Cookie Policy
This policy describes cookies and similar storage used by Verve Collections at store.soundswift.com. Verve Collections is the merchandise marketplace in the SoundSwift ecosystem. This policy covers the marketplace. It does not describe every other SoundSwift product.
A cookie is a small text file a site stores on your browser. Similar storage includes the session data that cookie identifies. Verve uses these tools to operate the store, not to build an advertising profile.
Essential cookies
These are required for the marketplace to function.
- Session cookie. The store keeps a session cookie so it can remember your visit. It holds the shopping cart, checkout progress, sign-in session, and security data such as the form token. The cookie name follows the application session setting.
- Security token. A matching token cookie helps forms reject forged submissions.
- Cookie notice. If you choose Allow on the cookie notice, the store saves a cookie named gdpr_cookie so the notice is not shown again for a period of time. That cookie stores the site name, not a profile of your purchases.
- SoundSwift sign-in. When you use Continue with SoundSwift, a short-lived cookie named ss_verve_state is used to match the sign-in return to the request that started it. It is a security check. It is not an advertising cookie.
- Stay signed in. If you choose to remain signed in, the browser may keep a remember-me cookie for that account session.
The cart and checkout live in the session. Disabling the session cookie means the cart, sign-in, and checkout cannot be relied on.
Preferences
The store can remember a language choice in the session. Verve does not use a separate advertising-preference cookie.
Analytics
Verve Collections does not use advertising cookies as part of the marketplace. A measurement tool runs only if analytics is enabled in the store settings. When analytics is not enabled, Verve does not set analytics cookies. The cookie notice records that you allowed the notice. It is not a category-by-category consent manager.
Payment providers
When a payment method is offered at checkout, the provider that processes it, such as Stripe or PayPal, may set cookies on its own pages or components. Those methods are offered only when Verve has configured them. Provider cookies are governed by that provider as well as this policy.
Other technologies
Product pages can include a link that opens a third-party share window, such as a social network. That network may set cookies only if you choose to use it. Seller storefronts may link to a seller's own website or social page. Those sites are not operated by Verve.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser. If you block essential cookies, signing in, keeping a cart, and checking out may not work. Blocking the cookie-notice cookie only means the notice can appear again.
Updates
Verve may update this policy when the store's cookie use changes. The revised policy will be posted on this page.
