Cookie Policy

Last updated: 4 November 2026

voye uses first-party cookies to sign you in and keep you signed in, and one to remember whether you left the sidebar open, plus browser storage for features you use, such as your knowledge base. We use no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, so we do not ask for cookie consent.

1. What cookies and browser storage are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Browser storage (such as local storage, IndexedDB and the cache) lets a website keep data on your device. Under the ePrivacy rules, storing or reading information on your device requires your consent unless it is strictly necessary to provide a service you have explicitly requested.

2. The cookies we use

All of our cookies are first-party cookies that provide the Service. The sign-in cookies are marked Secure and HttpOnly, so they are sent only over encrypted connections and cannot be read by scripts on the page. The sidebar preference is read by the page itself so that it can draw the sidebar as you left it.

  • voye_access (strictly necessary): proves that you are signed in. Expires when your session token expires, usually within minutes to hours.
  • voye_refresh (strictly necessary): keeps you signed in by renewing your session without asking you to sign in again. Expires after 30 days, or when you sign out.
  • voye_oauth_state (strictly necessary): protects the sign-in flow against forged requests. Exists only while you sign in.
  • voye_sidebar (preference): remembers whether the sidebar is open, so that it is the same on every page and after a reload. Expires after one year, or when you clear your cookies.

When you sign in, you are taken to the sign-in pages of our authentication provider, WorkOS, which may set its own strictly necessary cookies on its own domain. Those are governed by WorkOS's cookie policy.

3. Browser storage we use

  • Knowledge base (IndexedDB, functional): the files, notes and passages you add to your knowledge base, kept on your device so that they never need to be stored on our servers. Kept until you delete them or clear your browser data.
  • Model files (browser cache, functional): the on-device models used for the knowledge base and for anonymisation, downloaded once so that they need not be downloaded again. Kept until you clear your browser data; the desktop app keeps its own in its data folder on your computer until you remove the app.

This storage is used only to provide features you have chosen to use, and none of it is used to track you.

4. No analytics or advertising cookies

We do not use analytics, advertising, social media or other tracking cookies, and we do not allow third parties to place such cookies through the Service. If we ever want to use them, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first.

5. How to control cookies

You can delete cookies and browser storage, and block them, in your browser settings. If you block the strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in; without the sidebar cookie, the sidebar starts open each time. If you clear your browser storage, your knowledge base will be deleted from that device; export it first if you want to keep it.
