1. INTRODUCTION

This Cookie Policy explains how Pickny ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at pickny.com (the "Site"). It should be read alongside our Global Privacy Policy at pickny.com/privacy.

By continuing to use the Site, you consent to our use of non-essential cookies in accordance with this Policy. You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time via our Cookie Preferences Centre.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner.

We also use similar technologies including:

  • Local storage — browser-based storage for saving session data and preferences.
  • Session storage — temporary storage cleared when you close your browser tab.
  • Pixel tags / web beacons — small images embedded in pages or emails that help us track engagement.
  • Device fingerprinting — a combination of device attributes used for fraud prevention and security.

3. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function and cannot be disabled. They do not require your consent. Without them, core features such as login and account access would not work.

  • Session management — keeping you logged in during your visit.
  • Security — protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other threats.
  • Load balancing — routing traffic to ensure Site stability.
  • Cookie consent record — storing your cookie preferences.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are visited most, where users drop off, and how they navigate. All data is aggregated and pseudonymised. These cookies are only set with your consent.

  • Google Analytics — tracks page views, session duration, traffic sources, and user behaviour.
  • Internal analytics — first-party event tracking for feature usage and performance monitoring.

These cookies remember your choices and personalise your experience. They are set with your consent.

  • Language and region preferences.

3.4 Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how the Site performs, enabling us to identify and fix errors quickly. Data is collected in pseudonymised form and requires your consent.

  • Error logging — capturing JavaScript errors and broken requests.
  • Page load monitoring — measuring rendering speed across devices and browsers.
