What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites work correctly, remember your preferences, and (when you consent) collect analytics data. VeloCMS uses a minimal set of cookies — we are not in the business of tracking you.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the service to function. They do not require consent under UK PECR because they are strictly necessary for a service you have explicitly requested.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| pb_admin_session | Authenticates blog owner admin sessions | 7 days |
| pb_member_auth | Authenticates blog reader member sessions | Session |
Preference cookies
These cookies remember your choices to improve your experience. They do not track you across sites.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| velocms_cookie_consent | Stores your analytics cookie consent choice | 1 year (localStorage) |
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies are only set if you have opted in AND the blog owner has enabled Google Analytics for their specific blog. VeloCMS itself uses privacy-first analytics (Plausible) on its own marketing pages — no cookies required.
If a blog you visit uses Google Analytics, the following cookies may be set after you accept:
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 — session persistence | 2 years |
Managing your preferences
You can update your analytics cookie consent at any time. Clicking the button below resets your choice and brings back the consent banner on any blog using Google Analytics.
You can also clear cookies entirely through your browser settings. Note that clearing essential cookies will log you out of any active sessions.
