Cookies
22 October 2026. Applies worldwide. This is not legal advice.
Do you have to choose yes or no?
No. Viscerl does not show a cookie yes or no banner. The cookies this site sets are first-party cookies used to run the product: keeping you signed in, securing sign-in round trips, and remembering layout and task options on this browser.
Viscerl does not set advertising cookies and does not use cookies to follow you onto other websites. Page measurement uses Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, which do not use cookies.
Cookie and privacy rules differ by country. In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, consent is generally required for non-essential cookies, while cookies that are strictly necessary for a service you asked for can run without a prior choice. In Australia and in many United States state privacy laws, the focus for this kind of first-party product cookie is clear disclosure rather than a European-style cookie wall. This page is the disclosure for every visitor.
Session and sign-in cookies are necessary for accounts to work. Preference cookies only store how you laid out the workspace and which task options you chose. Turning those off would sign you out or reset the layout, not stop advertising, because there is no advertising cookie to refuse.
If Viscerl later sets advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or other cookies that need a prior choice where you live, this page will change and a choice will be added.
The privacy policy is still empty. Cookies and a privacy policy answer different duties. This page covers cookies.

Measurement
Pages load Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights. Those scripts measure visits and page speed with anonymous, aggregated data. They are not advertising tags, they do not use cookies, and Viscerl does not use them to build a marketing profile or follow you across other sites.
You can clear cookies in your browser. Clearing the session cookie signs you out. Clearing the preference cookies restores the default layout and task options.
