Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 8, 2026 · Version 1.2
This Cookie Policy explains how Webkio uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser localStorage) on our marketing site and in the application. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies like localStorage store data in your browser. We use them to keep you signed in, remember preferences, secure forms, and - with your consent - understand how the site is used.
2. Your Choices & Consent
When you first visit, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential (e.g. analytics) cookies. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the Service cannot function without them. You can change your decision at any time:
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may stop working. When you make a choice, we keep a minimal record of it (your decision, the policy version, date, and basic request details) so we can demonstrate consent as required by law.
3. Cookies & Technologies We Use
Strictly necessary
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
Session cookie (e.g. PHPSESSID) | Keeps you signed in and maintains your session | Session |
| CSRF token | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Session |
| Authentication token | Stored in localStorage to authenticate you to our API while using the app | Until logout/expiry |
sp_cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie choice (stored in localStorage) | Persistent |
Functional
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Theme / UI preferences | Remembers preferences such as light/dark theme (stored in localStorage) | Persistent |
wk_vid | A random visitor identifier (stored in localStorage) used to record your cookie choice against a stable reference; not an advertising identifier | Persistent |
Analytics (consent required)
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Measures site usage and traffic; set only after you accept analytics cookies | Up to 2 years |
If you decline analytics, Google Analytics still runs in a cookieless mode (Google Consent Mode). No cookies are set and nothing is stored on or read from your device; Google receives only the page address, your browser type and your IP address, which it uses to produce anonymous, aggregated visit estimates. It cannot recognise you across visits or across sites. Accepting analytics enables the _ga cookies above and full measurement.
We also collect privacy-friendly, server-side visit metrics (including IP address and approximate country) to operate and secure the Service; these do not rely on advertising cookies. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Security & anti-spam
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| reCAPTCHA cookies | Distinguishes humans from bots to protect our forms from abuse | Varies (Google) |
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by the third parties listed above (Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA). These providers may process data under their own privacy policies. We do not control cookies set on websites you build and publish with Webkio - as their operator, you are responsible for your own cookie notice and consent. See our Data Processing Agreement.
5. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. We will post updates here and revise the "Last updated" date.
