The short version
We use first-party cookies and local storage only. No third-party advertising or analytics trackers. The banner you see on your first visit lets you opt in to analytics; if you decline, only the functional items below are stored.
What we store
| Name | Purpose | Category | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| vj_consent | Records your cookie preference. | Functional | Until you clear it |
| vj_sid | Anonymous session ID so we can group pageviews from one visit. | Analytics (consent-gated) | Until you clear it |
These are stored in your browser's localStorage, not as HTTP cookies — they never leave your device unless you accept analytics, in which case the session ID is sent with each pageview.
Changing your mind
To revoke analytics consent, clear your browser's storage for vijilan.com (or use the browser's "delete site data" option). The banner will reappear on your next visit.
Third-party content
We embed a Cobe-rendered globe and a small set of Lucide icons. Neither sends requests off-domain at runtime — both are bundled into the site. The "Talk to a Security Expert" chat sends your typed messages to Anthropic for AI processing; see the Privacy Policy.
