Cookies and Local Storage

1 · Cookies, local storage, and the difference

Cookies are small text files a website places on your device and sends back to its server with each request. Local storage is a similar browser feature, but the data stays on your device and is only read by the page itself.

Envit sets no cookies of its own. Everything we store uses local storage, which is why this policy covers both — the law treats them the same way, and you deserve an accurate description rather than a generic one.

2 · What we store on your device

These items, all strictly necessary:

• Your sign-in token — keeps you signed in as you move between pages. Without it you would have to enter a code on every screen. Removed when you sign out
• Your invitation draft — saves what you are building as you type, so the builder works before you create an account and you do not lose your work if the tab closes. This includes anything you typed into the gift section, such as bank details. While you edit a published invitation, your unsaved changes are kept the same way
• Your photos and music — the files you add are kept in your browser's own storage (IndexedDB) until they are uploaded when you publish, so you do not have to add them again if the page reloads
• Your language choice — remembers whether you chose English, Arabic, French and so on, so you are not asked again
• A record of your payment while publishing — after you pay, a short note of the payment and of the upload progress, so that if the page closes mid-way your invitation is published without paying again. Removed once it is published
• A one-off reload marker — kept only for the open tab (session storage), so that after we release a new version the page reloads once rather than in a loop

None of these are used to profile you, to build an advertising audience, or to follow you to other websites.

3 · What we do not use

We use no advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, no third-party marketing tags, and no analytics that identify you. We have not installed an advertising or analytics pixel of any kind.

This is why you are not greeted by a consent banner. Everything we store is strictly necessary to deliver a service you asked for, which does not require consent. If we ever add anything that does, we will ask you first — properly, with a real choice to decline.

4 · Our payment provider and embedded content

When you pay, our payment provider processes the transaction and may set its own cookies to do so securely and to detect fraud. Those are governed by the provider's own cookie and privacy policies, not this one. They are set only when you reach the payment step.

Embedded maps and music. When a Google Maps preview of the venue or a SoundCloud player loads — in the editor or on an invitation — Google or SoundCloud may set their own cookies, under their own policies. We do not control or read them.

5 · Managing and clearing what is stored

• Signing out removes your sign-in token
• Publishing your invitation clears the local draft and its photos and music, since they then live in your account
• Clearing site data for envit.me in your browser settings removes everything we have stored

Because everything we store is strictly necessary, clearing it will sign you out and discard an unpublished draft — but nothing that has been published is affected.

If you are working on a shared or public computer, clear site data before you leave, particularly if you entered bank details in the gift section.
