Overview

What does Vue Storefront do?

What Vue Storefront is and how it works

Vue Storefront is provided by Alokai (Vue Storefront) and runs on infrastructure that you control. It supports your website functionality directly, so you act as the controller for any personal data it processes.

What data and cookies Vue Storefront processes

Vue Storefront processes the data your visitors and members submit and stores first party cookies for sessions or preferences in your own database, so no data leaves your environment unless you connect an external provider.

GDPR and ePrivacy implications

Even when software is self hosted you remain fully responsible under the GDPR. You decide the purposes and the means, so you must document the processing, secure the data and respect the rights of the people whose data you hold.

Do you need consent

The cookies Vue Storefront needs are strictly necessary for the service to work, so they are exempt from prior consent under the ePrivacy rules, but you must still inform visitors about them.

International data transfers

Vue Storefront is a frontend framework that you host yourself, so it does not by itself transfer personal data to the vendor or to a third country. Even so, record the hosting location in your records of processing to demonstrate accountability under Article 30 GDPR.

How to stay compliant with Vue Storefront

Keep Vue Storefront updated, restrict who can access the data, set a sensible retention period, describe any cookies it sets in your cookie policy and, if you forward data to an external provider, sign a data processing agreement with that provider.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about Vue Storefront

Can't find your question? Write to us, we answer fast.

What cookies does Vue Storefront set?

Vue Storefront sets the following cookies: vsf-locale, vsf-cart. Each one is listed in the cookie table on this page with its type, duration and purpose, and you should mirror that list in your own cookie policy.

Is consent required to use Vue Storefront?

No prior consent is needed for the strictly necessary cookies Vue Storefront uses to function, but you must still describe them in your privacy and cookie policy under the transparency rules.

What is the legal basis for Vue Storefront?

The lawful basis is Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Record this basis in your records of processing and state it in the privacy notice shown to visitors.

Does Vue Storefront transfer data to a third country?

By default no transfer to a third country takes place. Vue Storefront is a frontend framework that you host yourself, so it does not by itself transfer personal data to the vendor or to a third country. Reassess if you later enable an external integration.

Do I need a DPIA for Vue Storefront?

A DPIA is usually not required for Vue Storefront on its own because the processing is limited and low risk, but document your reasoning.

How do I implement Vue Storefront in a compliant way?

Implement Vue Storefront through your consent layer: keep strictly necessary functions always on, gate optional ones behind consent, sign a data processing agreement with Alokai (Vue Storefront) where it acts as a processor and keep your cookie policy in sync with the real cookies.

What are the alternatives to Vue Storefront?

Alternatives include other self hosted or privacy friendly tools. Hosting the data yourself avoids an external transfer, which simplifies your compliance position.

How do I update my cookie policy for Vue Storefront?

List every cookie Vue Storefront sets in your cookie policy with its name, purpose and retention, state the legal basis, name Alokai (Vue Storefront) where relevant, and update the policy whenever the tool changes so refusals in your banner are always honoured.
