Cookie Policy - Vibe44

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).

2. How We Use Cookies

Vibe44 uses a minimal number of cookies, limited to what is strictly necessary for the website to function properly and to remember your preferences. We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking, analytics, or profiling purposes.

3. Cookies We Use

Below is a complete inventory of all cookies used on the Vibe44 website:

Note: Both items above are stored in your browser's localStorage, not as traditional HTTP cookies. They are included here for full transparency. They are never transmitted to our servers and are accessible only within your browser on our domain.

4. Essential vs. Non-Essential Cookies

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and GDPR, cookies that are strictly necessary for the functioning of a website are exempt from the requirement to obtain prior consent.

• Essential cookies — required for the website to function (e.g., cookie consent preference). These do not require consent.
• Functional cookies — enhance your experience by remembering preferences (e.g., theme preference). We request your consent for these through our cookie consent banner.

Vibe44 currently does not use any non-essential cookies such as analytics, advertising, or social media tracking cookies.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We do not set any third-party cookies on our website. Our third-party service providers (Creem, Resend, GitHub, Cal.com) may set cookies on their own domains when you interact with their services (e.g., during checkout), but these are governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies.

6. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear giving you the option to:

• Accept All — enables all cookies including functional preferences
• Essential Only — only essential cookies are stored; functional cookies (like theme preference) may not persist between sessions

You can change your cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for our domain, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.

7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect your experience on our website.

• Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox— Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data

8. Impact of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or clear cookies/localStorage for our site:

• Your theme preference (light/dark mode) will not persist between sessions
• The cookie consent banner will reappear on each visit
• Core website functionality will not be affected

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new cookies or change how we use existing ones. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. If we introduce any analytics or tracking cookies in the future, we will update this policy and obtain your consent before setting those cookies.
