Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are miniature alphanumeric data files placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone by websites you visit. They enable websites to recall your actions, checklist progress, and preferences over time so you do not need to re-enter them upon every page navigation.
In addition to cookies, Vaultsortnst utilizes modern HTML5 Local Storage (`localStorage`) which stores data securely inside your client browser sandbox without transmitting data back to web servers on every HTTP request.
