Cookies Policy

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember preferences, maintain sessions, and track behavior.

2. Cookies Used by Free Party Lab

Short answer: Only 1 technical cookie required to function.

We do NOT use:

• ✗ Google Analytics or other trackers
• ✗ Advertising cookies (DoubleClick, Facebook Pixel, etc.)
• ✗ Session cookies for authentication (no login)
• ✗ Third-party cookies

3. Cookie Consent

Under the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC (implemented in Spain as LSSI-CE), we must inform you about cookies that collect personal data or enable tracking.

Our case: The language cookie is technical and does not collect identifying data or enable tracking. Therefore:

• ✓ We do not need an explicit consent banner
• ✓ Does not require prior consent ("cookie wall")
• ✓ You can use the tools immediately

4. localStorage vs. Traditional Cookies

Technically, we use browser localStorage, not traditional HTTP cookies. The effect is similar:

• localStorage: Data stored locally in your browser, synced across tabs of the same domain
• Never sent to server: Unlike HTTP cookies, localStorage is never transmitted in requests
• Domain-isolated: Only freepartylab.com can read its own localStorage

This is actually more private than traditional cookies.

5. Cookie Control

You can control local storage anytime:

• Clear: Browser DevTools → Application/Storage → Local Storage → Delete freepartylab-lang
• Disable: Browser Settings → Privacy → Block cookies/localStorage (note: may affect functionality)
• Private mode: Open Free Party Lab in private/incognito mode for session without persistent storage

6. Third Parties

We do not share cookie data with third parties. The site is hosted on Heroku, which may log standard HTTP access (not user tracking).

7. Future Changes

If we implement analytics (Plausible, GA4) or other services in the future, we will update this policy and communicate transparently. You will be notified before activating any tracking.
