Cookie Policy

Scope and technologies

Cookies are small browser records; local/session storage and other browser databases can also keep information. This policy concerns rezafarsi.com and explains the separately linked SVG editor where relevant. It must be read with the Privacy Policy.

What was observed

A fresh Chromium review on 24 October 2026 sampled English/Persian home and contact pages, the English project brief and SVG product pages, and the USIP playground. It observed no cookies or top-level local/session storage keys in the sampled states, including form focus and opening the assistant. It did not cover every interaction, browser, third-party frame or browser database. This bounded observation is not a site-wide promise that no storage is used.

Language preference

One preference cookie, `rf_lang`, is stored only after you act: choosing a language in the header, following a link that contains `?lang=en` or `?lang=fa`, or dismissing the language suggestion. Its entire content is `en` or `fa`, it lasts one year, and it is not used for measurement, advertising or identifying a visitor. If you never act, nothing is stored: on the root page the language is chosen from your browser's `Accept-Language` header and, when that names neither language, from the connecting country. Those signals are not saved. Clearing site data removes the cookie and the site returns to guessing. The observation dated 24 October 2026 above was taken before this cookie existed.

Measurement, verification and tools

The site's own aggregate counter does not set analytics cookies or visitor IDs. Its opt-out is carried in the URL, not stored as a preference. Cloudflare's separate RUM beacon measures browser performance, does not use browser storage according to Cloudflare, and currently excludes visitors connecting through its configured European data-centre exclusion list. Turnstile and other Cloudflare security tools are separate and may process browser/network information. The Turnstile widget is configured without pre-clearance and is not configured to issue a cf_clearance cookie. No clearance cookie was observed in the sampled audit. These observations do not rule out cookies or security state in other contexts.

The separate editor at svg.rezafarsi.com uses localStorage keys `svg-path-studio:session` for session recovery and `svg-path-studio:import-history` for recent imports when those features are used. These copies remain in that browser profile until cleared or removed by browser storage management; they are separate from aggregate marketing measurement. Opening an external service may expose you to its own cookies and storage; a link alone does not mean its tracking is embedded on this site.

Controls

Use the site's usage-counting control or `?metrics=off` to stop its own counter and optional campaign attribution. DNT and GPC are recognized by that collector; these controls do not turn off network/security processing or establish control over every provider script. Browser settings can block or clear cookies and site data; doing so may disrupt verification or delete locally stored editor work. Back up your work before clearing it. Questions: hello@rezafarsi.com.
