Cookie policy

Last updated 23 October 2026

This page lists every cookie and similar technology used on vexguard.the-best.uk (VexGuard and the plugin shop) and our other Vexor Core Studios sites, what each one does and how long it lasts. Keystone has its own cookie policy.

The short version

We only use cookies that are strictly necessary to keep you logged in and to keep forms secure. The law doesn't require consent for these, so we don't show a cookie banner. We use no analytics, advertising or social media cookies, and our pages don't load scripts, fonts or images from other companies. Profile pictures from Discord are fetched by our server and shown from our own domain, so Discord can't set its cookies in your browser through our pages.

If we ever add anything that isn't strictly necessary, it will stay off until you choose to allow it, and refusing will be as easy as accepting.

What we use

Name	Site	What it does	How long
`vg_session`	vexguard.the-best.uk	Keeps you logged in with Discord, protects forms against cross-site request forgery, and carries one-off messages such as "Payment received". Strictly necessary.	7 days, or until you log out
`vg_session.sig`	vexguard.the-best.uk	A signature that stops `vg_session` being tampered with. Strictly necessary.	Same as `vg_session`
`studio_session`	vps.the-best.uk/studio	Keeps you logged in to Studio. Strictly necessary.	Until you log out or it expires
`studio_join`	vps.the-best.uk/studio	Remembers a project invite link you opened while you log in. Strictly necessary.	Short-lived
Staff dashboard session cookie	vexorsupport.the-best.uk	Keeps approved staff logged in. Strictly necessary.	Until logout or expiry
`MCSESSID`	mail.the-best.uk	Webmail and mail admin login (mailcow). Strictly necessary. Only used by people with a mailbox.	Browser session

Stripe Checkout runs on Stripe's own website (checkout.stripe.com) and sets its own cookies there for payments and fraud prevention, under Stripe's cookie policy. Discord's login page (discord.com) does the same under Discord's policy.
