Definitions: Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small data files stored in your browser or device when you visit a website. They help enable core operations, improve user experience, perform analytics, and facilitate secure transactions.

We may also use Local Storage (e.g., to persist a license key), and limited Device Fingerprinting strictly for security and anti-fraud—not for behavioral tracking or advertising.

These technologies do not directly identify you, but some may be considered personal data under laws such as GDPR or CCPA/CPRA.

• Local Storage: used for functionality (e.g., license key persistence).
• Device Fingerprinting: limited scope for security/anti-fraud only.

Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify cookies by purpose. Some are essential to the Website’s operation.

• Strictly necessary: fundamental to site operation (session security, licensing). Examples: stripe_mid, stripe_sid, stripe_orig_props, stripe.csrf (Stripe); admin_session, jwt_token, Secure-has_logged_in (session/auth); cookie-perms (consent/preferences); machine_identifier, private_machine_identifier, cookie-fingerprint (device recognition); localStorage:license_key (license ID + HWID). Retention: session cookies delete on browser close; persistent cookies up to 1 year unless you delete earlier.
• Analytics (consent-based): insights to improve performance. Examples: _ga, _gid, cid (Google Analytics). Enabled only after consent. Storage duration: up to 26 months.
• Functional (optional): currently not in use; may be introduced in future (e.g., personalization such as wallpaper preferences) and will require explicit consent.

Third-Party Services and Their Cookies

We integrate third-party services that may set their own cookies under their respective policies.

• Stripe: secure payment processing.
• Google Analytics: aggregate usage metrics (if consented).
• Potential services: Vercel (CDN/hosting), Resend (email).
• Please review their privacy and cookie policies for details.

Cookie Consent Mechanism

In line with GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and CPRA, Wallper shows a Cookie Consent Banner on first visit.

• Options include: accept all, reject non-essential, or customize by category (where available).
• You may later update/withdraw consent via the site’s cookie settings (if available) or by clearing cookies in your browser.
• Important: Disabling certain cookies may impair functionality, including secure login, license validation, or transaction capabilities.

Legal Basis for Using Cookies

• Legitimate interests: essential cookies for security, licensing, platform stability.
• Consent: analytics and optional functionality cookies.
• Contractual necessity: session/payment cookies that facilitate transactions.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding personal data collected via cookies.

• GDPR (EU/EEA/UK): access, rectification, erasure; object or restrict processing; withdraw consent at any time; lodge a complaint with your local DPA.
• CCPA/CPRA (California): right to know and delete cookie-derived personal data; right to opt out of sale/sharing (Wallper does not sell user data); right to non-discrimination.
• To exercise your rights, contact support@wallper.app.

Security of Cookie Data

We implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect cookie-derived data.

• Secure HTTPS/TLS connections.
• Limited access by authorized personnel.
• Use of privacy-focused, compliant third-party tools.
• No system is 100% secure—manage your own cookie settings for enhanced privacy.

Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The most current version is available at https://wallper.app/cookies.

Where legally required, we will notify users of material changes via a banner, on-site notice, or direct email (if contact has been established).
