Browser Storage & Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 June 2025
Draft — not yet a final legal document
FotoFlow is currently in private beta. This policy is a working draft. A final version will be published before public launch.
FotoFlow stores small amounts of data in your browser to make the service work. This includes both browser cookies and other storage mechanisms such as localStorage and sessionStorage. This page documents everything we store, why, and how long it persists.
Strictly necessary
These items are required for the service to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Key | Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| fotoflow_cookie_consent | localStorage | Remembers whether you have accepted or declined optional analytics. Never sent to our servers. | Until cleared |
Gallery session state
While you are browsing a gallery and configuring a print order, FotoFlow keeps your in-progress selections in sessionStorage. This means the data is scoped to your current browser tab, never sent to our servers until you place an order, and is automatically removed when you close the tab or complete your order. The key names include your gallery access code so that multiple gallery sessions in different tabs do not interfere with each other.
| Key | Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| gallery-{code}-selections | sessionStorage | The IDs of photos you have selected for printing. Shared across the gallery, editing, and print configuration steps so your selection is not lost when navigating between them. | Tab session / cleared on order |
| gallery-{code}-print-configs | sessionStorage | Print specifications for each selected photo: size, quantity, paper type, crop settings, and any per-print notes. Persisted so navigating back to a previous step restores your configuration. | Tab session / cleared on order |
| gallery-{code}-provider | sessionStorage | The print provider you selected during checkout. Stored so the selection is retained if you navigate back to review your order. | Tab session |
Analytics (optional)
If you accept optional cookies, FotoFlow uses Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous page-view data. This helps us understand how the service is used so we can improve it. Analytics are not used to identify individual users and do not track activity across other websites.
| Key | Storage | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| va_* | Cookie | Vercel Analytics — anonymous page-view tracking to help us understand overall usage patterns. | Session |

We aim to keep browser storage to a minimum and only store what is necessary to operate FotoFlow. For any questions contact support@fotoflow.eu.
