• Local storage / session storage: Used for app functionality such as keeping you signed in and remembering UI preferences.
• Partner referral cookie (vara_vid): Set only when you arrive through a partner referral link, so we can credit the partner who referred you if you later create an account or make a purchase. First-party, HttpOnly, and expires after 60 days. It holds a random identifier and no personal data, is not used for advertising, and is never shared with anyone outside VA Rating Assistant.

If we introduce optional analytics cookies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and the on-site consent experience before enabling them.
