What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as
localStorage, let a site keep small pieces of data on your device. This policy explains
which of these Vavy Works uses on vavyworks.com and in the
apps and services we publish, and how you can control them. It supplements our
Privacy Policy.
On vavyworks.com
This website sets no cookies. It has no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts. Two things are worth knowing:
| Item | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
vw-theme | localStorage, first party | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. Only created if you press the theme button. It stays on your device and is never sent to us. | Until you clear it |
| Google Fonts | Third-party request | Your browser downloads the Plus Jakarta Sans typeface from Google’s servers, which receive your IP address and browser details. Google states that the Fonts API does not set cookies. See the Google Fonts privacy FAQ. | No cookie |
In our apps and services
Our apps use cookies and similar technologies only where they are needed to make the app work, remember your settings, keep your account secure and take payments. The table below describes the categories. Exact cookie names can differ between apps.
| Category | Examples | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, authentication and CSRF cookies | Keep you signed in, protect forms against cross-site request forgery, and route requests to the right servers. | Session, up to 30 days if you stay signed in |
| Preferences | Theme, language, dismissed notices | Remember choices you make in the app. | Up to 1 year |
| Payments and fraud prevention | __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid (set by Stripe) | Set by Stripe on pages where you pay, to process the payment and detect fraud. See Stripe’s cookie policy. | 1 year and 30 minutes |
| Sign in with Google | Cookies on Google’s own domains | Set by Google when you use Google Sign-In, under Google’s cookie policy. | Set by Google |
All of these are strictly necessary for a feature you have asked for, so they do not require consent under EU and UK law. We use no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Analytics
We do not currently use analytics cookies. If we introduce analytics in the future, we will update this policy first, prefer privacy-friendly tools that do not set cookies, and ask for your consent wherever the law requires it before any non-essential cookie is set.
Controlling cookies
You can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop sign-in and payments from working. Help for common browsers:
Changes and contact
We will update this policy when the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. Questions go to hello@vavyworks.com.
