Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 26, 2026
What cookies does Vershun use?
Vershun uses a single, strictly necessary cookie:
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| vershun_refresh | Maintains your login session | HTTP-only, Secure, SameSite=Lax | 7 days |
This cookie is set only when you log into the Vershun dashboard. It is not used for tracking, advertising, or analytics.
What about public changelog pages?
Public changelog pages (your-project.vershun.io or your custom domain) do NOT set any cookies.
What about the widget?
The Vershun embeddable widget does NOT set any cookies.
The Vershun widget uses localStorage (browser-local storage) to store functional data required for the service to operate correctly:
- Read post IDs (to display unread badges)
- Voted item IDs (to prevent duplicate votes)
- Subscription status (to show confirmed state)
- Widget display preferences
This storage is classified as 'strictly necessary' under the ePrivacy Directive and CNIL/EDPB guidelines, as it is essential for the service to function as requested by the user (vote integrity, notification preferences). It therefore does not require prior consent.
This data stays in the visitor's browser and is never transmitted to our servers.
Third-party cookies
We do not use any third-party cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any tracking scripts.
Do I need a cookie consent banner?
Under the RGPD and the ePrivacy Directive, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. Since Vershun only uses a strictly necessary session cookie, no consent banner is required for Vershun's cookies.
If you use other tools on your website that set cookies, you may still need a consent banner for those tools. This is independent of Vershun.
