Cookies

Why there is no banner

A cookie banner asks for your permission to use cookies that are optional, such as the ones advertisers and analytics services use to follow you around the web. VRAISOI has no advertising, no analytics and no third-party cookies at all. Every cookie below is set by vraisoi.com itself, for something you asked it to do: stay logged in, finish signing up, reset a password or remember the look you chose.

The cookies

vraisoi_session

Keeps you logged in. It holds a short-lived token from our login provider. Lasts: About an hour, renewed while you use VRAISOI.

vraisoi_session_refresh

Renews the one above, so you are not asked to log in every hour. Lasts: 30 days, or until you log out.

vraisoi_session_pending

Remembers which address a sign-up code was sent to, without showing it in the address bar. Lasts: 30 minutes.

vraisoi_session_recovery

Lets you choose a new password after following a reset link. Lasts: 15 minutes.

vraisoi_theme

Whether you chose the light or the dark look, so the page opens in it. Lasts: A year.

What is kept in your browser

A few small things are kept in your browser’s own storage rather than in a cookie. They never leave your device.

vraisoi.chapters.visitor

Which pages of Chapters you have read while looking around without an account.

vraisoi.discover.heard

Whether you folded away the note on Discover about what it heard.

A message you are writing to us

Kept for this tab only, so a half-written message survives a closed popup. It is gone when the tab closes.

Turning them off

You can block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings. VRAISOI will still open, but you will not be able to stay logged in, and the look will go back to light.

If this changes

If VRAISOI ever adds a cookie that is not needed for it to work, this page will name it first, and you will be asked before it is set. Questions go to privacy@vraisoi.com, and the rest of what we do with your information is in the privacy policy.
