Cookie notice

In short
- Pigeon Invites only stores what it needs to work, or what remembers a choice you made: being signed in, your language, your music setting.

3. Other companies
- Payment pages are run by Stripe, which uses its own cookies there to take payments safely and prevent fraud.
- Google Maps and Google Calendar only open if you tap “Directions” or add an event to Google Calendar. Google’s own cookies then apply.
- Fonts are served from our own servers, so viewing Pigeon Invites doesn’t contact font services.

You can delete cookies and site data in your browser’s settings at any time. Deleting the sign-in cookies signs you out. If we ever add cookies that aren’t needed for Pigeon Invites to work, we’ll ask you first. More about your data: Privacy Policy.
