What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep so it can recognise you next time. Browser storage — localStorage and sessionStorage — does something similar. By law, all of this may be stored without consent only when the site genuinely cannot work without it.
Our site sets no cookies of its own
That is not a figure of speech: velano.com.ua sends your browser no cookies at all. Instead we keep three technical values in your browser's localStorage. They never leave your device — we cannot even see them.
| What is stored | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| velano_theme | Remember light or dark theme | Until you clear your browser |
| velano_compare | The products you added to comparison | Until you clear your browser |
| velano_cookie | Your analytics choice, so we don't ask every time | Until you clear your browser |
Third-party services
Cookies can appear on our site from only three external services. Two of them start only when you act.
| Service | When it starts | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Only after you press "Accept". Without consent the script is not even loaded | To count visits and see which pages are useful |
| YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) | The player is embedded in privacy-enhanced mode: advertising cookies appear only if you start a video | To show product reviews |
| Google Maps | Only on the "Where to buy" page — the map is the point of that page | To show the nearest shops on a map |
Cloudflare's attack protection may set a technical cookie that tells humans from bots. It exists for site security and is not used for advertising or tracking.
How to change your choice
Click "Cookie settings" at the bottom of any page — the banner opens again and you can give or withdraw consent. Withdrawal applies going forward.
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Clearing this site's data also removes our three values, so the banner will appear again.
What comes next
We plan to add advertising tools from Google, Meta and TikTok. None of them is running yet. When we add them, we will update this page before launch and ask for your consent again, because that is a different purpose.
