Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 18, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information about your preferences and activity. They help websites remember your settings and provide a better experience on subsequent visits.
In addition to traditional cookies, websites may also use browser localStorage and sessionStorage to store data locally on your device. These technologies serve similar purposes but differ in how long data is retained and how it is accessed.
This policy covers all client-side storage technologies used by VeraCita, including cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage.
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential (Always Active)
These items are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. They cannot be disabled. We use localStorage (not traditional cookies) for essential preferences:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
vc_cookie_consent |
localStorage | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask you repeatedly | No automatic expiry; cleared when you clear browser data |
vc_industry |
localStorage | Stores your selected industry view (e.g., finance, legal, academic) to personalize the interface | No automatic expiry; cleared when you clear browser data |
These items do not collect personal data and are not shared with any third party. They exist solely on your device to remember your preferences.
2.2 Analytics (Optional)
Analytics storage is activated only if you explicitly consent via our cookie banner. We use analytics to understand how visitors navigate the site, which features are most used, and where users experience issues. This helps us improve the Service.
| Provider | Purpose | Data Collected | Personal Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plausible Analytics | Privacy-focused website analytics | Page views, referrer, browser type, country (approximate) | None — Plausible is cookieless and does not collect personal data or IP addresses |
| Google Analytics (if configured) | Website analytics | Page views, session duration, user interactions, device information | Anonymized IP; no personally identifiable information |
You can opt in or out of analytics at any time using the cookie settings in the footer of our website. Your preference is stored in the vc_cookie_consent localStorage item.
2.3 Marketing Cookies
We do not use any marketing cookies, advertising trackers, or retargeting pixels. VeraCita does not sell, share, or monetize your browsing data. We do not participate in any advertising networks or data exchanges.
2.4 Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services we use may set their own cookies when you interact with their features:
- Stripe: May set cookies during the payment process for fraud prevention and session management. These are strictly functional and are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
- Supabase: May set session cookies for authentication purposes when you log in to your account.
- Google Fonts: Loaded from Google's CDN. Google may log standard web request data (IP address) but does not set tracking cookies through font delivery.
3. How to Manage Your Preferences
You have full control over cookies and local storage on our website:
3.1 Cookie Banner
When you first visit VeraCita, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can choose to accept only essential storage or also enable analytics. Your choice is saved and the banner will not appear again unless you clear your browser data or change your preferences.
3.2 Cookie Settings
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the website footer. This reopens the consent dialog where you can update your choices.
3.3 Browser Controls
You can also manage cookies and local storage through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
To clear localStorage specifically, you can use your browser's developer tools (usually accessible via F12) and navigate to the Application or Storage tab.
Please note that disabling essential storage items may prevent certain website features from working correctly, such as remembering your industry preference.
4. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our use of cookies and storage technologies evolves. When changes are made, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through the cookie consent banner or website notification.
