FuturePosts Cookie Policy
Effective 23 September 2026.
In short
- We use cookies and similar storage in your browser to keep the site working, to keep your postcard draft on your device, and to keep checkout secure.
- We do not use advertising cookies.
- We use analytics to understand how the site is used.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a website places on your device. Websites can also keep similar information in your browser. This policy covers both, and says which kinds FuturePosts uses and why.
2. The cookies and storage we use
| Purpose | Set by | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary: keeps the site working and keeps your device signed in to your capsule. | FuturePosts | Up to 12 months, or until you sign out |
| Your own work on your device: keeps the postcard you are designing and your settings in your browser, so you can come back to them. | FuturePosts, in your browser | A limited time, or until you start over or clear your browser’s site data |
| Security: tells real visitors from automated traffic and protects the service. | Our hosting provider | Up to the length of your visit |
| Payments: detects fraud and keeps checkout secure. | Stripe, on its own checkout pages | Set by Stripe, see stripe.com/cookies-policy |
| Analytics: helps us understand how the site is used and where visits come from. | FuturePosts, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity | Up to 2 years |
3. Analytics
We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to see how the site is used, so we can improve it. We do not turn on their advertising features. They are not used on private capsule pages. These providers may process this data outside the EEA under the safeguards the law requires.
4. Your choices
- Your browser. You can block or delete cookies, and clear your browser’s site data, in your browser’s settings at any time. If you block the strictly necessary ones, you may be asked to sign in again and checkout may not complete. If you clear your browser’s site data, an unfinished draft is lost.
- Google’s opt-out. Google offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics on every site, at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
5. Changes to this policy
We may change this policy. The effective date is at the top.
