Visbig sets no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies and no tracking pixels. There is no Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no session recorder, no product analytics. That is why you will not see a consent banner here: there is nothing optional to consent to, and a banner asking permission for a login cookie would be theatre.
Everything below is either strictly necessary to sign you in or a preference you set yourself. All of it is first-party, set by us and read only by us. Place of processing for every one of them is Vienna, Austria, where our servers run.
The categories, and which we use
| Category | What it means | Do we? |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Without it the service cannot work. Signing in, and keeping you signed in | Yes |
| Preference | Remembers a choice you made about the interface | Yes |
| Measurement | Analytics on how you use the product | No |
| Marketing | Advertising, retargeting, profiling | No |
Consent is required for the last two categories. We use neither, which is the whole reason there is no banner. If that ever changes, the banner arrives before the cookie does.
Cookies
| Name | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
sln-visbig-auth.session_token | Keeps you signed in. Without it every page load would ask for your password. | Until the session expires or you sign out |
sln-visbig-auth.session_data | A short-lived cache of your session so each request avoids a database round trip. | Session |
sln-visbig-auth.state, .pkce, .nonce | Set only while you are signing in with Google, to prove the reply came back to the same browser that started the request. Deleted once sign-in completes. | Minutes |
sidebar_state | Remembers whether you collapsed the sidebar. | 7 days |
Browser storage
These are localStorage keys, not cookies. They never leave your browser and are not sent
to our servers.
| Key | Purpose |
|---|---|
visbig:return-sheet:* | Unsaved edits to a return you are working on, so a refresh does not lose them. This holds figures from the return. |
visbig:voice-speaker | The assistant voice you picked. |
askVisbig:width, sourcesDock:width | How wide you dragged the chat and sources panels. |
Third-party requests
One asset on our site is fetched from a third party: a small script from unpkg.com that generates the launch screen when the app is installed to an iPhone home
screen. It sets no cookies and collects nothing, but loading it does reveal your IP address to that
CDN. We plan to serve it ourselves.
Payment pages are hosted by our payment gateway and set their own cookies under their own policy. That happens only when you open checkout.
Turning them off
Every browser can block or clear cookies, and you can clear site data for Visbig at any time. The controls live in your browser's settings:
There is no industry opt-out list to point you at, because we run no advertising or measurement trackers for those lists to cover.
Blocking the session cookie will sign you out and prevent you from signing back in, because there is no other way for us to recognise your browser. Clearing local storage loses unsaved return edits and your panel and voice preferences, nothing more.
