1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. They can keep a session secure, remember settings, measure performance, and help a site understand how it is used.
2. How VaporDrive uses cookies
We use the minimum technologies needed to provide and protect the Services. Optional cookies are used only after you choose “Accept all” in the consent banner. Choosing “Necessary only” does not affect essential account functionality.
3. Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Authentication, security, session continuity, load balancing, fraud prevention, and saving your cookie preference. | Yes |
| Preferences | Remember optional interface choices that are not required for the requested service. | No |

4. Cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
vapordrive_cookie_consent | Stores whether you selected all cookies or necessary cookies only. | 180 days |
| Session and security cookies | Maintain an authenticated session, prevent request forgery, and protect account access. | Session or limited persistent period |
Specific cookie names may vary as security and platform components evolve. We will update this policy when our use changes materially.
5. Managing your choice
You can reopen the consent banner at any time by selecting “Cookie settings” in the footer. You can also delete or block cookies using your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent sign-in, checkout, security controls, or other core features from working.
6. Third-party services
Some functions, such as payment processing, may open or embed services operated by other organizations. Those services may set their own cookies under their policies. VaporDrive does not allow optional third-party analytics cookies to load before consent where consent is required.
7. Do Not Track and privacy signals
Browser signals are not interpreted consistently across the industry. Where required and technically supported, we honor applicable legally recognized opt-out signals. You can always use our cookie controls to select necessary cookies only.
8. Updates and contact
We may update this policy when technologies, laws, or our practices change. Questions can be sent to privacy@vapordrive.net.
