Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2 June 2026
VeloChecker keeps cookies and local storage to a minimum — only what's needed to sign you in and keep the site secure, plus optional analytics if you choose "Accept all". We never use advertising cookies or cross-site ad tracking.
What we use
| What | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in token (browser local storage) | Strictly necessary | Keeps you logged in between visits. Set by our authentication provider (Supabase). Without it you'd have to sign in on every page. |
Cloudflare security cookies (e.g. __cf_bm) | Strictly necessary | Set by Cloudflare to protect the site from bots and abuse. |
| Affiliate referral cookies | Third-party | When you click a "buy" link, the retailer or its affiliate network (e.g. AWIN) may set a cookie on their site to attribute the referral. These are governed by that third party's policies, not ours. |
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, e.g. _ga) | Optional — only with consent | If you choose "Accept all", we load Google Analytics to understand how the site is used (pages viewed, outbound clicks) so we can improve it. These are not set if you choose "Essential only". |
We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site ad tracking. Analytics (Google Analytics) runs only if you choose "Accept all" — choose "Essential only" and no analytics cookies are set.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Note that blocking the strictly-necessary sign-in storage will stop you from staying logged in. Affiliate cookies are set on the retailer's site — you can manage those through your browser or the retailer's own controls.
