This policy explains how Maeve Social by LILY DIA PTY LTD (ABN 72 676 064 181) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, what types we use, and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site recognize your device and store information about your preferences or past actions.
We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which perform comparable functions. References to "cookies" in this policy include these related technologies.
How We Use Cookies
- Essential. Required for core functionality such as page navigation, secure area access, and maintaining your authenticated session. The service cannot function properly without these.
- Analytics. Help us understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve navigation, features, and overall experience. We use PostHog for product analytics; data is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
- Preference. Remember your settings such as language, region, and display preferences so you do not have to re-enter them each visit.
- Authentication. Maintain your login session and recognize you as a returning user so you stay signed in across pages and visits.
Types of Cookies
- Session. Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. Used to maintain state during your visit.
- Persistent. Remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Used for preferences and returning-user recognition.
- First-party. Set directly by Maeve to support core functionality and preferences.
- Third-party. Placed by our service providers and integrations (for example, Stripe for payments, PostHog for analytics, and connected social platforms during OAuth flows). These providers maintain their own cookie and privacy policies.
Third-Party Services
The following third-party services may set cookies or process technical request metadata when you use our site and platform. Each maintains its own cookie and privacy policy:

Payment processing and subscription management. Stripe may set cookies to detect fraud and process payments securely.

Vercel

Social media platform APIs
When you connect social accounts (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, X/Twitter), the OAuth flow may set cookies on the respective platform domains.
Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through several methods:
Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions.
Third-party opt-out
Many analytics services offer opt-out mechanisms. For example, you can opt out of Google Analytics via the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
Note that disabling essential cookies may cause parts of our service to stop functioning correctly or become unavailable.
