Draft — pending professional review
This document describes what the Pure•Bred platform actually does and the policies its founders have approved. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer. It is published in this state because an accurate description of how your data and your money are handled is more useful to you than a blank page — but it is not final, and it will be replaced by a reviewed version before Pure•Bred takes a live payment.
Version 1.0-draft · Last updated 5 September 2026
The short version
Pure•Bred sets the cookies required to keep you signed in and to keep the site secure. It does not currently set advertising or tracking cookies, and no third-party marketing or analytics technology is loaded on this site.
There is therefore nothing to consent to at the moment, which is why you are not being asked. If that changes, you will be asked properly, and declining will actually prevent those technologies from loading rather than merely recording your preference.
What is set, and why
Authentication. When you sign in, a session cookie identifies you to the server on each request. It is set by our authentication provider, is HTTP-only so page scripts cannot read it, and is what stops your library being visible to somebody else. Without it you would have to sign in on every page.
Security. The same mechanism carries the token refresh that keeps a session valid without asking for your password again, and the checks that prevent a request being replayed from another site.
These are strictly necessary: the site cannot provide an account without them. They are removed when you sign out.
What is stored in your browser besides cookies
Nothing that identifies you. The site keeps no advertising identifier, no cross-site profile and no device fingerprint.
Payment
Payment is handled by Stripe on Stripe’s own pages. Pure•Bred never sees or stores your card details. Stripe sets its own cookies on those pages under its own policy, including ones used to detect fraud.
If this changes
If Pure•Bred later introduces optional analytics or marketing technology, this page will list each one, say what it does, and a consent choice will appear. Declining will prevent it loading. We are not going to add trackers merely because the infrastructure would support them.
