Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 January 2025
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how visitors use their site.
2. Who We Are
VoidBat Ltd ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at voidbat.com and the associated Chrome extensions. We are registered in England & Wales. For cookie-related enquiries, please contact us at [email protected].
3. Cookies We Use
We keep our cookie usage minimal. The table below describes each cookie category we employ and its purpose.
| Category | Purpose | Duration | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Session management, authentication tokens, CSRF protection. Without these the site cannot function. | Session / up to 1 year | Yes |
| Preferences | Stores your theme (dark/light) and locale settings so we remember your choices on return visits. | 1 year | No |
| Analytics | Aggregate, anonymised page-view and navigation data (via privacy-first analytics). No cross-site tracking. No personal identifiers are stored. | Up to 2 years | No |
| Payments | Stripe may set cookies to process payments securely, detect fraud, and comply with financial regulations. See Stripe's cookie policy. | Session / persistent | For checkout only |
4. Third-Party Cookies
We do not embed third-party advertising networks on our site. The only third-party cookies you may encounter are:
- Stripe — payment processing and fraud prevention.
- Analytics provider — aggregate usage metrics with IP anonymisation enabled.
These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies which govern their use of data, and we encourage you to read them.
5. Your Choices & Consent
When you first visit our website, we will ask for your consent to set non-essential cookies via our cookie consent banner. You can:
- Accept all cookies.
- Accept only strictly necessary cookies.
- Change your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of any page.
Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website (for example, your theme preference will not be remembered between visits).
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when new cookies are set. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions:
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no universally accepted standard for interpreting DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to them differently. You can always opt out of analytics cookies via our cookie consent banner regardless of your DNT setting.
8. Chrome Extension Data
Our Chrome extensions do not use browser cookies. Any data stored by an extension is held in Chrome's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local or chrome.storage.sync) and is never shared with third parties. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for full details.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our website following any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
