Cookie Policy
What cookies Skip or Ship uses, why, and how to control them.
Last updated: April 28, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how SkipOrShip uses cookies and similar browser-storage technologies, and how you can control them.
We split things into strictly necessary (always on, required to make sign-in, payments, and abuse prevention work), functional (small UI conveniences), and analytics (only set after you accept the cookie banner).
Strictly necessary
Always on. Disabling these will prevent core features such as sign-in and payments from working.
Authentication
Keeps you signed in across pages and authorises requests on your behalf.
Up to 1 year (refreshed on activity)
Payment processing
Set by our payment processor to verify your session and detect fraud during checkout.
Session to 1 year
Security & abuse prevention
Protects sensitive flows from automated abuse and unusual activity.
Short-lived
Functional
Stored in your browser. Not used to identify you or shared with anyone.
Site preferences
Remembers small choices you have made in the interface, stored only in your browser.
Until you clear browser storage
Cookie preferences
Remembers your consent choice so we don’t ask again on every visit.
Until you clear browser storage
Analytics
Off by default. Loaded only after you accept the banner. We do not sell or share analytics data.
Product analytics
Counts unique visitors and aggregate page views so we can understand how SkipOrShip is used and improve it. Set only after you accept the cookie banner.
Up to 2 years
Third-party services
We rely on a small set of third-party providers to run the service. Cookies set by these providers are governed by their own privacy policies:
- Authentication provider— sign-in and session management.
- Stripe— payments and fraud prevention. Active only when you visit a payment screen.
- Google Analytics— aggregate usage measurement. Active only after you accept the cookie banner.
We do not use cookies for advertising or to build profiles for sale.
Managing your preferences
You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's storage in your browser and reloading the page — the cookie banner will appear again so you can update your decision.
You can also block cookies at the browser level. Disabling strictly-necessary cookies will prevent sign-in and payments from working.
Updates
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the most recent change.
