1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how VIESAC ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our service. We operate VIESAC through Comet Group OÜ. For general data protection, see our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. We also use similar technologies such as local storage where appropriate (e.g. to remember your consent choice).

3. Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website and service to function. They cannot be disabled.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
viesac-session	Identifies your session for authentication, login state, and server-side session data (stored in our database).	2 hours (configurable)
XSRF-TOKEN	Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection. Used to verify that form submissions originate from our site.	Same as session

The session cookie name may differ (e.g. laravel-session) depending on configuration.

3.2 Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your choices to improve your experience.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
viesac_locale	Stores your language preference (e.g. English, German, French).	1 year

3.3 Consent Storage (Local Storage)

We store your cookie consent choice in the browser's local storage (not a cookie, but similar technology). This lets us remember whether you chose "Accept all" or "Essential only" so we do not show the consent banner again.

gdpr_consent — Stores all or essential. Used to honour your choice and control optional cookies if we add them.

3.4 Third-Party Cookies

Stripe

When you subscribe or upgrade via our payment flow, you are redirected to Stripe Checkout (checkout.stripe.com). Stripe may set its own cookies on its domain for payment processing, fraud prevention, and compliance. We do not control these cookies. Stripe's privacy policy: stripe.com/privacy.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-286FY4PR4D) to understand how visitors use our site: page views, traffic sources, and general usage patterns. This helps us improve the service. Google Analytics sets cookies on our domain. Data may be processed by Google in the United States. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

Cookie	Purpose	Duration
_ga	Distinguishes unique users for traffic and usage analytics.	2 years
_ga_*	Persists session state (GA4). Used for analytics.	2 years
_gid	Distinguishes users for analytics.	24 hours

You can opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, or to delete specific cookies. Blocking essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using parts of the service.

Useful links:

To clear your consent choice and see our cookie banner again, clear local storage for our site (or delete the gdpr_consent key in your browser's developer tools).

5. Legal Basis and Your Rights

We use essential cookies on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functional service. Preference and consent cookies are used with your consent. Google Analytics and other analytics cookies are used with your consent. You have the right to withdraw consent, access, rectify, erase, and restrict processing of your data under GDPR. See section 7 below for how to contact us for data subject requests.

6. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest version. Continued use of our site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
