1. Introduction
United Lanes LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company doing business as VA Base ("VABase," "we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and platform at vabase.co (the "Service"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we collect and use personal data.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, work more efficiently, and provide information to website operators.
Cookies set by the website operator are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called third-party cookies. Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by third-party services, such as payment processing and analytics.
3. Cookies We Use
VABase uses the following categories of cookies:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Service to function and cannot be disabled. They are set automatically in response to actions you take, such as logging in, managing your account, or completing a payment. Without these cookies, core features of the Service cannot operate.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | VABase (Next.js) | Maintains your authenticated session while you are logged in to the platform | Session |
| CSRF token | VABase (Next.js) | Security token that protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
| __stripe_mid | Stripe | Fraud prevention and payment security. Set when you visit pages with Stripe payment elements | 1 year |
| __stripe_sid | Stripe | Fraud prevention and session identification for payment processing | 30 minutes |
These cookies cannot be disabled through our Service as they are required for the platform to operate securely. You may disable them through your browser settings but doing so will prevent you from logging in or completing a subscription purchase.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Service — which pages are visited most, how users navigate the platform, and where users come from. This information is aggregated and used solely to improve the Service. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated identifier | 2 years |
| _ga_[ID] | Google Analytics | Used to persist session state across page requests | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users — stores and updates a unique value for each page visited | 24 hours |
Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. This data is transmitted to and stored by Google. Google's use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the Service to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preference cookies | VABase | Remembers your platform settings and preferences between sessions | 30 days |
4. Cookies We Do Not Use
VABase does not currently use:
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Facebook Pixel or any social media tracking pixels
- Retargeting cookies of any kind
- Any cookies that track your activity across third-party websites
If this changes in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated and you will be notified in accordance with Section 7 below.
5. How to Manage Cookies
5.1 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu of your browser. The following links provide guidance on cookie management for common browsers:
- Google Chrome: support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
- Mozilla Firefox: support.mozilla.org/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies
- Safari: support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies
- Microsoft Edge: support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies
Please note that restricting or disabling cookies may impact the functionality of the Service. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in or completing a subscription purchase.
5.2 Google Analytics Opt-Out
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information with Google about your visit.
5.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. VABase does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals as there is no industry-wide standard for how such signals should be interpreted. We will revisit this position as standards develop.
6. Third-Party Services
VABase uses the following third-party services that may set cookies or collect data through cookies on our Service:
Stripe — Payment processing
Stripe sets cookies for fraud prevention and secure payment session management. These cookies are strictly necessary when you access any payment-related feature of the Service. Stripe's Cookie Policy is available at stripe.com/cookie-settings.
Google Analytics — Website and platform analytics
Google Analytics sets cookies to track usage patterns and generate aggregated reports about Service usage. Google's Privacy Policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
VABase is not responsible for the cookie practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review their respective cookie and privacy policies using the links above.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the third-party services we work with, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice within the Service prior to the change becoming effective. The updated policy will be identified by a revised effective date at the top of this page.
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any updated Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
