This Cookie Policy explains how David Alston, trading as 'Only One You' Pro Bio Pages, uses cookies and similar technologies on onlyone.you ("the Website").
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
We comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) as amended, the UK GDPR, and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use the following categories of cookies:

3.2. Functional Cookies: Platform Storage (Brizy Cloud — localStorage)
The Website is built using Brizy Cloud, which uses browser localStorage (not traditional cookies) to manage popup display logic. This data is stored entirely in your browser, is anonymous, and is never transmitted to any server.

Name: brz-pagesViewsInSessionTimeLine. Type: localStorage. Purpose: Tracks page-specific popup display within a session. Duration: Persistent. Provider: Brizy Cloud.
Name: brz-authorized. Type: localStorage. Purpose: Identifies logged-in users for conditional content display. Duration: End of session. Provider: Brizy Cloud.
Note: These localStorage entries do not collect personal data, are not shared with any third party, and are classified as anonymous statistical/functional storage. Under PECR, prior consent is not strictly required for storage that is necessary for the functioning of the service, though we list them here for full transparency.
3.3. Analytics / Performance Cookies
We do not currently use any analytics or performance cookies (e.g. Google Analytics). If this changes in future, this policy will be updated and consent will be obtained before any such cookies are set.
3.4. Marketing / Advertising Cookies
We do not currently use marketing cookies.
3.5. Payment Processing Cookies (Stripe — Coming Soon)
Once our Stripe payment integration is live, the following cookies may be set when you interact with the payment/checkout process:

Name: __stripe_sid. Type: Cookie. Purpose: Fraud prevention — identifies the user's session on Stripe-powered checkouts. Duration: 30 minutes. Provider: Stripe.
These cookies are classified as strictly necessary / functional as they are essential for secure payment processing and fraud prevention.
They are set by Stripe and are subject to Stripe's Cookie Policy and Stripe's Privacy Policy.
