This Cookie Policy explains how GPLMate.com ("GPLMate", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, create an account or buy from us. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which keep small pieces of information on your device. We use the word "cookies" for all of them in this policy.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser ("session cookies"); others remain until they expire or you delete them ("persistent cookies").
2. The cookies we use
GPLMate uses only the cookies needed to run the website securely and to remember your choices. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not sell information collected through cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These keep you signed in, protect forms and the checkout against misuse, and make the website work. They cannot be switched off, because the website would not work without them.
- Sign-in session (authjs.session-token): keeps you logged in to your account. Expires when you sign out or after a period of inactivity.
- Security token (authjs.csrf-token): protects sign-in and account forms against cross-site attacks. Session cookie.
- Sign-in redirect (authjs.callback-url): returns you to the page you were on after signing in. Session cookie.
Security and fraud prevention
- Bot protection: our login and registration pages use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a real person is signing in. Cloudflare may set short-lived cookies for this check. See the Cloudflare privacy policy.
Payments
- PayPal: when you pay by PayPal or card, the payment form is provided by PayPal, which sets its own cookies to process the payment securely and prevent fraud. Your card details are entered with PayPal and are never stored on GPLMate. See the PayPal privacy statement.
Preference storage (on your device)
- Shopping cart: remembers the products in your cart between visits.
- Display preferences: language, currency and similar choices you make on the site.
- App install message: remembers that you closed the "Install GPLMate App" message, so it is not shown again for 7 days.
- Cookie notice: remembers that you have seen our cookie notice.
3. Analytics and advertising
We currently do not use analytics, advertising or social-media tracking cookies. If we decide to use them in the future, we will update this policy first and, where required by law, ask for your consent before they are set.
4. Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. Helpful guides:
Please note: if you block strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in, buy products or download your purchases.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website or the services we use change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Significant changes will be highlighted on our website.
