Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Grab My Scrap uses cookies on grabmyscrap.co.uk.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function properly and remember certain information about your visit.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly:

• Logging you into your account.
• Keeping your session active while you use the site.
• Remembering your theme preference (light/dark mode).
• Ensuring the security and proper functionality of the Website.

Analytics Cookies

We use a privacy-focused, first-party analytics tool (One Dollar Stats) to understand how users interact with our Website. This tool may set cookies or similar identifiers to:

• Track pages you visit and features you use.
• Recognise returning visitors and understand how different parts of the Website are used over time.
• Understand behaviour patterns to improve the Website and fix bugs.
• Measure the effectiveness of features.
• Display optional feedback prompts (usually only to signed-in users, such as scrap collectors).

For customers using the Website without an account, analytics cookies are used with pseudonymous identifiers. For signed-in scrap collectors, some analytics events may be associated with your account. Analytics data is used solely to improve the Website and is not used for advertising or sold to third parties.

Payment and Third-Party Cookies (Stripe)

When scrap collectors manage or purchase subscriptions, they may be redirected to Stripe (our payment provider) for checkout or to a customer portal. Stripe may set its own cookies on its domains to operate its payment services and prevent fraud. These cookies are controlled by Stripe and are subject to Stripe's own cookie and privacy policies.

We do not use: Advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies, or third-party marketing cookies on grabmyscrap.co.uk.

3. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. However, blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using core features of the Website.
• Analytics Opt-Out: You can reduce analytics tracking by enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser settings or by using browser extensions that block analytics scripts and cookies.
• Survey Preferences: Feedback surveys are optional and only appear if you're signed in. You can simply close them or ignore them without affecting your experience.

Please note that blocking cookies may affect the functionality and performance of the Website. Essential cookies are necessary for the Website to work, while analytics cookies help us improve your experience.

4. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

The most recent version will always be available on grabmyscrap.co.uk.
