Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy is effective as of January 1, 2026 and explains how Ate Local (the "Service"), operated by 8-L, uses cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They help sites remember information about your visit — such as your preferences, whether you're signed in, and how you use the site — so the next visit can be easier and more useful.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep you signed in between visits.
• Remember preferences such as followed markets and saved businesses.
• Understand aggregate usage of the Service so we can improve it.
• Protect the Service against fraud and abuse.

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage and similar client-side storage to hold session information and user preferences. Local storage data stays on your device and is not transmitted with every request the way cookies are.

We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the Service is used in aggregate. Analytics cookies help us see which features are useful and where we can improve, and are not used to build advertising profiles about you.

We use cookies and tokens to keep your account secure, verify your session, and protect against unauthorized access. These are strictly necessary for the Service to function and cannot be turned off from within the app.

When you make a payment, our payment processor (Stripe) may set its own cookies to secure the transaction and detect fraud. Those cookies are governed by Stripe's own cookie and privacy policies.

Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect your experience of the Service — for example, you may be signed out or lose saved preferences. Refer to your browser's help pages for detailed instructions.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice through the Service.
