Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 7, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and provide a better user experience. We use cookies and similar technologies on the Cloud platform.
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
We set exactly one cookie. It is essential for the platform to function and cannot be disabled while you are signed in.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Flags |
|---|---|---|---|
av_refresh | Holds the refresh token that keeps you signed in between visits | 7 days | HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax |
Because it is HttpOnly, this cookie cannot be read by JavaScript running in your browser. Your short-lived access token is never written to a cookie — it is kept in memory only and refreshed silently while the tab is open.
2.2 Browser Storage
Beyond that single cookie, we store a small amount of data directly in your browser. This is not sent to our servers with every request the way a cookie is — it stays on your device and is readable only by this site.
| Key | Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
theme | Local storage | Your dark / light / system appearance choice | Until you clear it |
av:language | Local storage | Your interface language | Until you clear it |
av:upload-visibility | Local storage | Whether new uploads default to private or public | Until you clear it |
av_challenge | Session storage | Ties your password step to your two-factor step during sign-in | Until the tab is closed |
pendingPlan | Session storage | Remembers the plan you picked before creating your account | Until the tab is closed |
2.3 Analytics Cookies
We currently do not use third-party analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel). If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Our platform integrates with third-party services that may set their own cookies:
- Stripe: Sets cookies during the checkout process for payment security and fraud prevention. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Block third-party cookies
- Accept or reject cookies on a case-by-case basis
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using the Cloud dashboard, as authentication requires cookies to function.
Browser-specific instructions:
5. Cookie Consent
The av_refresh cookie is strictly necessary to deliver the service you asked for: without it you cannot stay signed in. Storage of that kind is exempt from prior consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, as transposed into French law in Article 82 of the Loi Informatique et Libertés.
The browser storage listed in section 2.2 holds only preferences you set yourself, and only once you set them. We set no tracking, advertising, or analytics storage of any kind, and we share none of this data with third parties.
You can clear all of it at any time from your browser settings. Clearing theav_refresh cookie signs you out.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
