This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies Loozap uses and how you can control them. It is part of our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them. First-party cookies are set by Loozap. Third-party cookies are set by another company's domain. Loozap also uses your browser's local storage, which works in a similar way.
Our approach
- We use only first-party cookies.
- We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
- We do not currently use any third-party analytics tool. Our cookie banner has an "Analytics" category so that, if we add one later, it will run only after you agree.
Cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are needed for Loozap to work, so they cannot be switched off.

Local storage

Local storage stays in your browser until you clear it.
Other third-party requests
To load fonts, icons and page scripts quickly, your browser downloads files from Google Fonts, cdnjs (Cloudflare) and jsDelivr. These services do not set cookies through Loozap, but like any website they receive your IP address and browser information.
If you use features that depend on another provider, such as a payment page, a location search or an embedded video, that provider may set its own cookies under its own policy. We will ask for consent first where the law requires it.
Managing cookies
- Change your cookie settings at any time. This link opens the same panel as our cookie banner.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, you won't be able to sign in.
- More about cookies: CNIL (France), allaboutcookies.org.
Changes
We will update this page when we add, change or remove cookies. If we add cookies that need your consent, we will ask you again.
