Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-03-02
This Cookie Policy explains how ispendtoomuch (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you use https://ispendtoomuch.com. This should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage or session storage.
2. Cookies we use
2.1 Strictly necessary
These are required for the website to function (e.g. authentication, security, load balancing). They do not require your consent in most jurisdictions because they are essential. We use them to:
- Keep you signed in where applicable
- Remember your preferences (e.g. display currency) where we store them in the browser
- Protect against abuse and ensure security
2.2 Functional
These improve your experience (e.g. remembering settings). We may use local storage to persist choices such as your selected currency without requiring a cookie that is sent to the server on every request.
2.3 Analytics and performance
If we use analytics (e.g. to understand how people use our site), we will describe them here and, where required by law, ask for your consent before setting non-essential analytics cookies. We aim to use privacy-respecting options where possible.
2.4 Marketing
We do not currently use cookies for third-party advertising or marketing. If we do in the future, we will update this policy and obtain consent where required.
3. Third-party cookies
Some services we use (e.g. payment providers like Polar, or analytics if we add them) may set their own cookies. Their use is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies. We do not control those cookies.
4. Your choices
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works. For more on your rights over personal data processed via cookies, see our Privacy Policy.
5. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do.
