Cookie policy

Cookies and browser storage

Cookies are small values a site can ask a browser to store and send with later requests. PRE currently sets none. Browser localStorage and sessionStorage are different ways to keep values on your device; they can still fall under rules about storing or accessing information.

The entries below are set by PRE on this site. They are not third-party tracking tools. The storage values are not automatically sent with page requests, and the current site does not upload these stored values for analytics. The waitlist form sends the details you submit separately, as explained in the Privacy policy.

What the site stores

pre.waitlist

Provider: PRE. Type: localStorage. Stores done after a successful waitlist submission so this browser shows the completed state. The value contains no email address. Used on the home and shop pages. No automatic expiry is set.

pre.motion

Provider: PRE. Type: localStorage. Stores paused or running when you change the motion control. Used on the home, shop, checkout preview and questions pages. No automatic expiry is set.

pre.bag

Provider: PRE. Type: localStorage. Stores the preview bag’s product choices and quantities in a versioned list. Used on the shop and checkout preview pages. It does not place an order. No automatic expiry is set.

pre.commit

Provider: PRE. Type: sessionStorage. Stores whether you signed, the signature image as a PNG data URL if supplied, the time, confirmation that the terms were accepted and a version number. Used on the shop and checkout preview pages. Stored on this device only, cleared when you close the tab and never uploaded.

pre.offer

Provider: PRE. Type: localStorage. Remembers that you revealed the shop preview’s scratch-card offer, using a version number and a revealed flag. It contains no customer identifier. Used on the shop page. No automatic expiry is set.

pre.region

Provider: PRE. Type: localStorage. Stores the shopping country you confirm or choose, as its two-letter code (for example FR) with a confirmed flag and a version number. It sets the currency prices are shown in, and the site does not ask for your country again. It is also stored when you close the country question without answering (the suggested country is kept, if there is one) and when you open a link that names a country, such as ?region=FR. Used on every page. No automatic expiry is set.

pre.lang

Provider: PRE. Type: localStorage. Stores the code of the language the site is shown in, for example fr, so every page opens in that language. It is stored when you pick a language, whenever the country question stores a country, and when you open a link that names a language, such as ?lang=fr. Used on every page. No automatic expiry is set.

pre.introSeen

Provider: PRE. Type: sessionStorage. Stores 1 after the home introduction finishes, so returning to the home page in the same tab skips that introduction. It normally lasts for the tab’s browsing session; browser session restoration can preserve it.

pre.regionAsked

Provider: PRE. Type: sessionStorage. Stores 1 when the site asks for your shopping country and could not suggest one, so the question is not shown again in the same tab if you leave it unanswered. It contains no country and is removed when you choose one. Used on every page. It normally lasts for the tab’s browsing session; browser session restoration can preserve it.

localStorage entries remain until you clear the site’s data, the site replaces or removes them, or the browser removes them. Closing a tab alone does not normally clear localStorage. There is no stored account or payment session.

To suggest a country and a language on your first visit, the site reads your device’s time zone and your browser’s language settings. This happens only inside your browser: they are never sent to us. The country list, the time-zone table and the prices are downloaded from this site like its other files and are the same for every visitor. The text for the language shown comes from a separate file for each language (for example /assets/i18n/fr/common.json), so, like any file request, our host and our request log see which language file your browser loaded (see the Privacy policy). If your browser blocks storage, your choices are kept only while the page is open.

Why there is no banner

A consent banner is not needed for an essential-only service where every storage use qualifies for a legal exception. PRE currently shows no banner. Our draft approach is to keep storage limited to the site features described above, without analytics or tracking for advertising.

For the UK rules, see the ICO guidance on storage exceptions.

Your browser controls

Use your browser’s site settings to clear cookies and site data for this website. Your browser may also let you block site storage. Its help pages explain the controls available on your device.

Clearing this data resets the local waitlist confirmation, motion choice, preview bag, checkout preview commitment and signature, revealed offer, introduction state, shopping country and language, so the site asks for your country again. It does not delete a waitlist entry already submitted to us. For that, use the contact route in our Privacy policy.

You can change motion using the site’s motion control; your device’s reduced-motion preference is respected. You can change your shopping country with the country button at the bottom of each page and the language with the language button at the top. If storage is unavailable, choices may not persist, the introduction may replay and the country question may appear on each page you open.

If this changes

We will update this policy and its change log when the site’s storage changes. Any future storage that requires consent must stay off until you consent, with a way to change that choice.
