# Cookie Policy

Virusis should not be read only through the lens of classic marketing cookies. The product can use both cookies and local-storage-like client persistence.

## Main categories observed

* session cookies
* trial-related cookies
* preference and consent components
* share and trial helper values in local storage

## Important product behavior

Some trial and access experiences rely on product cookies that are:

* part of guided or limited-access flows
* security-relevant
* critical for the core product flow

## Non-cookie client storage

Local storage is not a cookie, but because it stores data on the user device, it should still be discussed alongside cookies in privacy and security documentation.

## Principle

Required security and session cookies should be clearly separated from optional measurement cookies.
