Cookie policy
VAPZ keeps tracking off by default. Here is exactly what the current site stores.
Current browser storage
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
vapz_age_verified | Local storage, necessary | Remembers that the visitor confirmed being 21 or older. | Until browser storage is cleared |
vapz_cookie_consent | Local storage, necessary | Stores the selected analytics and advertising choices and the consent version. | 12 months |
vapz_admin | First-party session cookie, necessary | Secures a signed-in session in the private editor. Public visitors do not receive it. | Browser session; editor sessions also expire after inactivity |
Optional services
No analytics or advertising service is installed on the current public site. The consent system includes disabled analytics and advertising categories so future non-essential code can be blocked unless you opt in. A future service must be listed here before it is enabled.
Your choices
You can accept all optional categories, reject them with one click, or choose each category separately. Rejecting optional storage does not prevent you from reading the site. Open at any time to change or withdraw consent.
You can also delete site data in your browser. Doing that removes the saved age confirmation and privacy choice, so the site will ask again. If Global Privacy Control is enabled in your browser, advertising remains off.
Third-party links
Article share buttons and affiliate links are ordinary outbound links. VAPZ does not load those destinations into the page. If you click one, the destination may use its own cookies under its own policy.
