Cookies
Effective October 20, 2026
Shaadi Planning uses only the cookies the Service needs to work.
The Cookies We Use
All of them are first-party, strictly necessary, secure (sent only over HTTPS) and, except the last, cannot be read by scripts. None is used for analytics or advertising.
- Sign-in (
vc, up to 30 days, andpw_ws, which wedding you opened): keeps you signed in to your planner or a wedding website you unlocked with its password. Planners, vendors and our team have their own sign-in cookie (vp,vv,vt), each lasting hours. - Sign-in in progress (
sp_oaandsp_where, 10 minutes;sp_buyer, 2 hours while you sign up and pay): removed when you are done. - Form security (
sp_ft, 2 hours): a signed token that tells our forms you are a person, not a robot. - Where you were (
sp_space, 1 year): whether to open the planner or your team’s workspace when you come back.
What We Do Not Use
No analytics, advertising, tracking or social media cookies, and no third-party cookies. Our visit counts use no cookies at all (see the Privacy Policy). Our fonts are served from our own site, so no font service sees your visit. A video a couple adds to their wedding website plays in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced (no-cookie) player or Vimeo’s player with Do Not Track on. Maps open Google Maps only when you tap a link. If a form ever needs an extra robot check, Cloudflare Turnstile runs it under Cloudflare’s own privacy policy. Your browser may also keep a few settings on your device (for example a saved draft or your light or dark choice); they never leave it.
No Banner Needed
Because we only use cookies that are strictly necessary for the Service you asked for, the EU and UK cookie rules (the ePrivacy Directive and PECR) do not require us to ask first, so you will not see a cookie banner.
Your Choice
You can block or delete cookies in your browser, but you will then be signed out and will have to sign in each time.
