Cookie Policy
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar browser storage technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage. These technologies help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and improve your experience. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain until they expire or are deleted).
This policy explains how VividDraw uses cookies and similar technologies.
How We Use Cookies
VividDraw uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Authentication: To recognize you when you return and keep you signed in across pages.
- Security: To prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other malicious activity.
- Preferences: To remember your language setting and UI preferences.
- Functionality: To enable core features of the Service.
We do not use cookies for advertising, user tracking across websites, or profiling.

All authentication cookies are set with the HttpOnly and Secure flags, meaning they cannot be accessed by JavaScript and are only transmitted over HTTPS.
Third-Party Cookies
When you sign in using Google OAuth, Google may set its own cookies on your device during the authentication flow. These cookies are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
Stripe, our payment processor, may also set cookies during the checkout process to prevent fraud and process payments. These are governed by Stripe's Cookie Policy.
We do not control these third-party cookies.
Google OAuth
When you sign in with Google:
- You are redirected to Google's authentication page.
- Google may set cookies to verify your identity and prevent abuse.
- After successful authentication, Google returns a token to VividDraw.
- We use this token to create or access your VividDraw account.
Google's use of cookies during this process is described in Google's Privacy & Terms.
