Cookie Policy

Effective date: 1 June 2026  ·  Last updated: 1 June 2026

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember preferences, and — where permitted — to measure how a site is used. Similar technologies such as localStorage are treated the same way in this policy.

2. Our approach

sparqly.eu is a marketing and information website. By default it sets only strictly necessary storage. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Any non-essential category is off until you actively enable it.

3. Cookies and storage we use

Strictly necessary — always active. Required for the site to function:

• Security and basic request integrity for the web server.
• A small localStorage entry (sparqly-cookie-consent) that records your cookie choices so we do not ask again on every visit.

Analytics and performance — off by default, set only with your consent. If enabled, these would help us understand which pages are useful and where the site can improve. We currently do not set analytics cookies; this category exists so your preference is respected if privacy-friendly analytics are introduced.

The Sparqly operator platform at app.sparqly.eu is a separate application with its own session cookies, governed by your operator agreement rather than this website policy.

4. Managing your preferences

You can review or change your choices at any time using the cookie preferences panel:

Open cookie settings

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Because the site relies only on strictly necessary storage, blocking it will not break core browsing, though your cookie choice may not be remembered between visits.

5. Your rights

Where we process personal data, your rights under the GDPR — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent — are described in ourPrivacy Policy. Consent given through the cookie banner can be withdrawn at any time using the settings link above.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable law. Material changes will be reflected with an updated effective date at the top of this page.
