4. Cookies
Functional cookies (no consent required)
The Pelicopy application (app.pelicopy.com) sets a session cookie that stores your authentication token (JWT). This cookie is strictly necessary for the application to function. It is not used for tracking or advertising.
The Pelicopy marketing site (pelicopy.com) does not set any cookies unless you accept analytics cookies.
Analytics cookies (consent required)
If you accept analytics cookies on the marketing site, we load Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC). Google Analytics sets cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, session duration, approximate geographic region). No personally identifiable information is sent to Google Analytics.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using Google's opt-out browser add-on.
5. Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We use the following sub-processors to operate our service:

| Google LLC | Website analytics (Google Analytics) — only if you have accepted analytics cookies | United States |
International transfers
Data processed by Google LLC may be transferred to and stored in the United States. Such transfers are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission under Art. 46 GDPR. You can review Google's data transfer documentation at business.safety.google/gdpr.
All other processing takes place within the European Union.
6. How long we keep your data
