What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. “Similar technologies” include local storage, pixels, and SDK identifiers. We use the term “cookies” throughout this Policy to mean all of them.
Categories we use
- Essential — Required for the site to function — session, security, and consent. These cannot be disabled because the site will not work without them.
- Analytics — Privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics (no cross-site tracking, no ad profiling). We use these to understand which pages help operators and crew make decisions.
- Preference — Remember your in-session choices (e.g. you have already accepted the consent banner).
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
velari.session | Auth + CSRF | Essential | 24 hours |
velari.consent | Cookie consent state | Essential | 6 months |
velari.csrf | Form security token | Essential | Session |
velari.analytics | Aggregate page analytics | Analytics | 6 months |
velari.exp | A/B experiment bucket | Preference | 90 days |
Third-party cookies
We do not run third-party advertising, social, or cross-site tracking cookies. The only third-party scripts on the marketing site are our analytics provider (Plausible — privacy-respecting, no cookies on our deployment) and our error reporter (Sentry — limited to error context, no marketing tracking).
Your choices
- Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Doing so for the Essential category will break login and form submission.
- You can revisit your consent choices at any time from the consent banner footer link.
- If you set <code class="font-mono text-[13px] text-velari-navy">velari.consent</code> to <strong class="text-velari-navy">Essential Only</strong>, the analytics and preference cookies above are not set.
Changes
We may update this Policy as our use of cookies evolves. Material changes will be announced via the consent banner. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
