1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember preferences, maintain login sessions, and analyse site traffic. Cookies can be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (stored for a set period).
This Cookie Policy applies to sakurato.tech and explains which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage them.

Sakurato.tech does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other behavioural tracking tools.
3. Cookies and the Sakurato Plugin
The Sakurato Crypto Portfolio Tracker plugin installed on a user's own website (not on sakurato.tech) does not set any cookies for site visitors. All portfolio data is stored in the WordPress database — not in browser cookies. The plugin contains no tracking or analytics code.
4. Third-Party Cookies
When purchasing the Premium plugin via checkout.freemius.com, you leave sakurato.tech and visit the Freemius platform. Freemius may set its own cookies to handle payment processing and purchase session management. Their cookie and privacy policy can be found at freemius.com/privacy.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Instructions for popular browsers:
Please note that disabling technically necessary cookies may affect site functionality — in particular, it may prevent logging into the WordPress admin panel.
6. Why There Is No Cookie Banner
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR guidance, cookies that are strictly necessary for a website to function do not require user consent or a cookie banner. Since sakurato.tech uses only technical and functional cookies necessary for site operation, no cookie consent banner is required.
If analytics or marketing cookies are introduced in the future, this Policy will be updated and a consent mechanism will be implemented.
7. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this Cookie Policy. We will notify you of changes by updating the date at the top of this page.
