Cookie Policy

What cookies are, how Verdelith uses them, and how you can control them.

Last updated: 1 January 2025

Quick Summary
We use only essential and basic analytics cookies. We do not use advertising, tracking, or social media cookies. You can decline non-essential cookies through the banner shown when you first visit the Site.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly and to provide website owners with information about how their sites are being used.

Cookies are not programs and cannot carry viruses or malware. They are simply data files that help websites remember information about your visit.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Verdelith uses two categories of cookies:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as remembering your cookie consent preference. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies, and they do not require your consent under applicable law.

Analytics Cookies

With your consent, we use basic analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Site in aggregate — for example, which pages are viewed most often and how long visitors spend on each page. This information is used to improve the Site's content and usability. Analytics data is collected in anonymised aggregate form and is not used to identify individual users.

We do not use:

  • Advertising or targeting cookies
  • Social media tracking cookies
  • Cross-site tracking or profiling cookies
  • Cookies to build individual user profiles

3. Cookie Details

Cookie Name Category Purpose Duration
vdl_cookie_consent Necessary Stores your cookie consent choice (accepted/declined) so the banner is not shown on every page visit. 12 months
_ga Analytics Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users using a randomly generated number. Used in aggregate only. 2 years
_ga_* Analytics Google Analytics — maintains session state for analytics data collection. 2 years

Analytics cookies are only set if you accept cookies through our consent banner. The vdl_cookie_consent cookie is always set once you interact with the banner.

4. Third-Party Cookies

If analytics cookies are accepted, cookies may be set by Google Analytics (operated by Google LLC). Google may process analytics data in accordance with its own privacy policy. We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled.

We use Phosphor Icons loaded from a CDN (unpkg.com). This CDN service may set server-side logs but does not set user-facing tracking cookies.

When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You may:

  • Accept All: Both necessary and analytics cookies will be used.
  • Decline: Only strictly necessary cookies will be used.

Your preference is stored for 12 months. You may change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies (which will reset the banner) or by contacting us.

6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

You can control and/or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View the cookies currently stored on your device
  • Delete existing cookies
  • Block cookies from specific or all websites
  • Set preferences for cookies before they are set

Please refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions. Note that disabling necessary cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the Site.

7. Policy Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as regulatory requirements evolve. The "Last updated" date will be revised accordingly.
