Essential Cookies
Used to keep your session (livealbum_session), remember your language (NEXT_LOCALE), provide security (CSRF token), and remember the consent state (la_consent). Disabling them breaks core functionality; this category does not require opt-in.
Functional Cookies
Convenience values such as interface preferences, the last drawer/lightbox state, and invite-page bookmarks — stored in cookies and LocalStorage. If disabled, your preferences reset on every visit.
Analytics Cookies
Anonymous measurement of which pages are visited and where users drop off. Default OFF — only loaded if you opt in to the 'Analytics' category in the consent banner. Withdrawing consent stops new data collection; to request deletion of existing anonymous aggregates, write to [email protected].
Marketing Cookies
Meta Pixel and TikTok Pixel for ad-campaign measurement and retargeting. Default OFF — only loaded if you opt in to the 'Marketing' category. Withdrawing consent stops these cookies; you can also delete them at browser level.
Third-Party Cookies
During payment the Stripe secure checkout component uses its own cookies, scoped to the Stripe domain only. Social-media share buttons may load additional cookies if you opt in.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in two ways: (a) the 'Manage cookie preferences' link at the bottom of the page lets you grant or revoke consent by category on LiveAlbum; (b) your browser's privacy settings let you clear all cookies or block specific categories. Browser-level blocking will also affect essential cookies and may break some features. Your consent has a 12-month lifetime; after that the banner reappears.
