Cookie Policy

1. What cookies and storage are

Cookies and browser storage help web apps remember sessions and settings. Shelvly may use cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, and similar technologies. Data Controller: Newlux Multiservice LDA. Address: Tete City, Tete 2301, Mozambique. For questions about this policy, contact us at support@shelvly.app.

• Cookies: small pieces of data stored by the browser, including Supabase Auth cookies where applicable.
• localStorage: browser storage used for longer-lived preferences on this device.
• sessionStorage: browser storage used for temporary session data if needed by providers.
• Similar technologies: browser or PWA mechanisms that support app functionality.

2. Types used by Shelvly

Shelvly uses storage for necessary service operation and user preferences. Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights do not require an analytics-cookie category in this panel; marketing storage is not used.

• Strictly necessary: authentication/session, security, route protection, PWA/app functionality, language/theme preference, and Supabase auth storage.
• Preferences: language, theme, cookie preference choices, and install/home-screen dismissal state when used.
• Analytics: Vercel Web Analytics provides aggregated usage statistics without third-party cookies or analytics cookies.
• Marketing: not currently used. Marketing cookies are not used unless added later with consent.

3. Vercel analytics and performance services

Shelvly uses Vercel Web Analytics to collect aggregated usage statistics without using analytics cookies. These analytics help us understand page views, usage patterns, and performance while avoiding private pantry content.

• Vercel Web Analytics: aggregated information about page views and website usage without analytics cookies.
• Vercel Speed Insights: anonymous performance measurements, such as page performance and Core Web Vitals, used to improve speed and reliability.

4. Consent approach

Strictly necessary cookies and storage are required for the service. Optional analytics and marketing storage should be disabled until consent is given.

• Necessary storage cannot be disabled because the service needs it to function.
• Preference storage can be managed by the user and is used to remember app choices.
• Users should be able to change optional preferences if optional tools are introduced.
