03Product analytics (consent-required)

We use an EU-region product-analytics provider to measure how the Service is used (pageviews, feature usage, signup-CTA clicks). These analytics cookies are non-essential and are loaded only after you accept analytics in the cookie banner.

Cookie setPurposeDuration

If you reject analytics in the banner, none of these cookies are set. If you accept and later change your mind, use the Cookie preferences link in the footer to update your choice.

04Cookies set by Paddle (checkout and payments)

When you purchase or manage a paid plan, our reseller and Merchant of Record Paddle.comoperates the checkout and customer portal and may set its own strictly necessarycookies to process the transaction and prevent fraud. These are governed by Paddle’s own cookie and privacy notice.

06Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. You can also change your analytics choice at any time via the Cookie preferences link in the footer. Clearing our essential cookies will log you out; the Service will still function but you will need to sign in again. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may prevent the Service or checkout from working.

07Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

We honour the Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC) signal where applicable. Since we do not track you across sites, no behavioural data is collected to suppress.

08Browser extension storage

Any Your Next Seat browser extension uses chrome.storage.local (device-local storage, not cookies) to cache form-fill profile data on your device. This data does not leave your browser and is not transmitted to us as cookies.

09Changes

We may update this policy as our cookie use changes. Material changes update the “Last updated” date at the top and, where a new non-essential cookie is introduced, are accompanied by a consent mechanism.
