VULK is a product operated by Code Ahead Lda. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on https://vulk.dev (the "Site"), and your choices regarding cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to site owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (stored until they expire or are deleted) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).
How we use cookies
We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, secure your sessions against CSRF attacks, attribute marketing campaigns, and understand how the Site is used so we can improve it. Where consent is required (EEA, UK, Switzerland), non-essential cookies are loaded only after you accept them.
Essential cookies (always on)
These are required for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core features (login, billing, language).

|---|---|---|

_clck / _clsk | Microsoft Clarity — session recordings and heatmaps on vulk.dev and app.vulk.dev: the page as you saw it. Passwords, email addresses, payment details, keys, your messages and anything you type into a field are hidden. | 1 year / 1 day |
ph_*_posthog | PostHog (EU) — product analytics and session recordings on vulk.dev and app.vulk.dev, so one visit can be followed from the site into the app: the page as you saw it, including the preview of your project inside the app, console messages, errors, loading times and the requests that failed (never their content). Passwords, email addresses, phone numbers, payment details, keys and your messages are always hidden. | 1 year |
Plausible Analytics is also loaded but uses no cookies — it's privacy-first by design and counts unique visitors via a daily-rotating hash.
Third-party cookies
Some pages embed content from third-party services (Stripe checkout, YouTube videos, etc.). These services may set their own cookies. We do not control them; consult the relevant service's cookie policy.
Your choices
- Consent banner — on your first visit a banner lets you accept all, reject all, or choose cookie categories one by one. Change your choice at any time with Cookie settings in the footer of vulk.dev, or in your account settings on app.vulk.dev.
- Browser settings — most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note: blocking essential cookies will break login.
- Do Not Track — we honor DNT for analytics and marketing cookies (essential cookies remain).
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when our cookie usage changes. Material changes are announced by email at least 14 days before they take effect.
