Cookies & storage
Last updated: [DATE]
- We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.
- Your saved designs are stored in your own browser so you can come back to them. They are not sent to us until you order.
- Because we only store what the site needs to work, we don't show a cookie banner. [CONFIRM once analytics decision is final]
What we store on your device
Under UK and EU rules (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and the ePrivacy Directive), websites need your consent to store information on your device, unless it is strictly necessary to provide something you have asked for. Everything below falls in that category.
| Name | Type | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
place-form | Browser database (IndexedDB) | Keeps the designs you save, so you can reopen, edit or order them later. | Until you delete the design or clear your browser storage |
place-form-designs | Local storage | Older versions of the site saved designs here. If found, they are moved into the browser database above and this entry is removed. | Removed on your next visit |
| [Any other local storage, e.g. basket or interface preferences] | Local storage | [Purpose] | [Duration] |
We do not set any cookies ourselves. [CONFIRM before launch, including any cookie set by the hosting provider.]
Checkout
When you pay, you are taken to Stripe's secure checkout page. Stripe sets its own strictly necessary cookies there, including for fraud prevention. See Stripe's cookie policy.
Usage statistics
[CONFIRM: describe the analytics tool chosen, or delete this section.] We may measure how the site is used, such as page views and which features are popular, using a privacy-friendly analytics service that does not use cookies or store identifiers on your device and does not track you across other websites. The results are aggregated and do not identify you.
Services your browser connects to
To build and display your map, your browser loads content directly from these services. They do not set cookies through our site [CONFIRM], but they do receive your IP address, browser details and the map area or search you request, as with any web request.
| Service | What it provides |
|---|---|
| Tracestrack | Map tiles (building data is fetched by our server, not your browser) |
| Geoapify | Place and address search |
| OpenFreeMap | Water and coastline data |
| AWS Open Data | Terrain elevation tiles |
| Waymarked Trails | Trail search |

Your browser may also keep ordinary cached copies of map tiles and fonts to speed up later visits.

Managing storage
You can delete saved designs within the studio, or clear this site's data in your browser settings. Doing so permanently removes designs you have not ordered, so download a project file first if you want to keep one. Blocking site storage will stop designs from being saved.
