The Sandpiper Group LTD keeps VibeDex deliberately light on cookies. We use none for advertising and none for cross-site tracking.

| Name | Type | Lifetime | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication session | Strictly necessary | Until you sign out, or up to 30 days | Keeps you signed in and lets your account load your saved items securely. |
| Anti-spam token | Strictly necessary | Minutes, per submission | Signs the maths captcha on the add-business form so submissions cannot be replayed. |
| Recent searches | Local storage, on your device | Until you clear it | Remembers your last searches so they are one tap away. Never sent to us. |
| Install prompt state | Local storage, on your device | Until you clear it | Remembers that you dismissed the add-to-home-screen prompt. |
| Embedded map | Third-party embed | Session, set by OpenStreetMap | The office map on our contact page. Only loaded once you allow third-party embeds. |
| Cookie choice | Strictly necessary | Until you clear it | Records the decision you made in the cookie banner so we do not ask again. |
Your choice
The strictly necessary items keep you signed in, stop spam and remember your cookie choice, so they cannot be switched off. The other two groups are opt-in and you control them one by one below: preferences on your device (recent searches and the install prompt, stored in your browser and never transmitted to us) and third-party embeds (the office map on our contact page, which the provider only receives a request for once you agree). Your choices are saved on this device and stay in force until you change them here. We use no analytics and no advertising cookies at all; if that ever changes we will ask you first.
Third-party content
Map tiles, web fonts and any photo files are fetched from third-party providers, which receive your IP address as part of the ordinary request. Those providers do not set advertising cookies for us. Where an owner links to Google, Trustpilot or the Food Standards Agency, we render only the figures, so no third-party script runs on our pages.
Location and camera
Vibe Walk asks for location, camera and motion permission through your browser. Those are permissions rather than cookies, they are entirely up to you, and you can revoke them in your browser or device settings at any time. Camera frames stay on your device.
Controlling cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings, and clear the on-device items by clearing site data for vibedex.life. Blocking the session cookie will sign you out and stop account features working. Questions? Call +44 20 4509 9796 or email hello@noreply.vibedex.life.
