Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Viewari uses cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies. We believe in minimal, transparent data practices — our approach is to use only what is strictly necessary while respecting your privacy choices. This policy works alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Condition.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They act as a memory for the website, helping it recognize your device and remember your preferences, settings, and browsing activity across pages or return visits.
Cookies serve essential functions — from enabling basic website navigation to remembering your language preferences. They can be set by the website you visit (first-party cookies) or by third-party services embedded within the site (third-party cookies).
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixels. These technologies function similarly to cookies and are covered under this policy. You can manage them through your browser settings just like standard cookies.
How We Use Cookies
Viewari uses cookies and similar technologies for the following strictly limited purposes. We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking of any kind.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential / Strictly Necessary | Required for basic website functionality — session management, security, and core feature operation. Without these, the site cannot function properly. | Session / Up to 24 hours |
| Functional / Preference | Remember your preferences such as theme selection, tool settings, and UI customizations during your visit. | Session |
| Analytics / Performance | Collect anonymized, aggregated data about page visits, feature usage, and error rates. No individual browsing behavior is tracked. | Up to 30 days |
| Security | Detect and prevent fraudulent activity, DDoS attacks, and abuse of our services. These are critical for platform safety. | Session |
What we do NOT use: Marketing cookies, advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking widgets, cross-site tracking cookies, or any form of fingerprinting technology that identifies individual users across different websites.
Types of Cookies We Set
Below is a detailed breakdown of the specific cookies and storage items that Viewari may set during your visit. We keep this list as short as possible — transparency is fundamental to our privacy promise.
- session_token: A temporary identifier used to maintain your session state. No personal data is stored in this cookie. Duration: Session only. Type: Essential.
- preferences: Stores your UI preferences such as tool layout and theme choice during your visit. Duration: Session only. Type: Functional.
- analytics_id: An anonymized unique identifier for aggregated usage statistics. Cannot be linked to any individual. Duration: 30 days. Type: Analytics.
- csrf_token: A security token that prevents cross-site request forgery attacks. Duration: Session only. Type: Essential.
- rate_limit: Tracks request frequency to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage for all users. Duration: 1 minute. Type: Security.
This list may be updated occasionally as we optimize our services. We commit to never adding tracking, advertising, or profiling cookies without prominently notifying you and updating this policy.
Third-Party Services
Viewari integrates with a limited set of third-party services that may set their own cookies or similar technologies. These are carefully selected and audited for privacy compliance:
- Cloudflare: Used for content delivery, DDoS protection, and performance optimization. Cloudflare sets security-related cookies that are strictly necessary for infrastructure protection. Their Privacy Policy.
- Plausible Analytics: Our privacy-first analytics provider. Plausible does not use cookies by default and collects no personal data — all metrics are anonymized and aggregated. Their Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts: Used for typography. Google Fonts may log requests but does not set cookies for font delivery. Their Privacy Policy.
We do not integrate advertising networks, social media pixels, or third-party tracking scripts. Our tools are designed to be fully self-contained — when you use Viewari to view social media content, no data is sent to those platforms through our interface.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have full control over cookies. While essential cookies are required for our site to function, you can manage or disable other cookies through your browser settings. Here is how to adjust cookie preferences in major browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data. You can block third-party cookies, clear cookies on exit, or block all cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data. Choose from standard, strict, or custom privacy settings.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data. Choose to block all cookies or prevent cross-site tracking.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Important note: Disabling all cookies may prevent certain features of Viewari from functioning correctly, particularly tool preferences and session management. However, our core anonymous viewing tools will continue to work.
Cookie Consent & Your Choices
Upon your first visit to Viewari, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to make an informed choice about non-essential cookies. We respect your preferences and will only set analytics cookies if you explicitly consent.
Your options:
- Accept All: Enables essential, functional, and analytics cookies for the best possible experience.
- Customize: Choose which categories of cookies you wish to allow. Essential cookies are always active.
- Reject All: Only essential cookies will be set. The site will function but without analytics or personalization features.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of our website. Your consent is stored locally and can be withdrawn as easily as it was given.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, legal requirements, or operational practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
If we make significant changes — such as introducing new cookie types or changing how we process data — we will notify you via a prominent notice on our website or a cookie consent banner reset. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed.
