Cookies Policy

Overview

This Cookies Policy describes how CartonVista uses browser storage technologies, including HTTP cookies, localStorage, and IndexedDB. It explains what information remains on your device and how third-party infrastructure providers may independently handle certain technical data.

This policy complements the Privacy Policy by focusing specifically on browser storage mechanisms. It does not replace the broader privacy discussion but provides additional technical detail about how CartonVista implements its browser-first approach.

What cookies are

HTTP cookies are small text files that websites can place on your device. They typically serve purposes like maintaining login sessions, remembering preferences, tracking user behavior, or providing security features.

Cookies are generally categorized as:

• Session cookies: Exist only during your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies: Remain on your device between sessions until they expire or you delete them
• First-party cookies: Set by the website you're visiting
• Third-party cookies: Set by domains other than the one you're visiting

It's important to distinguish HTTP cookies from other browser storage technologies like localStorage and IndexedDB, which serve different technical purposes and have different privacy characteristics.

CartonVista's current cookie practices

Based on the current implementation (as of October 2026), CartonVista's application code does not explicitly set HTTP cookies for session management, user tracking, or advertising purposes.

However, it's important to recognize that third-party infrastructure providers—such as hosting platforms, content delivery networks, and security services—may independently process certain technical requests and could potentially set cookies or similar identifiers as part of their normal operations.

CartonVista does not claim that no cookies can ever be set by browser software, hosting infrastructure, or network security providers. The focus of this policy is on what CartonVista's own application code currently implements.

Local storage and IndexedDB

CartonVista's current implementation relies on browser-local storage technologies to provide a persistent workspace experience:

• localStorage: Used for small preferences such as unit system (metric/imperial), handling preferences, and optimization objectives
• IndexedDB: Used for structured data storage including workspace drafts, recent items and plans, saved Business products and cartons, and recent projects

These browser-local storage mechanisms are distinct from HTTP cookies:

• They store data exclusively on your device
• They are not automatically transmitted to websites or servers
• They persist according to browser storage policies, not cookie expiration rules

Data stored locally in your browser does not automatically mean it is uploaded to CartonVista or any third-party service. The current product is designed to keep core workspace data browser-local.

Hosting and essential technologies

CartonVista is currently hosted on Cloudflare Pages, a static hosting platform. Like any web hosting infrastructure, Cloudflare may process technical request information as part of normal website delivery and security operations.

Third-party infrastructure providers may independently:

• Process standard technical request information like IP addresses, user-agent strings, request URLs, and timing data
• Implement security measures that could involve cookies or similar identifiers
• Maintain logs for operational, security, or diagnostic purposes

CartonVista does not control the specific cookie practices or technical implementations of third-party infrastructure providers. The existence of security or infrastructure-related cookies depends on provider configuration and may change without direct notification from CartonVista.

For detailed information about a specific provider's practices, please refer to that provider's own privacy documentation.

Your browser controls

Modern browsers provide various controls for managing cookies and site data:

• Cookie settings: Most browsers allow you to view, manage, or block cookies through their privacy or settings menus
• Site data clearing: You can clear stored data for specific websites, including cookies, localStorage, and IndexedDB data
• Private browsing: Using private/incognito modes can limit data persistence between sessions
• Browser extensions: Various privacy-focused extensions provide additional control over tracking technologies

Exported CSV and JSON files are separate files controlled by you, not tied to browser storage. You can save them independently and restore them later if needed.

Future technologies and policy changes

As CartonVista evolves, future integrations, analytics tools, account features, or cloud services may introduce different browser storage technologies. Any material changes to CartonVista's technical implementation will be reflected accurately in the published policies.

Potential future additions could include:

• Optional account features requiring session management
• Analytics tools to understand product usage patterns
• Cloud synchronization for cross-device access
• Third-party integrations with additional technical requirements

This policy will be updated to reflect any such changes when they are implemented. CartonVista does not currently use these services, and their mention here does not imply they exist or will be implemented.
