Overview & Definitions
Cookies and local storage keys are small data tokens stored in your browser when interacting with web applications. VENUS utilizes these technologies to secure authenticated client sessions, preserve language and currency choices, and diagnose runtime latency.
We strictly categorize cookies into four explicit tiers: ESSENTIAL, PREFERENCE, ANALYTICS, and MARKETING. We do not host third-party cross-site advertising trackers or sell audience profiles.
