Cookie Policy

How VINquery uses essential browser technologies and how you control optional preferences, analytics, and marketing technologies.

What cookies are and why we use them

Cookies and browser storage remember small amounts of information. VINquery uses strictly necessary technologies to authenticate users, maintain secure sessions, and protect account workflows. Optional technologies are used only after the corresponding consent.

Categories

Strictly Necessary: authentication, session continuity, security, anti-forgery protection, and your consent choice. These cannot be disabled through Cookie Preferences.

Preferences: optional interface choices.

Analytics: optional VINquery usage measurement.

Marketing: optional campaign and advertising-effectiveness measurement.

Developer-only DecisioQ JWT keys in local or session storage are security-sensitive playground state, not analytics identifiers. They should not be used in public production clients.

Changing or withdrawing consent

Select at any time. Withdrawal stops future optional initialization and removes known first-party optional values where possible. Browser or third-party limitations may prevent VINquery from directly deleting every third-party cookie.
