1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that can be placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website work properly, remember choices, improve performance, understand how visitors use the site, or support marketing and analytics.
Similar technologies may also be used to store or access information on your device. This can include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, device identifiers and analytics tools.
In this policy, when we refer to “cookies”, we also mean similar technologies where relevant.
2. Who we are
Ultimate Pomodoro is a productivity and wellbeing-support timer designed to help people structure screen-heavy workdays around focus, hydration, movement and learning.
“Ultimate Pomodoro”, “we”, “us” and “our” refers to [insert legal entity or trading name]. Our contact email is hello@ultimatepomodorotimer.com.
3. Types of cookies we may use
The exact cookies used may change as the website, app, account system, analytics setup, forms and company licence features develop. The main types are likely to include:
| Cookie type |
Purpose |
Consent position |
| Strictly necessary cookies |
Help the website, forms, security, account login or app features work properly. |
Usually do not require consent where essential to provide a requested service. |
| Preference cookies |
Remember choices such as cookie settings, theme preferences, saved timer settings or display choices. |
May require consent depending on whether they are essential or optional. |
| Analytics cookies |
Help us understand how visitors use the site and app, which pages are useful, and where improvements are needed. |
Usually require consent before being set. |
| Marketing cookies |
Could support advertising, retargeting, campaign measurement or audience insights if used later. |
Require consent before being set. |
| Third-party cookies |
May be set by tools used for analytics, embedded content, form handling, payment, authentication or hosting. |
Depends on the purpose. Non-essential third-party cookies usually require consent. |
4. Cookies and tools we may currently use
The final cookie list should be confirmed after the website has been launched and audited. At this stage, Ultimate Pomodoro may use or introduce tools for:
- ✓
Website operation:
to make pages, navigation, forms and embedded content work.
- ✓
App hosting:
to load the live Ultimate Pomodoro timer and related files.
- ✓
Contact forms:
to send enquiries, manage spam protection and route messages.
- ✓
Analytics:
to understand visits, page performance and user behaviour if analytics are added.
- ✓
Future accounts:
to support login, saved preferences, subscriptions and company licence access if introduced.
- ✓
Future payments:
to support subscriptions, invoicing or payment processing if paid plans are introduced.
Before launch, the website should be checked using the browser developer tools or a cookie scanner so this policy can list the actual cookies being set.
5. The live timer and local storage
The Ultimate Pomodoro timer may use browser storage to remember settings such as focus duration, water reminders, movement prompts, Learn Sprint settings or user preferences.
Browser storage may include local storage or session storage. These technologies are not always cookies, but they can still store information on your device.
If saved settings, user accounts or company access features are introduced later, this policy should be updated to explain exactly what is stored and why.
6. Embedded content and third-party services
Some parts of the website may rely on third-party services. This may include hosting providers, form tools, analytics tools, payment providers, authentication providers or embedded app content.
These providers may set their own cookies or similar technologies. Their use of cookies may be governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
We should update this section once the final tools are confirmed, including Wocode, Vercel, analytics, forms, payment tools and any account login provider.
7. Cookie consent
We will not knowingly set non-essential cookies unless we have an appropriate consent mechanism in place where required.
Where non-essential cookies are used, such as analytics or marketing cookies, users should be given a clear choice to accept or reject them. Users should also be able to change their preferences later.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are essential to provide a service that you have requested, such as security, form submission, login, session management or essential app functionality.
8. How to control cookies
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to block cookies, delete cookies, reject third-party cookies, clear cookies when you close the browser, or browse in a private mode.
Blocking some cookies may affect how the website, contact forms, account login, saved settings or timer features work.
If we introduce a cookie banner or preference centre, you will be able to use it to manage optional cookie choices for this website.
