Cookies and local storage
ViveQode uses only cookies and storage entries required for the website to work. We set no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies. Under § 25(2)(2) TDDDG we therefore need no consent and show no cookie banner.

1. Cookies
The sign-in cookies apply to viveqode.com and its subdomains so you stay signed in when switching to the shop. Without signing in, only the language cookie and possibly the CSRF protection are set. No cookies are set when a QR code is scanned.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| __Secure-next-auth.session-token | Keeps you signed in (encrypted, HTTPS only). | 30 days or until you sign out |
| __Host-next-auth.csrf-token | Protects sign-in and form requests against forgery (CSRF). | Session (until the browser closes) |
| __Secure-next-auth.callback-url | Remembers which page to return to after signing in. | Session |
| viveqode_locale | Stores the selected language (de/en). | Session |
2. Local storage in the browser
These entries stay in your browser and are not sent to us, except the cart when you check out.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |

| ls_cart_v1 | Contents of your shop cart. | Until checkout or until you clear it |
| ls_launch_banner_dismissed, vq_purchase_notice_dismissed_v1 | Remembers that you closed a notice. | Until you clear your browser data |
