Last Updated: March 9, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to website owners, and enhance user experience.
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which serve similar purposes. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these similar technologies.

Supabase sets authentication cookies to manage your login session. See Supabase's Privacy Policy.
4.3 Cloudflare
Cloudflare may set cookies for security and performance optimization. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
4.4 Plausible Analytics (No Cookies)
We measure traffic to vashana.com with Plausible Analytics, which is listed here for completeness rather than because it sets anything: it uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device. It records page views, referrer, and coarse device and country information, all aggregated — no cross-site tracking, no advertising profiles, and no personal data that could identify you. Because nothing is stored on or read from your device and no personal data is collected, it does not require consent, and it is not affected by the analytics toggle below. Data is processed within the EU.
