Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This cookie policy explains how v55-5.com (the "Service") uses cookies and similar technologies, including local storage, when you visit our website. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies can be "session" cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. Cookies and Local Storage
In addition to traditional cookies, our Service primarily uses localStorage, a browser-based storage mechanism. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with every request, making it more efficient for storing form progress and session data locally on your device. localStorage data persists until it is explicitly cleared by the application or by you through your browser settings.
3. Essential Cookies and Storage
These are necessary for the Service to function properly. Without them, certain features may not work correctly. You cannot opt out of essential cookies without affecting the functionality of the Service.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| v55_form_state | localStorage | Saves your form progress so you can resume where you left off if you navigate away or close your browser. | Session (cleared on completion) |
| v55_payment_session | localStorage | Stores payment verification data to confirm your purchase and grant access to download your completed PDF. | 30 days |
| sb-* | Cookie | Supabase authentication cookies used for session management and secure communication with our backend. | Session |
| v55_cookie_consent | Cookie | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we do not ask you on every visit. | 6 months |
4. Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Service by collecting anonymised information. This data helps us improve the Service. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them via the consent banner shown on your first visit. If you reject them, no analytics cookies are placed on your device.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Cookie | Google Analytics cookie used to distinguish unique users. IP addresses are anonymised before processing. | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Cookie | Google Analytics cookie used to maintain session state and track anonymised usage patterns across pages. | 2 years |
5. Third-Party Cookies
Certain third-party services may set their own cookies when you interact with specific features of our Service:
- Stripe: When you proceed to payment, Stripe may set cookies to process your transaction securely, detect fraud, and comply with PCI-DSS requirements. These cookies are only set during the checkout process. Stripe Cookie Policy.
6. How to Manage Cookies
You can change your analytics consent choice at any time:
You can also control and manage cookies and localStorage in several ways:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. You can usually find these under "Privacy" or "Security" settings. Refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.
- Clearing localStorage: You can clear localStorage through your browser's developer tools (usually accessible via F12 or right-click and "Inspect") under the "Application" or "Storage" tab.
- Google Analytics opt-out: You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Please note: Disabling essential cookies or clearing localStorage may affect the functionality of the Service. Specifically, clearing localStorage will erase any saved form progress and may require you to re-enter your data.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
