Cookie Policy
This page lists every cookie and storage entry Vectorize.tools uses, what each one is for, and how long it lasts.
What we use
Vectorize.tools sets up to two small cookies and a few entries in your browser's storage. None of them identify you, and we use no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Our analytics (Plausible) set no cookies at all.
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| vt_consent (cookie) and vt-consent (local storage) | Essential | Records the choice you make in the cookie notice, so we do not ask again. | 180 days |
| sk_nl (cookie) | Essential | Set after you sign up for updates: a scrambled fingerprint of the address (never the address), so the form does not ask again and abuse can be limited. | 180 days |
| sk-nl:done, sk-nl:tries (local storage) | Essential | Remembers that this browser signed up, and slows down repeated signup attempts. | 180 days, or a day for an unconfirmed signup |
| vt-ai-dismissed (session storage) | Essential | Remembers that you closed the note about the upcoming AI cleanup, in this tab only. | Until the tab closes |
| Service worker cache | Essential | Keeps the page and the tracing engine on your device for fast and offline use. | Until you clear site data |
| vt-theme (local storage) | Functional | Remembers whether you picked the light or the dark theme. | Until you change it |
| vt-lang, vt-lang-dismissed (local storage) | Functional | Remembers the language you picked, and a language suggestion you dismissed. | Until you change it |
| plausible_ignore (local storage) | Analytics | Set when you turn Analytics off, so your visits are not counted. | Until you turn Analytics back on |
Analytics
Plausible counts page views and a few coarse tool events without cookies. You can still switch it off: turn Analytics off in the cookie preferences and your visits are not counted.
How to control cookies
The cookie notice shown on your first visit lets you accept or decline the non-essential categories. If you leave the notice unanswered it closes itself after about twenty seconds and records what is already running: Essential on, Functional off, Analytics on. Nothing new starts at that moment, and Your privacy choices in the footer of every page reopens your preferences at any time. You can also clear this site's data in your browser settings; the tool keeps working, it just downloads the engine again.
