Cookie Policy

What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit it, and which is then read when you later revisit the site. Cookies may contain identifiers, preference settings, or information about how you use the site. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and tags that store or read information on your device for comparable purposes.

Why and How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Enable core features such as signing in, keeping you logged in, and securing the service
• Remember preferences (for example, theme or display settings)
• Understand how visitors use our website and product so we can improve performance and experience (analytics)
• Measure reliability and diagnose technical issues where monitoring tools are enabled

We do not currently use cookies solely for third-party advertising or cross-site marketing tracking on DrawPaw. If that changes, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent.

Consent

Necessary cookies are required for the website and service to function and are typically set on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a secure, working product (or to perform our contract with you). They do not require consent in the same way as non-essential cookies.

Where we use non-essential cookies (for example, certain analytics cookies), we rely on your consent where the law requires it. By accepting non-essential cookies—apart from necessary cookies—you consent to our use of cookies as described under "Types of Cookies We Use" below.

You may change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time. See "How You Can Control Cookies" below. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Types of Cookies We Use

Session vs persistent cookies

• Session cookies: Expire when you close your browser. Used for temporary tasks such as maintaining a login session.
• Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Used for preferences and longer-term analytics identifiers where enabled.

First-party vs third-party cookies

• First-party cookies: Set by DrawPaw on our own domains.
• Third-party cookies: Set by other services we use (for example, analytics providers) when those tools are enabled.

Necessary / essential cookies

These cookies are required for the Site and Services to work. They enable authentication, security (including fraud prevention), load balancing, and remembering essential choices needed to deliver the page you requested. Without them, parts of DrawPaw may not function.

Functionality / preference cookies

These cookies remember choices you make (such as theme preference) so we can provide a more personalised experience. Disabling them may mean some preferences reset on each visit.

Analytical / performance cookies

When enabled, we use analytics tools such as PostHog and/or Google Analytics to understand traffic, feature usage, and performance. These tools may set first- or third-party cookies (or use local storage) to recognise returning visitors, measure page views, and help us improve the product. Analytical cookies are non-essential where consent is required.

Marketing / advertising cookies

We do not currently set marketing or advertising cookies for third-party ad targeting on DrawPaw. If we introduce them in the future, we will describe them here and obtain consent where required.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be placed by third-party providers that help us operate DrawPaw—most commonly analytics providers (for example, PostHog or Google Analytics) when those integrations are turned on.

We select providers that support our product and review their privacy and cookie documentation as part of our vendor setup. How those providers process data is also governed by their own policies. For a broader picture of how we share and process personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

How You Can Control Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Instructions are usually available in your browser's help or settings menu. Blocking all cookies—or necessary cookies—may prevent you from signing in or using key features of DrawPaw.
• Withdraw or change consent: Where we ask for consent for non-essential cookies, you can withdraw or change it by adjusting your browser settings and, where we provide in-product controls, through those settings. You may also contact us at support@drawpaw.io.
• Analytics opt-out: You can limit analytics tracking via browser controls, privacy extensions, or provider-specific opt-outs (for example, Google Analytics browser add-ons, where applicable). PostHog and similar tools may also respect browser Do Not Track or offer their own opt-out mechanisms depending on configuration.

Opting out of analytical cookies will not usually stop necessary cookies required for the service to work.

Who We Are, Contact, and Updates

This Cookie Policy is issued by DrawPaw and applies from the "Last updated" date above.

For questions about cookies or this policy, contact us at support@drawpaw.io.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the date on this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or in-product notice. Continued use of the Site or Services after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy, except where consent is required for new non-essential cookies.
