Cookies

Painted Lake sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising trackers, so there is nothing to consent to here.

What stays on your device

The studio keeps the lake's shoreline and its depth survey in this tab's session storage while you work, so a trip to checkout and back doesn't lose them; they're gone when you close the tab. Your choices, your pin's place on the sheet among them, live in the page's address so a link reopens them.

Who else your browser talks to

To draw a lake, the studio asks public services for data: Nominatim to find the lake, Overpass (at overpass-api.de, or its mirror at maps.mail.ru) for the shoreline, and Amazon's open terrain tiles for the hills in the shaded styles. Like any web request, each sees your IP address and browser; none of them can set a cookie on this site, and we send them nothing about you or your order. Our fonts, pictures and scripts all come from this site, never from a font or analytics service.

If this ever changes

If we add a cookie or a tracker, this page will say so first, with a new date at the top, and you'll be asked before anything that isn't strictly needed is set.

At checkout

Stripe's checkout page, on Stripe's own domain, sets cookies it needs to take the payment safely and prevent fraud. Its cookie settings explain them.
