Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 2, 2026
This page explains the cookies ventureease.biz uses and the choices you have. We keep it plain: this site sets a small number of essential cookies to make it work, plus one optional analytics cookie that is set only if you opt in. Our analytics is first-party (ours alone) and privacy-respecting — we do not use third-party advertising trackers, and we do not sell your data. Each VentureEase product (StartEase, LaunchEase, HireEase) has its own cookie and privacy policy for data within that app.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of text a website stores in your browser so it can remember something — for example, that you are signed in, or that you have already answered the cookie banner. Some cookies are essential; others are optional and used only with your permission.
2. Essential cookies (always active)
These are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off. They are first-party (set by ventureease.biz), and they do not track you across other sites.
- Session (
VBIZ_SESSID) — keeps you signed in while you use your account. Set withHttpOnly,SecureandSameSite=Lax; it clears when you close the browser and times out after 24 minutes of inactivity. - Remember me (
VBIZ_REMEMBER) — optional. Only set if you tick “remember me” at sign-in, so you stay signed in on this device for up to 14 days. Signing out removes it. - Cookie choice (
cookie_consent) — remembers the preference you set on the cookie banner (for one year) so we do not ask again.
We protect forms and account actions against cross-site request forgery using request headers, not a tracking cookie.
3. Analytics cookies (optional — set only if you opt in)
We run our own first-party, privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used. It is set only after you opt in to analytics on the banner or in Cookie preferences. If you choose Essential only (or do nothing), no analytics cookie is set and nothing is recorded against you. We never sell this data or share it with advertising networks, and it is never used to track you across other sites.
- Analytics (
VBIZ_AH) — optional; set only after you opt in. Holds a random, pseudonymous identifier (not your name or email) so we can count visits and journeys without profiling you. First-party, set withHttpOnly,SecureandSameSite=Lax, and it lasts up to 180 days. Decline analytics and it is never set; it is removed when it expires or when you clear cookies.
4. Bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)
Our forms (sign-up, contact, subscribe) use Cloudflare Turnstile, a third-party security widget, to tell real visitors from bots. Because the widget loads on every page, Cloudflare (a third party) receives your IP address and basic request metadata and may set its own cloudflare.com cookies to make that determination; we receive only a pass/fail result, never the contents of your visit. This is bot protection — not advertising or analytics. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
5. Payments
This site does not process payments, so no payment or checkout cookies are set here. If you subscribe to a paid plan on one of our products (LaunchEase or HireEase), that happens on the product’s own site under its own policy.
6. Single sign-on (SSO)
When you sign in and open a VentureEase product from your dashboard, we sign you in there using a short-lived signed token — not a shared cross-site tracking cookie. See our Privacy Policy for the details.
7. Your choices
- On your first visit, the banner lets you Accept all, choose Essential only, or Customize the analytics toggle.
- You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the footer.
- You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings — but blocking essential cookies will stop you from signing in.
