Cookies and browser storage

How Arcvelle uses your browser's local storage for your projects, and why we do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Last updated

This document is a template written for Arcvelle as it works today. It has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer and will be updated before accounts, payments or AI features launch.

This page explains how Arcvelle uses cookies and similar technologies on arcvelle.com.

No advertising or tracking cookies

We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not use cookies to track you across other websites. We do not allow advertising networks or social media trackers on the site.

Local storage

Instead of cookies, Arcvelle Studio and the standalone tools use your browser's local storage. Local storage keeps information on your device and is not sent to our server with each request the way cookies are. We use it to:

  • save your projects, including plans, furniture, materials, units, saved views and quote details
  • remember which project you had open last, so the Studio reopens it

When a standalone tool such as the kitchen planner sends its result to the Studio, it passes it through your browser's session storage, which is cleared when the tab closes.

This storage is needed for the tools to work as you expect: without it, your projects could not be saved between visits. It stays on your device until you delete it.

Images and PDFs you open for tracing, moodboards and the image lab are handled in your browser and are not uploaded to us.

Share links carry a design inside the part of the link after the "#" symbol. This part is not sent to our server and is not a cookie. Opening a share link does not save the design to your device unless you choose to open it in the Studio.

Analytics

Where enabled, we use privacy-friendly analytics that does not set cookies. It counts page visits in aggregate and is not used to identify you. See our privacy policy for details.

Managing storage

You can see and delete stored information in your browser's settings, usually under site data or storage for arcvelle.com. Deleting it removes your saved projects from that browser, and we cannot restore them. Export any project you want to keep first.

Blocking local storage, or using a private window, may stop projects from being saved.

Changes

If we add cookies in future, for example when accounts or payments launch, we will update this page before they are used and ask for your consent where the law requires it. Questions can be sent to [email protected].
