Cookie Preferences

AHNOU uses as few cookies as the product allows - here is the complete list and what each one does

Last updated 13 August 2026

The short version

We set one cookie, and it is the one that keeps you signed in. There is no consent banner on AHNOU because there is nothing here to consent to - no advertising, no tracking, no profiling. If that ever changes, we will ask you first

The cookie we use

Cookie	What it does	How long
Session	Keeps you signed in after you click your email link	Until it expires or you sign out

That is the whole list. Without it you would have to sign in again on every page. It identifies your session only - it does not follow you around the web, and it holds no name, email, or payment detail

What we do not use

No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, no social media pixels, and no analytics that profile you across other sites. Your guests can visit your wedding site, RSVP, and give a gift without being tracked

Other storage in your browser

While you are building your site, the editor may keep a working copy of your draft in your browser’s own local storage so a refresh does not lose your work. That copy stays on your device, is never sent anywhere on its own, and clearing your browser data removes it

Cookies other companies may set

AHNOU sets nothing beyond the session cookie, but two places take you onto someone else’s site, where their own cookie rules apply and ours stop:

PayPal, when a guest goes to send you a cash gift
Retailers, when a guest clicks through to buy a gift from a store

A link out to a store may carry an affiliate code so the retailer can tell the click came from AHNOU. It identifies AHNOU, not your guest. See our Privacy Policy for how that fits with everything else

Managing your preferences

Because our only cookie is essential to signing in, there is nothing to opt out of without losing the ability to stay signed in. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time - you will simply be asked to sign in again. Every major browser lets you do this under its privacy or site-data settings, and all of them let you delete what is already stored

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers can send a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal asking sites not to track you or sell your data. AHNOU does neither of those things to begin with, so the signal changes nothing here - you are already covered

If this changes

If we ever add a non-essential cookie, we will update this page first and ask for your consent before it is set - not after. The date at the top of this page tells you when it last changed
