Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how voyarank uses cookies and similar technologies on voyarank.tech. It supplements our Privacy Policy and should be read together with it.

What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. Cookies allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them on every visit. Similar technologies include browser local storage, which works comparably from a user-experience perspective even though it is not strictly a "cookie" under the technical definition. This policy covers both.

How We Use Cookies

We keep cookie use to a minimum. Currently, voyarank uses only essential cookies and one preference item stored in browser local storage. We do not use third-party analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or any tracking technology that would build a profile of you across websites.

Essential Cookies

The following cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Service. Without them, core functionality such as signing in and submitting forms would not work.

• Session cookie — keeps you signed in while you use the app. This cookie is set when you log in and removed when you log out or when the session expires. It does not contain personal information beyond the session identifier; the identifier is associated with your account on our server.
• CSRF token cookie — protects the forms in the app against cross-site request forgery attacks by ensuring that submissions originate from the application and not from another site impersonating it.

Preference Items

The following item is stored in your browser's local storage, not as a traditional cookie.

• voyarank-theme — stored in localStorage (not a cookie, strictly). Remembers whether you chose light mode or dark mode. This is preference data only, set on your device, never transmitted to our servers.

Third-Party Analytics

We do not currently use third-party analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or similar) on voyarank.tech. We do not currently use advertising cookies. If we choose to add any non-essential cookie or tracking technology in the future, we will update this policy, provide notice in advance, and — for users in jurisdictions that require it, including the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom — implement a cookie consent banner to obtain your consent before activating that technology.

Legal Basis

Essential cookies and items used to deliver the Service are placed without consent under the strictly-necessary exception applicable in most jurisdictions (including the EU ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3) where it incidentally applies to non-customer visitors). You cannot opt out of these without losing the ability to use the Service. The Service itself is not currently offered to users in the EEA, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom; see the Privacy Policy for geographic-availability details.

Preference items such as voyarank-theme that store user preferences set explicitly by you are likewise treated as strictly necessary to deliver the user interface you have requested.

For users in California and other US states, the use of essential cookies and preference items is governed by the disclosures in our Privacy Policy. Voyarank does not sell or share personal information through cookies or any other mechanism.

How to Refuse or Delete Cookies

Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. The specific steps depend on your browser; instructions are available in the help section of each major browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave, Opera).

You may also clear local storage from your browser settings. Doing so will reset the voyarank-theme preference, and you will need to choose light or dark mode again.

Note that refusing or deleting the essential cookies described above will break core functionality of the Service. The Service cannot operate without a session cookie to keep you signed in, or without a CSRF token to protect form submissions.

Changes to This Policy

We will update this Cookie Policy whenever we add, change, or remove a cookie or similar technology. For material changes (such as adding non-essential cookies), we will provide notice in advance. The "Effective" date at the top of this policy reflects the most recent revision.
