Cookie Policy
Last updated: 16 October 2026
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. Local storage works in a similar way. This page explains which ones start-ip.eu uses.
Only technical cookies
We use only cookies and local storage that are strictly necessary to provide the service you request, such as keeping you signed in. We do not use analytics, advertising, profiling or social media cookies, and we do not let third parties set them on our site.
Under the ePrivacy Directive and the guidelines of the Italian data protection authority, technical cookies do not require your consent. On your first visit we still ask for your preference, so that if we ever add optional cookies they are used only if you chose “Accept all”. To change your choice, clear this site's data in your browser and the banner will appear again.
What we use

sb-…-auth-token | Cookie | Keeps you signed in to your account. | Until you sign out or the session expires |
_vcrcs | Cookie | Set by our hosting provider (Vercel) when it checks that a visitor is not an automated attack. | Short, set by Vercel |
start-ip-cookie-consent | Local storage | Remembers your cookie choice so the banner is not shown again. | Until you clear your browser data |
start-ip-theme | Local storage | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. | Until you clear your browser data |
