Cookie Policy
How VVVKernel handles cookies, local storage, and session signals.
1. What we store
VVVKernel is a terminal interface running on the Venice AI substrate. We keep state local to your browser whenever possible. The site does not run third-party analytics, advertising trackers, or fingerprinting scripts.
- Local storage — used by the wallet bridge (Privy) to remember an active embedded wallet session, so you do not have to reconnect on every visit.
- Session storage — used by the terminal to remember the kernel mode, signal profile, holder tier, LFV sensor and expert role you have selected during the current tab session.
- Cookies — the static site itself sets no first-party tracking cookies. A single functional cookie may be written by the Privy wallet SDK to maintain an authenticated wallet session.
2. Cookie inventory
| Name | Source | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
privy-token | Privy SDK | Maintains an authenticated embedded wallet session. | Session / up to 30 days |
privy-id-token | Privy SDK | Identity refresh token for the active wallet session. | Session |
vvv-kernel-mode | Local storage | Remembers which kernel mode you opened the terminal in. | Until you clear it |
vvv-holder-tier | Local storage | Stores your last selected holder tier so the terminal opens in the right profile. | Until you clear it |
3. Why we keep it minimal
VVVKernel is operator software, not a marketing site. We do not need to know who visits, where they come from, or what they do after they leave. Everything the terminal needs to render its state lives on your device. If you clear browser storage, the terminal simply boots back into its default low mode.
4. Wallet & onchain context
When you connect a wallet through the Privy bridge, the wallet provider (MetaMask, Coinbase, Base or an embedded email wallet) may set its own cookies and storage entries inside its own iframe context. Those are governed by that provider's policy, not by VVVKernel.
VVVKernel never reads, transmits or stores private keys, seed phrases, or signing material. Wallet addresses are read into memory only to display them in the terminal header.
5. Controlling cookies
- Use your browser's privacy settings to clear cookies and local storage for this domain at any time.
- Disconnect the wallet from inside the terminal to drop the Privy session immediately.
- Use a private / incognito window to run the terminal with no persisted state at all.
There is nothing here you have to opt into. The cookie banner that may appear on first visit is a single click Okay acknowledgement — declining it does not break the terminal.
6. Changes to this policy
If we ever start using a new functional service that touches cookies (for example a new wallet provider), we will update this page first. There are no marketing or analytics cookies planned.
