Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Vedion ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our platform. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand usage patterns, and improve your experience. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage in your browser.

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.

• Authentication Tokens: JWT access and refresh tokens stored in encrypted local storage to keep you logged in.
• Session State: Temporary data to maintain your session across page navigations.
• Security Tokens: CSRF protection tokens for form submissions.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences and settings to provide a personalized experience.

• Theme Preference: Your selected display theme (dark/light mode).
• Language/Locale: Your preferred language and regional settings.
• Dashboard Layout: Your customized dashboard view preferences.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics tools to understand how users interact with the Platform. These cookies collect anonymized, aggregate data and do not identify you personally.

• Page views and navigation patterns.
• Feature usage frequency.
• Performance metrics (page load times, error rates).

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services we integrate with may set their own cookies:

• Stripe: For secure payment processing and fraud prevention.
• Google Identity Services: For Google SSO authentication.
• Microsoft MSAL: For Microsoft SSO authentication.

These cookies are governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies.

4. How to Manage Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View and delete existing cookies.
• Block cookies from specific or all websites.
• Set preferences for first-party vs. third-party cookies.
• Enable "Do Not Track" signals.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly. You may not be able to log in or access certain features.

5. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to securely store authentication tokens and user preferences. Local storage data persists until explicitly cleared by you or by our application (e.g., on logout). The data stored includes:

• Encrypted JWT tokens for authentication.
• UI state preferences (sidebar collapsed, selected filters, etc.).
• Cached non-sensitive data for performance optimization.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
