This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on yourdressagejourney.com and within the Your Dressage Journey app. We aim to be straightforward. If anything here isn't clear, email support@yourdressagejourney.com and we'll explain.
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit it. Cookies allow the site to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and keep you signed in. Most websites use them. We do too, though only for purposes that are necessary to operate the platform.
When you log in to your account, our authentication system (Firebase) sets a session cookie that keeps you logged in across pages and visits. Without this cookie, you would have to sign in again every time you navigate. These cookies are strictly necessary to operate the platform.
When you subscribe or manage your subscription, our payment provider (Stripe) sets cookies to securely process your transaction and prevent fraud. These cookies are necessary for payments to work and are required to comply with payment industry security standards.
The platform may set small cookies to remember your in-app preferences (for example, which view you used last, or whether you've dismissed a notification). These improve your experience but are not strictly required for the site to function.
We do not use cookies to track you across other websites. We do not sell your data. We do not run third-party advertising on our site, so there are no ad-tracking cookies. We do not use cookies to build a behavioral profile of you for marketing purposes.
If we add analytics tools in the future to understand how the platform is being used, we will update this page and may add a consent banner where required.
The cookies described above are set by services we use to run the platform: Firebase (authentication, hosting) and Stripe (payments). These providers have their own privacy practices. You can review them at:
Most browsers let you view, manage, and delete cookies through your browser settings. You can also block cookies entirely. If you do, please be aware that core features of YDJ — including signing in and managing your subscription — will stop working.
For instructions specific to your browser, see:
If our cookie usage changes meaningfully (for example, if we add analytics or other tracking technologies), we will update this notice and adjust the effective date at the top of this page.
Email support@yourdressagejourney.com with any questions about how we use cookies or about your privacy on the platform. For broader privacy practices, see our Privacy Policy.
