This notice covers browser storage, cookieless measurement, email pixels and tracked links, and optional third-party embeds. Necessary storage supports login and security. Optional embeds are gated behind a user action where implemented.
1. Browser technologies
| Technology | Provider | Purpose | Typical duration / control |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-*-auth-token and related auth storage | Supabase | Manager authentication, session refresh and security | Session or configured refresh lifetime; clearing it signs you out |
| Theme preference | SimpleVote | Remember light/dark/system display choice | Persistent local preference; clear site storage to remove |
| Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights beacons | Vercel | Cookieless aggregate usage and performance measurement | No marketing cookie set by SimpleVote; request metadata is handled under Vercel's service terms |
2. Email opens, clicks and delivery
Delivery events help organisers see whether invitations and reminders reached voters. Where open or click measurement is used, SimpleVote keeps only short-lived aggregate counts by election and email type - not named-voter or per-recipient reading history. Opens are approximate. Organisers should complete any PECR and transparency assessment before relying on engagement measurement. Blocking remote images or not following tracked links can limit measurement; delivery and suppression records still operate.
3. Optional third parties
- YouTube: a video player can send device, request and usage data to Google/YouTube after you choose to load it.
- TidyCal: the booking widget can set or read storage and receive request data after you choose to load it.
- Stripe: checkout is opened when a customer chooses a paid transaction and is governed by Stripe's notices.
- Customer fonts: a customer-configured remote font may cause the browser to contact its host on a branded page.
4. Your choices
Browser controls can delete or block cookies, but blocking necessary authentication storage prevents dashboard sign-in. Do not activate an optional embed if you do not want to contact that provider. Where an optional provider has loaded, use its controls and clear its site storage as appropriate.
