Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how EasyRSVP ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on easyrsvp.net, what those technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. If you have questions, contact us at support@easyrsvp.net.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They let the website recognize your browser on later visits and remember things such as your sign-in state or preferences. Cookies set by EasyRSVP are first-party cookies; cookies set by a provider working on our behalf are third-party cookies.

Local storage and session storage are similar to cookies but stored directly in your browser. Local storage persists across visits until cleared. Session storage is cleared when you close the tab or browser. We use both to remember short-lived UI state (for example, whether background music is playing for an invitation you opened) and cached pricing information so the site loads faster.

For simplicity, this policy refers to all of these technologies as "cookies."

Why we use cookies

We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember your language and product preferences, keep features working as you move between pages, and understand how people use EasyRSVP so we can improve it. We do not use cookies for advertising or retargeting, and we do not allow third parties to track you across other websites through our service.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

These are required for the service to work. They include the authentication session cookie that keeps you signed in after entering your one-time login code (set as HttpOnly and Secure with the SameSite attribute, which also helps prevent cross-site request forgery), and a country cookie used to choose the correct currency and pricing tier. You cannot turn these off and still use EasyRSVP.

Functional

These remember choices that improve your experience: your language preference, whether you have background music playing for an open invitation, cached currency and pricing information so prices appear quickly, and which variant of a feature an A/B test has assigned you. Disabling these will not break the site, but features may feel less smooth or your preferences may reset between visits.

Analytics and session quality

We use cookies and similar identifiers set by our analytics and session-quality providers to count pageviews, measure feature usage, identify bugs, and produce pseudonymous session replays and heatmaps. Form inputs are masked by default in replays. We use this information to understand how the product is used and to improve it, not to build a marketing profile about you.

Advertising

We do not set advertising or retargeting cookies, and we do not embed third-party advertising or social-media tracking pixels on EasyRSVP.

First-party and third-party cookies

Strictly necessary and functional cookies are mostly first-party (set by easyrsvp.net itself). Analytics and session-quality cookies are third-party, set by the providers we use for those purposes. Those providers process this data on our behalf and according to their own published policies.

How long cookies stay on your device

Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close the browser. Persistent cookies stay for the period set when they are created, which depends on the cookie: the authentication session typically lasts about two weeks; the country cookie lasts about a month; language and A/B-test cookies last up to a year; and analytics cookies last from a few months up to two years, depending on the provider. You can clear all of them at any time from your browser.

How you can control cookies

• Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via their settings. Look for "Privacy," "Cookies," or "Site data." Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will sign you out and may break parts of the site.
• You can use a privacy-focused browser (for example Brave) or browser extensions such as Privacy Badger, Ghostery, or uBlock Origin to block third-party trackers.
• These choices are per browser and per device. You will need to make them on each browser or device you use.

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is currently no agreed industry standard for how to interpret DNT, we do not change our behavior in response to it. If a standard is adopted that we are required to follow, we will update this policy.

We do not currently display an in-product cookie consent banner. Non-essential cookies (analytics and session-quality) are set on first visit. You can use the browser and extension controls listed above to opt out, and you can ask us to disable analytics and session replay for your account by emailing support@easyrsvp.net.

Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our product evolves or as laws change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the latest version. For material changes we will surface a notice in the product.
