Cookies are small text files that your browser stores when you visit a website. We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform gets used. Nothing exotic — this policy explains exactly what we run and how you can control it.
These are required for the platform to function. Without them, you can't stay logged in, submit a review, or use the cart. You can't turn these off (if you did, the site would break), but they carry no marketing purpose and share no data outside our platform.
These remember choices you made — theme (light/dark, though we're always dark), country, language, saved filters on search. They don't identify you personally and carry no marketing data.
These help us understand which pages are being used, which searches are popular, and where the platform is slow. We use aggregate analytics only. We don't build individual user profiles for advertising, and we don't sell this data to third parties. You can opt out by clicking “Reject non-essential” in the cookie banner or by using your browser's Do Not Track signal, which we honor.
If you sign in with a social provider, that provider (e.g. Google) may set its own cookie. If you embed our reviews on your own site (a feature we're building), the embed may load a cookie for the widget to function. We minimize these, but they're outside our direct control.
You have three ways to control cookies on Tattoo Review:
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Preference and analytics cookies typically expire in 12 months, or sooner if you clear them. We periodically review our cookie set and remove anything we're not actively using.
If we materially change what cookies we run, we'll update this page and, if the change affects tracking, re-prompt you with the cookie banner.
