Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how GiftIt LLC (“GiftIt”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the GiftIt websites and the GiftIt Business portal. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, SDKs, and device fingerprints. We refer to all of these collectively as “cookies.”

2. Categories we use

Strictly necessary

Required for the Services to function — including authenticating you, keeping you signed in, remembering your active session, and preventing fraud and abuse. These cookies are always on; without them the Services will not work properly.

Preferences

Remember choices you make so that you do not have to set them again — for example, your interface preferences, your business context, and any notification preferences.

Analytics

Help us understand how the Services are used so we can improve them — for example, which pages are most-visited, where errors occur, and how features are adopted. We use pseudonymous identifiers for analytics where possible.

Marketing

We currently do not use cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising. If that changes, we will update this Policy, surface a consent prompt where required, and honor opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control.

3. Specific cookies and tokens

The Business portal stores authentication tokens (“giftit_business_token” and “giftit_business_refresh_token”) in browser local storage to keep you signed in across sessions. The Admin portal uses an equivalent token (“giftit_admin_token”). These are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled while you are signed in.

4. How to control cookies

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may break parts of the Services, including authentication. You can also use a privacy-focused browser, an extension that limits tracking, or a Global Privacy Control signal — we honor GPC signals as a valid opt-out request where required by law.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no consistent industry standard for interpreting these signals, we do not respond to them; however, we honor Global Privacy Control signals where required by applicable law.

6. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices evolve. We will post the updated Policy with a new “Last updated” date.
