You do not need to accept optional cookies to browse this site because we do not currently set any. Essential storage is used only when needed for account sign-in, security, network delivery, or a feature you request.
What these technologies are
Cookies are small text files a website can ask your browser to store. Similar technologies include local storage, which lets a site keep limited data in your browser. They may be first-party, meaning they are associated with our domain, or provided by a service that helps us operate the site.
What we use
| Provider | Purpose | When used | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Keeps you signed in, refreshes an authenticated session, and completes account recovery. | When you create or use an account | Strictly necessary |
| Cloudflare | Delivers and protects the site and may preserve security or bot-verification state. | When required for delivery or security | Strictly necessary |
| Sim-Plates Studio | May remember a privacy or interface choice you explicitly make. | Only after you make that choice | Functional |
Exact storage names and durations can vary as our providers update their security and authentication systems. Authentication storage generally lasts for the session or until its expiry, refresh, or sign-out. Security storage is kept only as long as needed to provide the security function.
What we do not use
We do not currently use cookies or browser storage for behavioral advertising, cross-site tracking, personalization profiles, or audience analytics. Formspree receives information when you submit the beta form, but we do not use that form to place advertising or analytics cookies.
Why there is no consent banner
Our current storage is limited to technology necessary to provide a feature you request or to keep the service secure. We therefore provide notice rather than an “accept all” banner. If we add non-essential analytics, advertising, or personalization storage, we will ask for consent where required before activating it and will provide a way to change that choice.
Your controls
You can remove or block cookies and site data through your browser settings. Blocking essential storage can prevent account sign-in, password recovery, security checks, or other requested features from working. Signing out removes or invalidates the active account session as supported by the authentication provider.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when our use of storage changes. We will revise the effective date and provide any consent choices required for a new use. Questions may be sent to alex@sim-plates.com. For more about our handling of personal information, see our Privacy Policy.
