🍪 Cookie Notice

Our Approach to Cookies

SpoonieFans, operated by Pickii Group, LLC, takes a minimal approach to cookies. We only use cookies that are strictly necessary to keep you logged in and your account secure. We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking across websites, behavioral profiling, or third-party analytics.

Cookies We Use

All cookies on SpoonieFans fall into a single category: strictly necessary. Under GDPR, ePrivacy, and similar laws, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, but we believe in being transparent about them anyway.

1. Session Cookies

• Purpose: Keeping you logged in as you move between pages
• Type: First-party (set by SpoonieFans only)
• Duration: Deleted automatically when you close your browser or log out

2. Authentication Cookies

• Purpose: Verifying your identity and protecting your account from unauthorized access
• Type: First-party
• Duration: Persists for the length of your active session, then expires

3. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Trust Cookies (Optional)

• Purpose: Remembering trusted devices so you do not have to re-enter your 2FA code on every login
• Type: First-party
• Duration: Up to 30 days, only if you check the "Trust this device" option during 2FA login
• Control: You can clear trusted devices at any time from your account security settings

4. Security Cookies

• Purpose: Protecting against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other security threats
• Type: First-party
• Duration: Session-based, deleted when you close your browser

What We Do NOT Use

To be clear, SpoonieFans does NOT use:

• Advertising or marketing cookies
• Third-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.)
• Social media tracking pixels (Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, etc.)
• Cross-site tracking or behavioral profiling
• Cookies that share data with advertisers or data brokers
• Retargeting or remarketing cookies

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that blocking session and authentication cookies will prevent you from logging in or staying logged in to SpoonieFans.

If This Ever Changes

If we ever expand our use of cookies — for example, by adding analytics or advertising tools — we will update this Cookie Notice, notify you in advance, and implement a proper cookie consent banner with opt-in and opt-out controls before any new tracking begins. Your trust matters more to us than the data we could collect.
