Cookie Policy

Last updated: 20 June 2026

This policy explains how PebbleYard uses cookies and similar technologies, what each one does, and the choices you have. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a site stores in your browser. We use them to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and - only with your permission - to measure how the product is used. We group every cookie into the categories below.

Your choices

When you first visit, a banner lets you accept or reject the optional categories. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time, or opt out of analytics and marketing in one click, using the controls below. We also honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal: when present, the optional categories default to off. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off because the app cannot run without them.

Strictly necessaryAlways active

Always on. These keep you signed in, secure the session, and remember your consent choice. The app cannot function without them, so they are not subject to consent.
