forms and keep the requested service secure. Disabling it can prevent account, checkout or protected-form functions from working.

Language, region and currency values are set after a user makes the corresponding selection. They remember a requested preference rather than create an advertising profile. Session storage supports the action currently requested and normally ends with the browser session.

First-party property content counters do not use an application visitor cookie or local-storage identifier. Their database record contains a property/event reference and time, not a visitor ID.

6. How to manage storage

  1. Use Cookie settings in the footer to accept or reject future Google Analytics use by PicchuSpot.
  2. Use your browser's privacy controls to inspect or delete cookies, local storage and session storage for picchuspot.com.
  3. Sign out to end the active account session, then clear site data if you also want to remove remembered local preferences.

Blocking all cookies can stop authentication, security, payment or preference functions. Browser controls do not necessarily delete records that must be retained in provider or PicchuSpot systems for a contract, security or legal reason.

7. Changes and contact

This inventory reflects the current application. Providers may update their technology, and PicchuSpot may revise this Policy when features change. The effective date and version appear at the top.
