Cookie Notice

Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use. By continuing to use VendorMode, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser.

2. How we use cookies

VendorMode uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential for you to move around the Service and use its features, such as accessing secure areas (e.g., your account). Without these cookies, we cannot provide the services you request.
• Functional cookies: These allow the Service to remember choices you make (such as your language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
• Performance and analytics cookies: We use these to collect information about how visitors use the Service, for example which pages are visited most often, and to detect and fix technical issues. This helps us improve the performance and design of our Service. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous.
• Third‑party cookies: Some cookies are placed by third‑party services that appear on our pages. For example, we use Stripe for payment processing, which may set cookies to facilitate secure transactions. We also use ZeptoMail for transactional emails and Web3Forms for support forms; these services may set cookies for functionality. DigitalOcean, our hosting provider, may also set cookies for load balancing and security.

3. Third‑party cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third‑party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service and to support our payment and communication functions. These third parties may set cookies when you visit the Service. We do not control these cookies; you should check the respective privacy policies of these third parties for more information:

• Stripe: https://stripe.com/privacy
• ZeptoMail (Zoho): https://www.zoho.com/privacy.html
• Web3Forms: https://web3forms.com/privacy
• DigitalOcean: https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/privacy-policy
• Google Analytics (if used): https://policies.google.com/privacy
