This policy explains what VelloDoc and the services it uses store in your browser: cookies from Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity on every page. It also lists the few items VelloDoc's tools keep on your device.
Cookies
VelloDoc's own code sets no cookies, and none are needed to use the tools, read the site in another language or send a message. These cookies come from the analytics services:
_ga, set on vellodoc.com by Google Analytics on every page, recognizes a returning browser. It lasts up to two years.- A cookie whose name starts with
_ga_, also from Google Analytics, keeps track of the current visit. It lasts up to two years. _clck, set on vellodoc.com by Microsoft Clarity on every page, recognizes a returning browser. It lasts up to a year._clsk, also from Microsoft Clarity, links the pages of one visit. It lasts up to a day.
Through Microsoft Clarity, Microsoft also sets its own cookies on its domains clarity.ms and bing.com, not on vellodoc.com, such as MUID and CLID. They last up to about 13 months.
Local storage and similar technologies
VelloDoc's own code keeps a few things in your browser, only so the tools work the way you asked. None of it is sent to VelloDoc or used to track you:
- Your light or dark theme, if you pick one with the switch in the header (localStorage).
- Settings and workflows you save on a tool page, and signatures and initials you create in the PDF editor so you can use them again (localStorage). They stay until you delete them or clear the site's data.
- A file you pass from one tool to the next, or drop on the home page, while the next tool opens (IndexedDB). That tool removes it when it opens, and a file left behind is never used after 30 minutes.
- The steps of the workflow you're running, for the current tab only (sessionStorage).
The language you read the site in comes from the page address, like /es/ for Spanish or /ar/ for Arabic, so no preference has to be saved. Nothing is saved, and you can switch languages from the menu at any time. Share links keep their key inside the link itself, after the # sign, and the AI PDF Workspace keeps your documents' text only in the open page, so neither uses browser storage.
Analytics
VelloDoc uses Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how the site is used. Each loads its script from its own company's servers. The privacy policy explains what Google and Microsoft receive. VelloDoc runs no ads and uses no social media plugins. You can block these cookies in your browser's settings or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, and the tools keep working.
Hosting provider
The site is delivered by its hosting provider, Render, which processes technical information like IP addresses to deliver and protect the service. The privacy policy explains this.
If this changes
If VelloDoc adds other cookies or browser storage, this policy will be updated before they're used.
Clearing site data
You can clear cookies and stored data for any website in your browser's privacy or site settings.
