1. What cookies are
Small files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember things like whether you are signed in. inAmber uses them only where it needs to.
2. Needed to run the site
Always on. The site cannot work without them, so they do not need a yes.

Stripe, for Apple Pay and Google Pay
Necessary on the pages where you can pay in one tap. Set by Stripe, our payment provider, so Apple Pay or Google Pay can show and so payments are protected against fraud. Loaded only when the Apple Pay or Google Pay buttons come into view.
Set by Stripe.
When you pay, Stripe, our payment provider, sets its own cookies on its checkout page to take the payment safely and prevent fraud. Stripe’s cookie policy explains them.
3. Analytics, for everyone
Google Analytics counts visits and pages so we can see what works and improve the site. It is measurement only: not used for adverts, and Google signals are switched off. It runs for everyone, as the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 allows, and you can turn it off at any time below or in the footer of every page.

Google Analytics: counts visits and the pages seen, without identifying you. Not used for adverts.
Set by Google. Lasts: Up to 2 years.
4. Advertising and other optional cookies, only after Accept
These tell us which adverts and partners bring people to inAmber, and let Klarna’s options show under our prices. None is set until you choose Accept. If you choose Decline, or do not answer, no advertising cookie is set; Google and Awin may still receive a count of visits and purchases without any cookie, which they cannot link to you.

Two places that will never be tracked
We do not run analytics or advertising on the pages where you read a message somebody left for you, in your vault, or on the pages where a Guardian tells us that the time has come.
Agreeing to cookies here never counts as agreeing to anything else.
5. Turning them off
Necessary cookies are always on, because the site cannot work without them. Analytics is on for everyone until you turn it off, here or in the footer of any page. Advertising and other optional cookies are on only if you choose Accept, and you can change your answer here at any time. Every browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings.
6. Changes
If we ever add a new kind of cookie we will update this page and tell you, and we will ask for your consent before setting anything that needs it.
