Cookie Policy
Last updated: 20 August 2026
This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies PackForBreak uses, why we use them, how long they last, and how you can manage your choices.
1. Who we are
The controller for cookies placed by PackForBreak is PackForBreak Sh.p.k., operating at packforbreak.com. For data-protection questions, contact privacy@packforbreak.com.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site recognise your browser, remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and help us understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage for the same purposes.
Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
3. Cookie categories
Essential
Always onRequired for the platform to work. They let you sign in, keep your session secure, process checkout, and prevent fraud. These cannot be turned off.
Preferences
Always onRemember choices you make, such as currency, language and recent searches, so the site feels faster and more personal.

Marketing
OptionalUsed to measure affiliate referrals and to build remarketing audiences. They may allow us to show you relevant PackForBreak offers on other websites or social platforms.

5. Third-party services
We use a small number of trusted third-party services that may set their own cookies or read data they have already stored:
- Supabase Auth — provides secure sign-in and session management.
- Google Analytics — anonymous usage statistics (only when Analytics consent is granted).
- Meta / Facebook — advertising and attribution measurement (only when Marketing consent is granted).
- Stripe — payment processing. Stripe may use fraud-prevention cookies that are considered essential for the transaction.
We do not sell cookie data or browsing history. Third parties process data on our behalf under data-processing agreements.
6. How you can manage cookies
When you first visit PackForBreak, we show a consent banner. You can choose "Essential only", "Accept all", or open "Customise" to pick Analytics and Marketing separately.
You can change your mind at any time by clicking the button below. Your new choice takes effect immediately, and non-essential scripts will be stopped or started accordingly.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Keep in mind that blocking Essential cookies will prevent sign-in, checkout and account features from working.
7. Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new features or change third-party providers. When we do, we will increase the consent version and show the banner again so you can review your choice. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows the current version.
