Cookie Policy
Last updated: 6 October 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, work in the same way. In this policy "cookies" covers both.
2. Why Vantis Guard uses them
We use cookies to keep you securely signed in, protect your account and payments, and remember your settings. With your permission we may also use optional cookies to understand how the website is used.
3. Necessary cookies
These are required for the website and app to work securely and cannot be switched off. They do not need your consent.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sign-in session (sb-…-auth-token) | Vantis Guard (authentication) | Keeps you securely signed in to your account | Until you sign out; refreshed while in use |
| vg.cookie-consent | Vantis Guard | Remembers your cookie choices | Until you change or clear it |
| Theme and map appearance | Vantis Guard | Remembers Day, Night or Auto map | Until you change or clear it |
| Vehicle and display settings | Vantis Guard | Remembers selected vehicle, speed units and screen tabs | Until you change or clear it |
| Setup progress (vg.onboarding.*) | Vantis Guard | Resumes device activation and subscription setup | Until setup completes or you clear it |
| Stripe checkout cookies (e.g. __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid) | Stripe (payments) | Fraud prevention and secure payment, only on checkout pages | Up to 1 year (__stripe_mid), 30 minutes (__stripe_sid) |
4. Analytics cookies
Vantis Guard does not currently use any analytics cookies or services. If we add them, they will stay off until you choose to allow Analytics, and this policy will list them.
5. Marketing cookies
Vantis Guard does not currently use advertising or marketing cookies, pixels or trackers. If we add them, they will stay off until you choose to allow Marketing.
6. Third-party cookies
The only third party that may set cookies is Stripe, our payment provider, when you open a checkout page. These are necessary for secure payment and fraud prevention. Map tiles and fonts are loaded from external servers but do not set cookies through our website.
7. Changing or withdrawing consent
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time. Withdrawing consent stops optional cookies from being used on later page loads, and we remove optional cookies we set where technically possible. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings, though this will sign you out.
Open at any time, or use the Cookie Settings link in the website footer.
