Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 14, 2026

1. About This Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Vinly, Inc. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on withvinly.com and the Vinly application. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

Vinly is a personal relationship management tool, not an advertising platform. Our cookie use is limited to keeping the site functional, maintaining your session, and measuring aggregate usage so we can improve the product. We do not use cookies for cross-site behavioral advertising.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow us to recognize your device across page loads, store preferences, and measure how the site is used. We also use related browser technologies such as local storage (for example, to remember your cookie-banner dismissal).

3. How We Use Cookies

Category	Examples on withvinly.com	Lifetime
Strictly necessary	Session cookie, CSRF token, cookie-banner dismissal state (localStorage)	Session to 12 months
Preferences	UI theme, language setting	Up to 12 months
Analytics	Anonymized page-view and feature-usage data (self-hosted or privacy-respecting provider)	Up to 13 months
Marketing	Not currently used	Not applicable

4. Notice and Choice

Vinly operates under a notice-only consent model for US visitors. By continuing to use the Service, you acknowledge our use of cookies as described above. Analytics cookies may activate by default. You can opt out of analytics at any time by using the cookie banner, clicking "Cookie preferences" in the footer, or configuring your browser to block cookies.

5. Universal Opt-Out Signals

Where applicable state law requires (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and Oregon), Vinly honors browser-transmitted opt-out signals, including the Global Privacy Control ("GPC"). If your browser sends a GPC signal, we suppress analytics initialization on your device regardless of prior dismissal status. Because Vinly does not engage in sale or targeted advertising of personal information, the GPC signal affects analytics only.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by third parties who act as our service providers, such as an analytics vendor. These providers operate under data-processing agreements that limit their use of data to providing services to us. We do not permit third-party advertising networks to set cookies on withvinly.com.

7. Managing Cookies

Use the cookie banner or "Cookie preferences" link in the footer to opt out of analytics.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings; visit aboutcookies.org for instructions by browser.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect your ability to log in or use core features of the Service.

8. Changes and Contact

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change our analytics provider, add or remove cookie categories, or when applicable law requires it. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any change.
