Cookie Policy — DREMONPRO

Cookies help us keep you logged in and understand how people use DREMONPRO so we can improve it. We use as few as possible — and we only place non-essential cookies with your explicit consent. We use Plausible Analytics, which is cookieless by design and collects no personal data.

1. What are cookies?

In short: Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. They help the site remember who you are and how you use it.

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They are read by the site on subsequent visits to remember information about you — for example, that you're logged in, or that you've already seen a banner.

DREMONPRO also uses similar browser storage technologies, including localStorage and sessionStorage. This policy covers all such technologies and refers to them collectively as "cookies".

Cookies set by DREMONPRO are called first-party cookies. Cookies or scripts loaded from our third-party partners are third-party cookies. Under EU and UK ePrivacy rules, non-essential cookies (those not strictly required to operate the Service) require your consent before we set them.

2. What cookies we use

In short: We use strictly necessary cookies for login sessions, and optional analytics cookies. We do not use advertising, remarketing, or social media tracking cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential to the operation of the Service and cannot be disabled. Without them, you cannot log in, maintain a session, or use security features. They do not require your consent under ePrivacy rules because they are strictly necessary for the delivery of a service you have requested.

Strictly necessary cookies set by DREMONPRO include: your login session token, a CSRF protection token to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks, and a cookie that stores your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask you again on every visit.

Analytics cookies

We use Plausible Analytics for website analytics. Plausible is cookieless by design — it does not set any cookies or use any form of persistent browser storage. It collects no personal data, performs no cross-site or cross-device tracking, and does not fingerprint your browser. All data is aggregated and anonymous. Plausible is GDPR, CCPA, and PECR-compliant without requiring a consent banner for its own analytics. See Section 4 for full details.

Preference cookies (app only)

Within the DREMONPRO app (available to logged-in users), we use localStorage to remember your UI preferences such as display settings and language. These are not set on the public website. These require your consent.

What we don't use

DREMONPRO does not use advertising cookies, remarketing pixels, social media tracking tags (Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, TikTok Pixel, etc.), Google Analytics, or any cross-site behavioural tracking technology.

3. Essential cookies table

In short: All first-party cookies we set, their purpose, and how long they last.

Name	Category	Purpose	Duration
vp_session	Strictly necessary	Authenticates your active login session. Deleted when you close your browser.	Session
vp_csrf	Strictly necessary	CSRF protection token. Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks.	Session
vp_auth	Strictly necessary	Keeps you logged in when "Remember me" is selected. Set with Secure and SameSite=Strict flags.	30 days
vp_cookie_prefs	Strictly necessary	Stores your cookie preference choices from this page so we don't re-ask on every visit.	12 months
vp_theme	Preferences (app)	Saves your dark/light mode or display preference within the app (localStorage).	12 months
vp_lang	Preferences (app)	Saves your language preference within the app (localStorage).	12 months
vp_ref	Attribution (optional)	Stores your referral source (UTM parameters) at first visit only. Used solely for internal campaign measurement — not shared with advertisers.	30 days

4. Analytics — Plausible Analytics

In short: We use Plausible Analytics, which is cookieless, collects no personal data, and is GDPR-compliant by design. No consent needed for Plausible itself.

Plausible Analytics (plausible.io) is our analytics provider. Plausible's design principles differ substantially from traditional analytics tools:

Cookieless: Plausible sets no cookies and uses no localStorage or sessionStorage of any kind.
No personal data: Plausible does not collect IP addresses, user agents, or any other data that could identify an individual. Page view counts are derived from a daily rotating hash that cannot be reversed to identify a user.
No fingerprinting: Plausible does not attempt to fingerprint your browser or device.
No cross-site tracking: Plausible operates only within dremonpro.com and does not track you across the web.
EU-hosted: Plausible's infrastructure is based in Germany (EU). No data leaves the EEA.
Open source: Plausible's code is open source and independently auditable.

Because Plausible collects no personal data and sets no cookies, it does not require a consent banner under GDPR, UK GDPR, or ePrivacy Directive rules. However, we include it in our cookie preference panel below for full transparency, and you may opt out of Plausible page-view counting by enabling the "Do Not Track" signal in your browser — Plausible respects the DNT header.

5. Manage your cookie preferences

In short: Use the toggles below to manage optional cookie categories. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the Service to function.

Use the controls below to accept or decline each optional cookie category. Your preferences are saved in localStorage and applied on every visit. "Essential Only" keeps only the strictly necessary cookies active.

Strictly necessary Always on

Login sessions, security tokens (CSRF), and cookie consent storage. Cannot be disabled — the Service cannot function without these.

Analytics (Plausible) Cookieless · No personal data

Plausible is cookieless and collects no personal data. Toggling this off sends a "Do Not Track" preference — Plausible already respects DNT and no cookies will be set either way. Included here for full transparency.

Preferences

Remembers your UI settings within the app (display mode, language) so you don't have to re-configure them on every visit. Only applies to logged-in users.

6. Third-party cookies

In short: Vercel may set edge cookies for performance routing. Plausible is cookieless. We embed no advertising or social media trackers whatsoever.

DREMONPRO is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may set technical cookies related to edge routing and load balancing. These are functional cookies that do not contain personal information and are necessary to route your request to the correct server.

DREMONPRO does not embed Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tags, LinkedIn Insight, TikTok Pixel, Twitter Pixel, or any other advertising network or social media tracking scripts. We have a deliberate policy of zero advertising trackers.

Embedded content from third parties — for example, YouTube video embeds in the blog — may set their own cookies if you interact with them. Where possible, we use privacy-enhanced embed modes. We only load third-party embeds after you explicitly interact with them.

7. Browser controls

In short: You can control cookies in any major browser. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent login.

In addition to our preference centre above, you can control all cookies directly in your browser settings:

ChromeSettings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
SafariPreferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
FirefoxSettings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
EdgeSettings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
OperaSettings → Advanced → Privacy and security → Site settings → Cookies

Blocking all cookies will prevent you from logging in to DREMONPRO. Strictly necessary cookies must be permitted for the Service to function correctly.

8. Changes to this policy

In short: We'll notify account holders by email if we add any new cookie category requiring consent.

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies. If we add a new category of cookie requiring consent, we will notify registered account holders by email and present a fresh consent prompt on your next visit. Non-material updates (such as clarifying descriptions or correcting errors) will be reflected in the "Last updated" date without individual notification.
