Cookie Policy
This policy explains how Genielist may use cookies and similar browser storage, including localStorage.
Last updated: 14 September 2026
1. What cookies and localStorage are
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. localStorage is another form of browser storage that can keep information on your device. Genielist may use both to make the service work and remember useful choices.
2. Essential cookies and storage
Essential cookies and storage help Genielist run safely and reliably. They may support security, routing, session handling, load balancing, forms and other core service features.
3. Authentication and sessions
Genielist uses Supabase for authentication and database services. Authentication cookies or similar storage may keep you signed in, refresh your session and protect account access.
4. Guest list drafts
If you start a list before creating an account, Genielist may store the draft in localStorage. This lets you continue the draft in the same browser. The draft may be lost if you clear browser data, switch devices, use a different browser or save the draft to an account.
5. Preferences and consent
We may use cookies or localStorage to remember preferences such as interface settings, cookie choices and other small settings that make Genielist easier to use.
6. Analytics
Genielist may use analytics cookies or similar tools to understand how people use the service and to improve reliability and usability. Where required, we will ask for consent before using optional analytics.
7. Marketing, affiliate and referral technologies
Genielist does not need marketing or affiliate cookies for the core service. Genielist uses affiliate programmes including Amazon Associates and Sovrn Commerce.
When affiliate functionality is permitted by your consent choices, cookies or similar technologies may be used to:
- identify that you clicked a retailer link from Genielist;
- attribute qualifying purchases or conversions to Genielist;
- measure the performance of affiliate links;
- prevent fraud and abuse; and
- allow affiliate partners to calculate commissions.
These technologies may be set or read by Genielist, an affiliate provider such as Sovrn Commerce, or the retailer you visit.
Affiliate tracking that requires optional cookies or similar technologies must respect the site's existing consent preferences. You can review or change your cookie preferences using the site's cookie controls.
Amazon and other retailers may also use their own cookies and technologies once you visit their websites. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
Third-party services, embedded tools, analytics providers, affiliate services, retailers or linked websites may set their own cookies when you interact with them. Their cookies are controlled by those third parties, not Genielist.
8. Managing cookies
You can usually block, delete or manage cookies and site data through your browser settings. If you block essential cookies or storage, parts of Genielist may not work properly.
If Genielist shows a cookie consent control, you can use it to manage optional cookie choices where available.
9. Privacy Policy
