Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 25, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how VelarisConnect LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on our website velarisconnect.com. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, work more efficiently, and provide information to website owners.

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies".

2. Cookies We Use

We keep our cookie use minimal. Below is a summary of the cookies present on our site:

Cookie Name Type Purpose Expires
vc_cookie_consent Essential Stores your cookie consent preference so the banner is not shown on every page visit. 1 year
PHPSESSID Essential Standard PHP session cookie. Used for form processing (contact form CSRF protection). Does not track you across sessions. Session
__stripe_* Functional Set by Stripe on checkout pages for fraud prevention and to identify your browser across visits. Required for payment processing. See Stripe Cookie Settings. Varies

We do not use advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar).

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include:

  • Your cookie consent preference (so we don't show the banner on every visit)
  • Session management for form processing
  • Security cookies required to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF)

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable laws.

4. Third-Party Cookies (Stripe)

When you proceed to checkout, you are redirected to Stripe's hosted payment page. Stripe may set cookies on your device as part of their fraud prevention and payment security systems. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy and Cookie Settings.

We have no control over Stripe's cookie practices, but we only redirect to Stripe when you actively initiate a checkout. No Stripe cookies are set during normal browsing of our website.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

  • Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings. The exact method varies by browser:
  • Cookie consent banner: When you first visit our site, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the consent banner at the bottom of the page.
  • Withdraw consent: You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing our site cookies in your browser. The consent banner will reappear on your next visit.

Note: disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our contact form and checkout process.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our cookie practices. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always indicate when the policy was last revised.
