Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and help us understand how the site is used. This policy explains the cookies Nearby Me uses and how you can control them.

2. Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Required for the site to function, for example keeping you signed in and remembering items in progress during a booking. These cannot be switched off, as the site would not work correctly without them.

Functional

Remember choices you make, such as a searched location, so we can provide a more personalised experience.

Analytics

Help us understand how visitors use Nearby Me, such as which pages are viewed and how search results are used, so we can improve the service. Where required, these are only set with your consent.

Payments

Our payment processor, Stripe, may set its own cookies when you make or receive a payment, to detect fraud and keep the payment flow secure. These are governed by Stripe's own cookie and privacy practices.

3. Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers let you block cookies from specific sites, block third-party cookies, or clear all cookies when you close the browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will affect core functionality, such as staying signed in or completing a booking.

4. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
