Cookie Policy

Effective date: 2 August 2026 Last updated: 10 August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how VibeCheck Innovations LLP ("VibeCheck", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar storage technologies on the VibeCheck website at passvibecheck.com and our mobile applications (the "Platform").

It forms part of our [Privacy Policy], which explains more fully how we handle personal data.


1. The short version

We use one analytics cookie, and only if you accept it.

Everything the Platform itself needs — keeping you signed in, remembering your theme, and recording your analytics choice — is kept in your browser's local storage, not in cookies. Local storage does the same job as a cookie but is never transmitted with your requests to us or to anyone else.

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics sets cookies to recognise your browser between visits. If you decline, or make no choice at all, it stores nothing. This is enforced technically, not just as a policy — see Section 5.

A small number of further cookies may be set by the services we rely on: our security and delivery network, our payment gateway when you pay, and Google when you sign in. Those are listed in Section 4.

2. What cookies and local storage are

  • A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. It is sent back to that website with every subsequent request.
  • Local storage is a space in your browser where a website can keep information on your device. Unlike a cookie, it is not attached to network requests — it is read only by the code running in your browser.

Both are "similar technologies" for the purposes of privacy law, so this Policy covers both.

3. What VibeCheck stores on your device

All of the following is stored in your browser's local storage by the Platform itself. None of it is a cookie, and none of it is sent to any third party.

WhatKeyPurposeCategoryKept until
Sign-in sessionManaged by our authentication providerKeeps you signed in between visits, so you are not asked to authenticate on every pageStrictly necessaryYou sign out, or the session expires
Analytics choicevibecheck_cookie_consentRecords whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we do not ask again and so the analytics gate can honour your answerStrictly necessaryYou clear it, or change your choice
Theme preferencevc-themeRemembers whether you chose the light or dark appearanceFunctionalYou clear it

Strictly necessary items cannot be switched off — the Platform cannot function without them. They do not track you across other websites, and they are not used for advertising.

4. Third-party cookies

We do not control these, and we do not use them for advertising. They are set by services we use to run the Platform.

ProviderWhen it appliesPurpose
CloudflareEvery visitSecurity and delivery. Cloudflare hosts and protects the Platform and may set cookies such as __cf_bm to distinguish real users from automated traffic, and to mitigate attacks. These are strictly necessary for security
RazorpayOnly when you make a paymentOur payment gateway loads its checkout only at the moment you pay — not on every page — and may set cookies needed to process that payment securely and prevent fraud
Google AnalyticsOnly if you accept analyticsMeasures how the Platform is used. Sets cookies (_ga, _ga_*) that hold a randomly generated identifier so returning visits can be recognised as the same browser. Held in Google's Consent Mode "denied" state until you accept, in which state it stores nothing
Google Sign-InOnly when you sign inSigning in sends you to Google's own sign-in page. Google sets its own cookies on its own domains, governed by Google's privacy policy, not this one

Because our payment gateway is loaded only at the point of payment, browsing VibeCheck does not load it and does not involve its cookies at all.

5. Analytics

We record a small, fixed set of product events — for example that the app was opened, an event was viewed, or a booking was made — to understand which features people use.

Analytics runs only if you accept it. If you decline, or make no choice at all, no analytics events are collected. This is enforced in the application itself: the analytics function checks your recorded choice and does nothing without it.

We use Google Analytics 4 (property G-04HXEK4VLE) for this. Points that are accurate as at the date above:

  • The tag is present on every page but starts in Google's Consent Mode denied state. Until you accept, it sets no cookies and creates no identifier for you. Accepting is what changes that; declining leaves it denied.
  • Advertising features are off and stay off. ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization are set to denied unconditionally — not merely left at a default — so this data is not used for advertising, remarketing or audience building.
  • Google processes this data as our processor and may store it on servers outside India. See Google's own privacy policy.
  • We do not use Meta Pixel or any other third-party analytics or advertising service, and there is no cross-site tracking technology on the Platform.

We changed this on 10 August 2026. Before that date no third-party analytics ran on the Platform at all, and no analytics data left it. If we adopt a further analytics provider, we will update this Policy and ask for your consent before it operates.

6. What we do not do

To be explicit, the Platform does not:

  • serve advertising, or set advertising cookies;
  • track you across other websites or apps;
  • build advertising profiles, or sell your data to data brokers;
  • use fingerprinting, session-replay or heat-mapping tools.

7. Your choices

Your analytics choice. You are asked on your first visit. You can change it at any time from the cookie settings in the app. Declining does not restrict any feature of the Platform — everything works exactly the same.

Your browser. You can clear or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings, and clear data for a single site. Note that clearing storage for VibeCheck will sign you out and reset your theme and your analytics choice, because those are the things stored there.

Do Not Track. Browsers send this signal inconsistently and there is no agreed standard for honouring it. We do not rely on it. Your recorded analytics choice is what governs, and we honour that.

8. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy as the Platform changes. Material changes will be notified through the Platform and the "Last updated" date above will change. Where a change requires your consent, we will ask for it.
