1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy applies to UNIVRS websites, the public app, account areas, and Console-accessible public experiences operated by Black Sands Ventures, Inc.. It should be read with the Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small text records stored by a browser. UNIVRS may also use local storage, session storage, service-worker caches, and similar storage technologies. These tools can keep a session secure, remember a trip or route, save preferences, measure aggregate use, and support optional marketing attribution.
3. Essential storage
Essential storage is used for account authentication, first-party session continuity, security and anti-abuse controls, membership checkout handoff, saved cookie choices, trip drafts, active-trip context, PWA operation, and load-balancing or cache integrity. These functions may not work when essential storage is blocked.
Examples may include WordPress authentication cookies, the signed UNIVRS app-session cookie, security nonces, consent-choice storage, and short-lived route or draft state.
4. Optional categories
Analytics
Helps us understand aggregate route use, failures, performance, and feature adoption. Optional analytics should not load before consent where consent is required.
Personalization
Remembers optional destination, content, and recommendation preferences beyond what is required to provide the account or trip service.
Marketing
Supports campaign attribution, offer measurement, and relevant promotional experiences. Marketing storage is optional.
Third-party services
Stripe, Google, maps, video, email, or other integrated services may use their own storage when their feature is loaded. Their policies also apply.
5. Your choices
On your first eligible visit, UNIVRS offers controls to accept all optional categories, reject optional categories, or manage each category. Rejecting must remain available without preventing use of essential account and trip functions. Use the persistent Privacy choices control to change or withdraw optional consent later.
6. Consent records
UNIVRS records the consent-policy version, selected categories, time, user ID when signed in, and limited hashed security context. This supports preference continuity and evidence of the choice. The consent record does not contain a full IP address or raw browser fingerprint.
7. Current first-party storage register
| Storage | Purpose | Category | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| rc_univrs_app_session | Signed first-party account session | Essential | Up to 30 days |
| WordPress login/security cookies | Authentication and account security | Essential | Session or configured login term |
| univrs_consent_v1 | Stores cookie-category choices and policy version | Essential | Until the policy changes or storage is cleared |
| UNIVRS route, trip, draft, and PWA storage | Retains active context, drafts, offline shell, and performance state | Essential or Personalization, depending on use | Session to persistent until cleared |
| Analytics or campaign storage | Aggregate measurement and attribution | Analytics or Marketing | Provider/configuration dependent |
The exact register may change when features or providers change. Console should be used to review and version the active policy before launch.
8. Browser and device controls
You can clear or block browser storage through browser settings. Blocking essential storage may sign you out, remove drafts, or prevent Trips, membership, or security features from working. Browser-level deletion may not remove server-side account records; use Data Rights for those requests.
9. Updates
We may update this policy and the consent version when categories, providers, or purposes materially change. When required, UNIVRS will ask for a new choice.
