Currently, Website Review Day primarily uses session cookies, which are essential for website functionality.
Additionally, third-party payment processors such as Stripe may set cookies as part of secure transaction processing.
At this time, we do not actively use analytics, marketing, or other third-party cookies.
However, we reserve the right to introduce additional cookies in the future, including those for analytics, marketing, or user experience enhancements.
Any such changes will be reflected in this policy and the cookie consent settings provided to users.

Our website integrates with third-party payment processors such as Stripe to facilitate secure transactions.
These payment processors may use cookies to:
- Authenticate transactions and enhance security.
- Detect and prevent fraudulent activity.
- Store user preferences related to payment methods.
- Provide localized payment options.
We do not control the cookies set by payment processors, and users are responsible for managing their preferences directly with the payment processor.
