Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the service.
This policy explains exactly which cookies Vensider.io uses, why we use them, and how long they persist. We keep this short because we genuinely use very few.
2. Cookies we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| _app_session | Essential | Keeps you signed in between page loads. Required for the app to function. | 8 hours |
| vr_session | Analytics | Anonymous identifier used to count unique visits and measure traffic. Contains no personal data. | 1 year |
| _ga, _ga_* | Analytics | Set by Google Analytics to measure traffic on our public pages. Only set after you accept analytics cookies, and never on the signed-in app. | Up to 2 years |
| _dev_session | Dev only | Development-only demo session cookie. Not set in production. | Session |
Minimal by design.
We use Google Analytics on our public pages to measure traffic — and only after you accept analytics cookies. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels, do not build user profiles for advertising purposes, and never sell cookie data.
3. Third-party cookies
Our payment provider Stripe sets cookies during the checkout flow for fraud prevention and session continuity. These are only active on Stripe-hosted checkout pages. Stripe's cookie policy: stripe.com/legal/cookie-settings.
4. Local storage
We use browser localStorage to store lightweight UI preferences (such as whether the admin sidebar is collapsed). This data is stored entirely in your browser, never transmitted to our servers, and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
5. Managing and deleting cookies
Essential authentication cookies are required for the service to function — disabling them means you cannot stay logged in. Analytics cookies are optional: on your first visit we show a consent banner with two categories — Necessary (always on) and Analytics — and Google Analytics only runs if you allow it. You can change your choice at any time via the Cookie settings link in the footer. We keep a dated record of each consent decision for compliance purposes.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings:
