1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. Local storage (localStorage) and IndexedDB are modern browser storage mechanisms that allow web applications to store preferences locally on your device without transmitting data back and forth on every network request.

Below is the complete, verified list of cookies and storage keys utilized in our codebase:

3. Third-Party Embedded Storage

Whop Embedded Checkout

When a supporter completes a donation or a creator upgrades to Pro, the Whop checkout iframe loads from whop.com. Whop sets essential security cookies necessary to verify the checkout session, prevent payment fraud, and securely process credit card transactions. These cookies are governed by Whop's privacy policy.

Google Analytics (Optional)

ModVC includes an optional Google Analytics script (G-1GY9VS59GK) to monitor aggregate platform uptime and page performance. This script is only activated if analytics consent has not been declined in your Cookie Preferences.

4. How to Manage Your Preferences

You can customize or reset your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the button below or using the "Cookie Preferences" link in our platform footer:

You can also block or clear cookies directly within your web browser settings. Note that disabling essential functional storage (such as session tokens) will prevent you from staying logged in to your account.
