Cookie Policy

Last updated: April 2026 · Járnhaus

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They enable the website to remember your preferences and session state across page loads. Völundr uses a combination of essential cookies (required for the service to function) and optional cookies (only used with your consent).

2. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. No consent is required to set these cookies.

next-auth.session-token

  • Purpose: Session authentication — identifies your logged-in session
  • Type: HTTP-only, Secure
  • Lifetime: Until sign-out or browser session ends

next-auth.csrf-token

  • Purpose: Cross-Site Request Forgery protection — validates form submissions
  • Type: HTTP-only, Secure
  • Lifetime: Until sign-out or browser session ends

next-auth.callback-url (optional, set on redirect)

  • Purpose: Stores the URL to redirect to after authentication
  • Type: HTTP-only
  • Lifetime: Session only

Note: These cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for authentication and security. They do not track you across websites.

3. Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use Völundr so we can improve the platform. Analytics cookies are off by default. We only activate analytics if you explicitly consent via the cookie consent banner.

If analytics cookies are enabled in the future, they may collect:

  • Page views and navigation paths
  • Referrer information (how you found the platform)
  • Feature interaction events (which platform features are used)

We plan to use privacy-first analytics tools such as Plausible or PostHog. No analytics cookies are currently set.

4. Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies enable personalised advertising and campaign attribution. Marketing cookies are off by default. We do not currently use any marketing or advertising cookies. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and request your explicit consent before activating any marketing cookies.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Völundr does not currently set any third-party cookies. Any third-party services we integrate in the future (analytics tools, payment processors) will be disclosed in this policy before activation.

6. How to Manage Your Consent

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:

  • Via the cookie consent banner that appears on your first visit to any Völundr page
  • By clearing the cookie-consentkey from your browser’s localStorage (Developer Tools → Application → Local Storage → völundr.dev)
  • Via your browser’s built-in cookie settings

Note: Strictly Necessary cookies cannot be disabled without preventing the platform from functioning correctly.

For more information about how we handle your personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

7. Updates to This Policy

We will update this Cookie Policy when we add new cookie categories or third-party services. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced via the platform or by email.
