Cookies and storage
This website: no cookies, no analytics
prysly.com sets no cookies, of any kind. It has no analytics, advertising, social-media widgets or tracking pixels, and it loads nothing from other websites: no web fonts, no content delivery networks, no embedded videos. Because there is nothing to consent to, there is no cookie banner.
Your browser may remember pages you visited in its own history and cache, as it does for any website. That stays on your device and is under your control.
The Prysly extension
The extension sets no cookies and does not read your cookies; it does not have the browser's cookies permission. It uses the browser's extension storage (chrome.storage.local, kept on your device) for these items only:
| Key | What it holds | How long |
|---|---|---|
config |
The list of supported stores, as downloaded from the Prysly server: each store's name, web addresses, status and the rules for reading its product pages, plus the time it was downloaded. Nothing about you or the pages you view. | Refreshed when it is more than one hour old (or sooner, if the server says it is out of date) the next time you open a page on a supported store. Deleted when you remove the extension. |
pos:<store> (for example pos:takealot) |
Only if you move the Prysly pill (drag or click its handle): the store's name and a corner; never leaves your device. Nothing about you or the pages you view. | Until you move the pill again or remove the extension. |
cards |
The rewards cards you picked with "Pick your cards" in the Prysly card on a product page; never leaves your device. | Until you change your picks or remove the extension. |
standdown:<store> and ownclick:<store> |
The time Prysly stood down at a store (after you arrived through someone else's affiliate link), and the time of your last click on a Prysly store link, to tell that click from someone else's; never leaves your device. | Stand-down: 30 days. Last click: 2 minutes of effect, then ignored. Both are deleted when you remove the extension. |
The extension stores nothing else on your device: no browsing history, prices, product pages, other settings or identifiers. The price card only remembers the products you looked at while that page stays open.
Store websites
The stores Prysly works on, and their affiliate networks, set their own cookies when you visit them, including when you arrive through a link in the Prysly card. Those cookies are covered by each store's own cookie and privacy policy, not by this one. See our affiliate disclosure.
