This policy explains how Varyom uses cookies, local storage and similar technologies when you visit our website or use the platform.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use browser storage (localStorage/IndexedDB) to keep your session, preferences and drafts available between visits. In this policy we call all of these "cookies".
2. Categories we use
- Strictly necessary — authentication and session tokens, security and abuse prevention, payment and checkout flows, maintenance and preview access. These cannot be switched off.
- Functional — remembering interface preferences such as your onboarding walkthrough progress, camera filters and saved reference images.
- Analytics — aggregated usage measurement so we can see which features are used and where people get stuck. Optional.
- Marketing — measuring campaigns, creator referrals and affiliate attribution. Optional.
3. Third parties that may set cookies
Some features rely on service providers who set their own cookies, including our authentication and database provider, our payment processor (Stripe) for checkout and fraud prevention, bot-protection (Cloudflare Turnstile), live audio/video infrastructure, and embedded commerce checkouts. See our Subprocessors page for the current list.
4. Your choices
When you first visit Varyom we show a cookie notice where you can accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or choose categories. You can change your decision at any time:
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break sign-in, payments and other core features.
5. Do Not Track and global signals
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by law as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information. See our California Privacy Notice.
6. Retention
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies typically last from a few days up to 12 months, after which you will be asked to confirm your preferences again.
7. Changes
We may update this policy as we add or remove technologies. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
