Cookie Policy
Last updated: 19 April 2026
This cookie policy explains how VeriDraw uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our Service.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your login status and preferences. Some cookies are essential for the website to function; others help us understand how visitors use the site.
2. Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be disabled. They are set automatically and do not require your consent under UK cookie regulations.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Maintains your authenticated session so you remain logged in across pages | Session / 1 week |
| vd_consent | Stores your cookie consent choice so the cookie banner does not reappear on every visit | 1 year |
| vd_demo | Identifies a demo signup session so the correct account type is created on first login | Session |
3. Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are visited most, where visitors come from, and how long they spend on the site. This data is aggregated and anonymised; it does not identify you personally. IP addresses are anonymised before being sent to Google. Analytics cookies are only set if you give your consent via our cookie banner.
If you decline analytics cookies, we will not set them and you will still have full access to the Service.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics — stores and counts page views for this specific property | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics — distinguishes users (shorter-lived companion to _ga) | 24 hours |
4. Third-party cookies
We do not allow third-party advertising cookies on our website. Our payment processor (Stripe) may set its own cookies when you interact with payment forms. Stripe’s cookie usage is governed by Stripe’s own privacy and cookie policies.
5. Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly.
You can withdraw your consent for analytics cookies at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site — the cookie banner will appear again.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
