Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Scoffers App (a trading name of Design Superheroes Ltd) uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies on scoffers.app.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
We also use localStorage — a browser storage mechanism that works similarly to cookies but is not automatically sent to servers with each request. It persists across browser sessions until explicitly cleared.
This policy covers both cookies and localStorage used by Scoffers.
2. The cookies and storage we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function. The website cannot operate properly without them and they do not require your consent under UK PECR.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
session | HTTP cookie (httpOnly, Secure) | Authenticates your logged-in session. Set when you log in; cleared when you log out or the session expires. | 1 day (standard) or 30 days ("Remember me") |
Functional storage (localStorage)
These items are stored locally in your browser to remember your preferences and improve your experience. They are never transmitted to our servers.
| Key | Type | Purpose | Cleared when |
|---|---|---|---|
scoff_geo | localStorage | Stores your approximate GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) so that offer listings can show distances to nearby venues. Only set if you allow location access via the location banner. | You click "Clear location" or clear your browser data |
Analytics and performance
We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand how the platform is used and how it performs. These tools are designed to be privacy-respecting:
- They do not set persistent tracking cookies
- They do not build cross-site user profiles
- Data collected includes anonymised page view counts, referrer URLs, browser type, device type, and performance timings
- No personally identifiable information is transmitted to Vercel for analytics purposes
| Provider | Purpose | More information |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel Analytics | Anonymised page view tracking and visitor statistics | Vercel Analytics privacy |
| Vercel Speed Insights | Real-user performance metrics (load times, Core Web Vitals) | Vercel Speed Insights docs |
Third-party cookies
Some features on the platform load scripts from third parties that may set their own cookies or storage. We do not control these cookies directly; please refer to the respective privacy policies for details.
| Provider | When loaded | Purpose | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | When you use venue search or view a map | Renders interactive maps and provides address autocomplete for venue creation. Google may set cookies and collect usage data in accordance with their privacy policy. | Google Privacy Policy |
| Stripe | When you visit the Stripe-hosted checkout page | Stripe's payment pages run on Stripe's own domain and may set cookies to detect fraud, remember payment preferences, and process your transaction securely. | Stripe Privacy Policy |
| Cloudinary | When images are displayed | Images on the platform are served from Cloudinary's CDN. Cloudinary may set cookies or collect server-side usage data for CDN optimisation. | Cloudinary Privacy Policy |
3. Your choices and how to control cookies
Location data
You can clear your stored location at any time using the "Clear location" option shown in the offers page when location is active. You can also deny location access via your browser's permission settings before triggering the location banner.
Browser cookie controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Note
that blocking the session cookie will prevent you from logging in.
4. Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when changes were last made. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
