Cookie Policy
The cookies and browser storage Pinevon uses, and why none of them is for advertising.
Version 0.2-draft · No effective date set yet · All legal documents
Draft — pending legal review. This document is a complete working draft prepared by the Pinevon team. It has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer and no effective date has been set. It describes how the service is actually built and operated today; bracket-free wording is deliberate, but jurisdiction-specific terms must be confirmed by qualified counsel before it is relied on.

4. Your choices
Because we only set essential and functional storage we do not show a consent banner.
