1. Strictly necessary
These are required for the app to work. They can't be turned off — without them you can't sign in.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |

| astrolysis_session | Keeps you signed in. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. | Session, plus 30 days if "remember me" is set | astrolysis.com (first party) |
2. Preference
These remember what you've chosen so we don't ask you again on every visit. Stored in your browser, not sent to any third party.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |

3. Analytics
None today. We don't run Google Analytics, Plausible, PostHog, Mixpanel, or anything similar. If that changes we'll update this page and ask for your consent before setting any analytics cookie, as required by EU ePrivacy / UK PECR.
4. Marketing
None. No Facebook pixel, no Google Ads remarketing tag, no LinkedIn Insight tag, no TikTok pixel. We don't sell your behaviour to advertisers and we don't intend to.
5. Consent banner
Because the only cookies we set today are "strictly necessary" and stored preferences you actively choose, explicit consent under EU GDPR / UK PECR isn't required and we don't show a banner. The moment we add analytics or any third-party cookie, this changes — and you'll see a consent prompt before anything is set.
6. Managing cookies
You can clear cookies and browser storage at any time from your browser settings. Doing so will sign you out and reset your preferences. We don't need cookies that survive a "Clear all" to function — your account data lives on the server, not in your browser.
