Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files a site stores on your device. This policy also covers local storage, which we use to keep a half-finished profile safe if you close the tab.

These cannot be switched off, because the service does not work without them.

• Session cookie — keeps you signed in as you move between pages. Expires when you sign out.
• CSRF token — protects the forms you submit from being forged by another site.
• Draft storage — keeps an unfinished profile on your device so a refresh does not lose your answers.

A small record of choices you have made — the units you prefer for height, and whether you have dismissed a notice. Clearing them costs you nothing but the preference.

We measure aggregate use — which pages are visited, where sign-up is abandoned — so we can fix what is broken. Analytics are first-party, IP addresses are truncated before storage, and nothing is joined back to your profile.

No advertising cookies. No social media pixels. No cross-site tracking, and no data brokers. We do not sell advertising, so there is no business reason for any of it.

Every major browser lets you see, block and delete cookies for a site. Blocking essential cookies will sign you out and prevent forms from submitting; blocking the rest is harmless.

Questions, requests and complaints all go to the same place, and a person reads them: privacy@realvows.com. We reply within one working day and resolve most requests within thirty days.
