Cookie Policy
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include browser localStorage and sessionStorage. Together they let a site keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and stay secure.
How we use cookies and storage
Paced uses only a minimal set of strictly necessary and functional cookies and browser storage. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, third-party analytics, or marketing technologies, and we do not build advertising profiles.

Your choices
The cookies and storage we use are strictly necessary or functional. You can manage or clear cookies and site data through your browser settings, but disabling the strictly necessary ones will prevent you from signing in and using Paced. Payment cookies are only involved if you choose to buy or manage a subscription.
