Cookie Policy
Last updated: 23 July 2026
This policy explains how Velometry (velometry.cc) uses cookies. Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. We keep our use of them to the strict minimum needed to run the service.
The cookies we use
Velometry sets a single, strictly necessary first-party cookie: the session cookie. It exists so the application can work at all — nothing about it is used for tracking, profiling, analytics, or advertising.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
Session cookie (PHP session, e.g. PHPSESSID) |
Keeps you signed in after you connect with Strava, and carries the anti-forgery (CSRF) token that protects form submissions. The CSRF token is held inside this session — there is no separate CSRF cookie. | Strictly necessary · first-party | Session — cleared when you close your browser or when the session expires |
This cookie is marked HttpOnly (not readable by JavaScript) and
SameSite=Lax, and is served as Secure over HTTPS.
What we do not use
Velometry sets no analytics, performance, advertising, marketing, or social-media cookies, and embeds no third-party tracking scripts. We do not build advertising profiles and we do not sell data.
Do we need your consent?
No consent banner is required for the cookie above. Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR, cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service the user has explicitly requested — such as keeping you logged in and securing forms — are exempt from the consent requirement. By using Velometry you accept this essential cookie. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies (for example analytics), we will ask for your opt-in consent before loading them.
Strava and third parties
Signing in sends you to Strava's own authorization page. Strava may set its own cookies there, governed entirely by Strava's Privacy and Cookie Policy, not by this document. Velometry never receives or stores your Strava password.
Managing cookies
You can view, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking the session cookie will prevent you from signing in and using the admin panel, since the service cannot maintain a logged-in session without it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes. The "last updated" date above always reflects the current version.
