Cookie Notice
Last updated July 6, 2026
This Cookie Notice explains how Peelaway uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember things between requests, such as keeping you signed in, and can also be used for analytics or advertising. Cookies that are essential to a service you have asked for do not require consent; non-essential cookies (such as analytics and advertising) do.
2. Cookies we use
Peelaway sets only a small number of first-party, strictly necessary cookies. We do not use them to track you across sites or to build advertising profiles.
- Session / authentication cookie: set when you sign in, to keep you securely logged in and to protect your requests. Without it, you cannot use your account.
- Theme preference: remembers your light or dark display choice so the interface looks the way you left it.
Both are essential to features you have asked for, so they are exempt from consent requirements.
3. Cookies we do not use
Peelaway does not currently set analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies, and we do not sell or share information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
4. Consent and when a banner would apply
Because we set only strictly necessary cookies, no cookie-consent banner is required under the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR at this time. If we later introduce analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies, we will update this notice and present a consent prompt that lets you accept or reject those cookies before they are set, wherever the law requires it.
5. Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking our essential cookies will prevent you from signing in and using your account, since they are required for the Service to function.
6. Third-party flows
Signing in with GitHub or paying through our provider, Polar, happens on those companies' own pages, where they may set their own cookies under their policies. Those cookies are outside our control.
7. Changes and contact
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time; when we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Questions about our use of cookies can be sent to hello@peelaway.io.
