Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site.

In addition to traditional cookies, modern websites also use similar technologies such as local storage (also known as Web Storage or HTML5 Storage). Local storage allows websites to store data directly in your browser. Unlike cookies, this data is not sent to the server with every request, making it more efficient for storing user preferences.

OutletSpot.net primarily uses local storage rather than traditional HTTP cookies. Local storage data persists in your browser until you explicitly clear it or remove it through your browser settings.

2. Cookies and Storage We Use

Below is a complete and transparent list of all cookies and local storage items used on OutletSpot.net:

Third-Party Requests

In addition to the above first-party storage, OutletSpot.net makes the following external requests that may involve cookies or data collection by third parties:

3. Categories of Cookies

We classify our cookies and storage into the following categories, in line with industry best practices and European data protection guidance:

Strictly Necessary

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under EU law, but we inform you about them for full transparency.

OutletSpot.net does not currently use any analytics or statistics cookies. We do not track your behaviour across the site using tools such as Google Analytics, Matomo, or similar services. Should this change in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be requested before any analytics cookies are placed.

5. Third-Party Cookies

OutletSpot.net uses the following third-party services that may involve cookies or data processing:

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts to deliver the Inter typeface for a consistent visual experience. When you load a page on OutletSpot.net, your browser makes a request to Google's servers to download the font files. Google states that the Google Fonts API is designed to limit the collection of information to what is needed to serve fonts efficiently. According to Google, the API logs CSS and font file requests, and access to these logs is kept secure. Aggregate usage statistics are used to measure the popularity of font families. Google states that it does not use any information collected by Google Fonts to create profiles of end users or to show targeted ads.

For more details, see the Google Fonts Privacy FAQ.

Google AdSense

When you consent to marketing cookies, we load Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may set cookies (such as __gads, __gpi, IDE, and DSID) to serve personalised or contextual ads, measure ad performance, and limit ad frequency. These cookies are only loaded after you give explicit marketing cookie consent. No advertising scripts or cookies are loaded if you decline or have not yet responded to the cookie consent banner.

You can manage your Google ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com. For more details, see Google Advertising Policies.

Netlify (Hosting Platform)

Our website is hosted on Netlify. As part of delivering the website to your browser, Netlify may process certain data at the infrastructure level, including your IP address, for the purposes of CDN caching, load balancing, and DDoS protection. Netlify may set platform-level cookies for these purposes. These are essential for the reliable delivery of the website and are not used for tracking or profiling.

For more details, see the Netlify Privacy Policy.

• Give or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time
• Access information about the data stored about you
• Request deletion of your data (you can do this by clearing your browser's local storage)
