Cookie Policy
Last updated 7 October 2026
Planned Memories sets the storage strictly necessary to run the service, which under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations does not require consent. Anything beyond that — analytics or marketing measurement — is off by default and runs only if you switch it on in the consent banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the button below.
What we set
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication session | Local storage / cookie | Keeps you signed in and refreshes your session so you are not logged out mid-plan. | Until you sign out or the session expires |
| Sidebar preference | Local storage | Remembers whether you collapsed the dashboard sidebar. | Until you clear your browser storage |
| Onboarding draft | Local storage | Saves your part-finished answers so you do not lose them if you close the tab. | Cleared when onboarding completes |
| Security and load balancing | Cookie | Set by our hosting provider to route requests and block abuse. | Session |
| Cookie consent choice | Local storage | Remembers the categories you accepted or rejected so we do not ask again. | Until you clear your browser storage |
Optional categories
These are off unless you turn them on. No script for either category is loaded until you consent, and withdrawing consent stops it again.
| Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Analytics | Anonymous usage statistics so we can see which planning tools are used and where people get stuck. |
| Marketing | Measurement of which campaigns bring couples and suppliers to us. We run none of this today. |
Payments
When you pay a supplier, the checkout is served by our payment processor, which sets its own strictly necessary cookies to secure the transaction and prevent fraud. Those cookies are governed by the processor's own policy.
Changing your choice
Reopen the consent panel at any time to accept or reject the optional categories. Your choice is stored in this browser, so you will be asked again on a different device or after clearing your storage.
Managing storage in your browser
You can clear or block cookies and site storage in your browser settings. Blocking the strictly necessary items above will sign you out and stop the planning dashboard from working, since they are what keep your session alive.
If this changes
If we add a new tracking technology we will add it to this page and ask for your consent before it runs. Questions: privacy@plannedmemories.co.uk. See also our privacy policy.
