Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Daneel ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our website and services at www.ohnoma.com (the "Service"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

By using our Service, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

2. How We Implement Cookie Consent (GDPR-Friendly)

We use a custom cookie consent solution built with the cookies-next library so we have full control over the experience and can ensure compliance with GDPR and similar laws.

• Consent banner: When you first visit, we show a banner that explains we use cookies and asks for your consent.
• Accept button: If you click "Accept," we store your consent in a cookie (e.g. cookie-consent) using setCookie from cookies-next, so we remember your choice (for up to one year).
• Conditional loading: We load analytics and other non-essential scripts (Google Tag Manager, Google Ads/gtag, Vercel Analytics) only after you have given consent. Until then, those scripts do not run, which is important for GDPR compliance.
• Layout integration: Our CookieConsent component is integrated in the main layout so the banner and consent logic apply across all pages.

3. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

4.1 Consent Cookie

When you accept the cookie banner, we set a cookie (e.g. cookie-consent) to record your choice. We use this so we do not show the banner again and so we know we are allowed to load analytics and similar technologies.

4.2 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They enable core features such as security, authentication, and session management. You cannot opt out of these cookies without affecting how the Service works.

• Session cookies: Keep you logged in and maintain your session while you use the Service
• Security cookies: Help protect against fraud and unauthorized access

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the Service to remember choices you make (such as language or region) and to provide enhanced, more personal features.

4.4 Analytics and Performance Cookies (After Consent)

We use these cookies to understand how visitors use our Service so we can improve it. They help us measure traffic, identify popular pages, and detect technical issues.

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyze usage. You can opt out via Google's opt-out tool, or manage preferences in Google Ads Settings.
• Google Tag Manager: Used to manage analytics and marketing tags on our Service.

4.5 Marketing and Advertising Cookies (After Consent)

We may allow third parties to use cookies on our Service for analytics and advertising purposes (for example, to show you relevant ads on other sites). You can control these through your browser or through third-party opt-out tools such as NAI opt-out.

5. How Long Do Cookies Last?

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (from a few days to several years) or until you delete them. The retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie.

6. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Block all cookies

If you block or delete cookies, some parts of our Service may not work correctly (for example, staying logged in or saving preferences). For more information, see your browser's help section (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

7. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may use various third-party cookies (e.g., Google Analytics, Stripe for payments) to report usage and support payment and analytics. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last Updated" date at the top will be revised when we make changes. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
