1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is visited. Websites may also use similar technologies, including local storage, session storage and software development kits, to remember information or provide features.
2. How VELT uses these technologies
VELT may use essential technologies to:
- Maintain secure sessions.
- Authenticate users.
- Protect accounts and prevent misuse.
- Remember cookie choices.
- Store settings required for requested platform features.
- Support payments and other user-requested actions.
With consent, VELT may use non-essential analytics technologies to understand platform usage and improve the service.
3. Your choices
Non-essential technologies will not be used before consent is provided.
Users can accept all, reject non-essential technologies or select individual categories.
Cookie preferences can be changed at any time through the link in the website footer, or here: .
4. Strictly necessary technologies
These technologies are required to operate VELT, keep accounts secure and deliver actions you request. They operate without consent, as permitted by law.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration | Party |

pendingVELTSubmission:* (local and session storage) | VELT | Temporarily retains onboarding details so a submission is not lost if a network request fails. | Strictly necessary | Until cleared (session storage: until the tab is closed) | First party |

Stripe cookies and storage (checkout pages only) | Stripe | Set by Stripe's embedded checkout when you choose to pay, in order to process the payment and prevent fraud. | Strictly necessary | Set by provider | Third party |
5. Non-essential technologies
These technologies are only used after you opt in through the cookie-preferences panel, and the associated first-party storage is removed if you later withdraw consent.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
velt.session.hash (session storage) | VELT | Random per-visit identifier used only to avoid counting the same profile view or link click more than once in a profile owner's statistics. Created only after you consent to analytics. | Analytics (consent required) | Until the browser tab is closed | First party |
VELT does not use marketing, advertising, remarketing or session-recording technologies, and does not use a third-party analytics platform.
6. Third-party technologies
Stripe processes payments and may set its own cookies or storage on the pages where its embedded checkout is displayed. Durations for those items are set by Stripe and are described in Stripe's own cookie information.
Contact-form submissions are processed by Formspree through a direct request from your browser. Our implementation does not embed a Formspree script or widget, so it does not place Formspree cookies or comparable storage on VELT pages.
Where a duration is controlled externally and cannot be verified from our own code, the table above states “Set by provider”.
