Cookie notice

This Cookie Notice explains how dealw.me uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control non-essential choices.

Essential (strictly necessary) cookies keep the site working: for example session login (typically an HttpOnly cookie), and a region preference cookie for marketplace browsing. These do not require consent under EU/CH ePrivacy practice, but we list them for transparency.

Optional analytics: Google Analytics 4 loads only if the Operator sets NEXT_PUBLIC_GA_MEASUREMENT_ID and you accept “analytics” in our banner. Until then, Consent Mode keeps analytics storage denied.

Third parties: when you use Stripe Checkout or Connect flows, Stripe sets its own cookies under Stripe’s policies. We do not control those cookies.

To change or withdraw consent for optional analytics, use “Cookie settings” in the site footer (it clears your saved choice and reloads so the banner appears again). You can also delete cookies in your browser settings.

Cookie / storage name (examples on this deployment)

• dealw_session — HttpOnly session for signed-in users; duration: session / configured max-age; purpose: authentication.
• dealw_browse_cc — remembers marketplace region filter; duration: up to 1 year; purpose: UX (non-HttpOnly, first-party).
• dealw_consent — stores your analytics choice { "v":1, "analytics": true|false }; duration: about 180 days; purpose: consent proof for GA loading logic.
