4. Retention periods

  • User account: retained as long as the account is active. Deleted within 30 days of your account closure request.
  • Orders and invoices: 7 years in accordance with Belgian accounting legislation.
  • Local browsing data: stored on your device; deleted by clearing your browser cache.
  • Server logs: retained for a maximum of 90 days for security purposes.

5. Cookies and local storage

Tikkoun uses no advertising cookies or third-party tracking tools. The Comfortaa font is self-hosted — no request is sent to Google Fonts. The site uses only:

  • localStorage: saving readings, display preferences (Sunny/Moony mode), cart contents, acknowledgement of the cookie notice (tik_cookie_notice_v1).
  • IndexedDB: storage of generated birth chart PDFs, kept locally on your device.
  • Supabase session cookie: maintaining your login (strictly necessary cookie, session duration).
  • Stripe cookies: during a transaction, Stripe places strictly necessary cookies for payment security (fraud protection, PCI DSS compliance). These cookies are only activated on payment pages.

These mechanisms are exclusively functional (legal basis: legitimate interest and contract performance) and transmit no data to advertising networks.
