Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2026
This page explains what cookies VATBuild uses and why. We are committed to transparency and using only what is strictly necessary to run the service.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data stored in your browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as whether you are logged in.
Cookies we use
VATBuild uses only strictly necessary cookies. We do not use advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking cookies.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| connect.sid | Session (HTTP cookie) | Keeps you logged in after authentication. Strictly necessary for the service to function. | 30 days, or on sign-out |
| cookieConsent | localStorage (not a cookie) | Remembers that you have acknowledged our cookie notice so we don't show it again. | Persistent (until browser data is cleared) |
Third-party cookies
We do not load any third-party scripts that set cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising network.
Managing cookies
Because we only use strictly necessary cookies, there is no option to opt out without ceasing to use the service — the session cookie is required for login to work.
You can delete cookies at any time via your browser settings. Deleting the session cookie will sign you out of VATBuild.
