STATIX — Cookie Policy

DRAFT — NOT YET LEGALLY REVIEWED. Professional drafting to be reviewed by a qualified attorney / data-protection adviser before publication. Not legal advice. Confirm the actual cookies and local-storage keys set by the live website and app, and complete all [bracketed] items, before publishing.

Provider: the STATIX design team, trading as [legal entity], South Africa Contact: [privacy@statix.app] Version: Draft 0.1 · Effective date: [to be set]

This Cookie Policy explains how the STATIX website and any hosted application use cookies and similar technologies (local storage, session storage). It should be read with the Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. Local storage and session storage are similar browser mechanisms that store data on your device. We refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" below.

Cookies can be:

First-party (set by us) or third-party (set by a provider we use);
Session (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (kept until they expire or you delete them).

2. The offline edition stores data on your device — not on us

The offline single-file STATIX application uses your browser's local storage to make the tool work — for example to autosave your model, remember your settings, theme, chosen design code, and onboarding state. This data stays on your own device and is not sent to us. It is a technical necessity of an offline tool, not tracking. You can clear it via your browser settings (note: clearing it will remove your local autosave).

Examples of local-storage keys the application may use on your device include: autosave (your latest model), preference/theme settings, selected design code, and "tour seen" / "what's new" flags. These contain your data and never leave your machine through the offline app.

3. Cookies we use on the website / hosted app

Category	Purpose	Consent needed?	Examples
Strictly necessary	Security, load-balancing, sign-in/session, remembering your cookie choices, basic functionality	No (exempt)	Session/auth cookie, CSRF token, cookie-consent record, CDN/security cookies (e.g. from [Cloudflare])
Preferences / functional	Remember settings such as language, region or display preferences	Yes, where not strictly necessary	Preference cookie
Analytics	Understand aggregate, privacy-respecting usage to improve the Service	Yes	[Only if/when enabled — name the tool, e.g. a privacy-first analytics provider]
Payment / checkout	Operated by our payment provider / merchant of record during checkout	Necessary for the transaction you requested	[Lemon Squeezy / Paddle / Paystack] cookies on their checkout
Marketing	We currently do not use advertising/marketing cookies. If this changes, we will update this policy and obtain consent first.	Yes	— (none at present)

The exact cookie names, providers, durations and purposes must be confirmed against the live site before publication and listed in a cookie table here.

4. Your choices and consent

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent because the Service cannot function without them.

4.2 For non-essential cookies (preferences, analytics, any future marketing), we will ask for your consent through a cookie banner/preference centre before setting them, and you can change or withdraw your consent at any time via [the "Cookie settings" link in the website footer].

4.3 Browser controls. You can block or delete cookies and clear local storage through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the Service; clearing local storage in the offline app will delete your local autosave and settings.

4.4 Our approach is intended to meet both POPIA expectations and the consent requirements that apply to EU/UK visitors (ePrivacy/GDPR).

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by providers we rely on (for example hosting/CDN/security and, during checkout, our payment providers). Their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. We list our sub-processors in the Privacy Policy.

6. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy. The latest version, with its effective date, is always available from the website footer. Material changes will be notified as described in the Privacy Policy.
