Cookies: just
the essentials.
VestaFide uses cookies to keep the platform running, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform is being used. We don't use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cross-site advertising networks. This page explains exactly what we set and why.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include local storage, session storage, and similar technologies. We use cookies for three purposes only.
Essential Cookies
Strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They enable user authentication, session management, and security protections (CSRF prevention). You cannot opt out of essential cookies — the Platform cannot operate without them.
Functional Cookies
Remember your preferences and settings to provide a more personalized experience — your preferred dashboard view, timezone, or notification preferences. These make the platform feel familiar across sessions.
Performance & Analytics
Help us understand which pages are visited most frequently, where errors occur, and how features are used. This information improves Platform performance and UX. We do not use third-party advertising analytics platforms.
These are all the cookies VestaFide sets on your device.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Maintains your authenticated session after login | Essential | Session, or up to 30 days with "remember me" |
| csrf_token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Essential | Session |
| preferences | Stores your display preferences (timezone, dashboard layout) | Functional | 1 year |
| cookie_consent | Records your cookie consent preference so we don't ask again | Essential | 1 year |
Third-Party Cookies. We minimize the use of third-party cookies. Stripe (payment processing) may set cookies to prevent fraud and process transactions securely. See Stripe's Privacy Policy. We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or cross-site advertising networks.
Browser Settings. Most browsers let you control cookies through settings — you can refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies when your browser closes. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from using the Platform.
Cookie Consent. When you first visit the Platform, we will ask for your consent to set non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time through Platform settings or by clearing your cookies and revisiting.
Do Not Track. We respect DNT signals — when detected, we disable any non-essential analytics cookies.
Data Collected via Cookies. Information collected through cookies is governed by our Privacy Policy. Cookies do not give us access to your device or personal files. Data is limited to session management, preferences, and aggregate usage patterns.
Changes. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy with a new effective date.
