Cookie policy
Last updated: October 1, 2026
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Vetta uses as few as it can: a sign-in cookie, a few settings, and Google Analytics only if you say yes. We don't use advertising cookies.
Always on
These are needed for Vetta to work, or to remember choices you've made. They don't follow you to other websites.
| Name | What it's for | How long |
|---|---|---|
__Secure-better-auth.session_token | Keeps you signed in. Set only when you sign in. | 30 days after you sign in, or until you sign out |
__Secure-better-auth.state | Protects a Google or Apple sign-in from forgery. Set only while you sign in with one of them. | 5 minutes at most, and removed once you're signed in |
vetta-theme (browser storage) | Remembers whether you chose light, dark or your device's setting. | Until you clear it |
vetta-consent (browser storage) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies. | Until you clear it or change your choice |
| Application draft (session storage) | Keeps an unfinished professional application if you reload the page. | Until you close the tab |
When a page has a form, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a person, not a bot, is sending it. Cloudflare reads your IP address and browser details for the check, and it doesn't use tracking cookies. Cloudflare's Turnstile privacy addendum explains what it collects.
Only if you accept: Google Analytics
Google Analytics shows us how people use the site, like which pages they visit and how they found us. It loads only after you accept analytics cookies, and until you choose, it stays off. We've turned off Google signals and ad personalization, and we never send Google your name, your email address, a profession or what you're looking for.
| Name | What it's for | How long |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Tells visits from the same browser apart, using a random ID. | 2 years |
_ga_<ID> | Keeps track of your current visit. | 2 years |
Google keeps the data linked to these cookies for up to 14 months.
Your choices
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. If you block the sign-in cookie, you won't be able to sign in. Declining analytics later stops Google Analytics; to remove cookies it already set, clear your browser's cookies for onvetta.com.
In the Vetta app
The Vetta iOS and Android apps don't use cookies. They keep your sign-in in your device's secure storage, and keep the professionals you save, view or block on your device.
Changes and questions
