Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your browser. We also use related local-storage and session-storage mechanisms (collectively, "storage technologies") for the same general purposes.
2. How We Use Storage Technologies
Grapevine uses storage technologies that fall into the following categories:
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required to operate the Service — keep you signed in, protect against CSRF attacks, route requests, and remember your session. | Session cookies, CSRF tokens, authentication state. |
| Functional | Remember preferences and improve your experience. | Forum filter selections, layout state. |
| Security | Detect malicious activity, enforce rate limits, and protect accounts. | Abuse-prevention identifiers, short-lived security tokens. |
We do not use cookies for cross-site advertising and we do not sell information collected via cookies.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Most of the cookies we set are first-party. Limited third-party storage may be set if you interact with embedded services (for example, a payment processor checkout flow). Those services have their own privacy and cookie policies.
4. Your Choices
- Browser controls. You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will likely break the Service (you won't be able to stay signed in).
- Do Not Track. We do not respond to Do Not Track signals at this time, but we also do not engage in cross-site tracking.
- Account deletion. Deleting your account will remove server-side state associated with your cookies.
5. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date will reflect the most recent revision.
