1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They serve different purposes, including remembering your preferences, storing information about your visit, and measuring how you interact with the site.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies Visibility Zone uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.
2. Cookie categories and consent
Cookies are typically categorized into four types based on their purpose:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and enable core features such as security, network management, and basic accessibility. They do not require your consent and remain active even if you reject optional cookies. Without these cookies, our website cannot operate properly.
Preference cookies (functionality cookies)
These cookies remember your choices and preferences (such as language, font size, or custom settings) to personalize your experience. We do not currently use preference cookies on our website, but we include this category for transparency.
Analytics cookies
These cookies collect anonymous information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit, how long you stay, and what links you click. This data helps us understand user behavior and improve our website's performance and content. You have the option to consent to or decline analytics cookies.
Advertising and cross-site tracking cookies
These cookies track your behavior across multiple websites to deliver targeted advertising and build profiles of your interests. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on our website.
3. Cookies we use
| Cookie name | Type | Storage method | Purpose | Expiration | Consent required |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
vz_cookie_consent |
Strictly necessary | localStorage | Stores your cookie consent choice so we remember whether you have accepted or rejected optional cookies. | Persistent (until cleared) | No |
| Analytics (first-party) | Analytics | HTTP cookie | Collects anonymous usage data such as page views, user interactions, and performance metrics to help us improve our website. | 12 months | Yes |
No advertising or cross-site tracking
We do not use cookies to track you across other websites, display targeted advertising, or build consumer profiles. All of our cookies are first-party and used only on our own website.
4. How to manage and withdraw consent
Consent banner
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or customize your preferences. Your choice is saved in the vz_cookie_consent cookie.
Withdrawing or changing your consent
You can withdraw or change your cookie preferences at any time by:
- Clicking the cookie settings option (usually in the footer or a link on the consent banner);
- Clearing the
vz_cookie_consentcookie from your browser (instructions below); - Visiting our website in a private/incognito browser window.
Withdrawing consent does not affect cookies that were set before you withdrew consent, but prevents new analytics cookies from being placed on future visits.

Clearing cookies
You can delete cookies stored on your device through your browser's settings. Most browsers allow you to clear all cookies or cookies from specific websites. Clearing cookies will remove your consent preferences, and the consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
6. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
If your browser is configured to send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we honor this signal as your opt-out of analytics and optional cookies. We will not set analytics cookies on your device if a valid GPC signal is detected.
Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) header. While we recognize DNT signals, we do not alter our cookie practices in response to DNT headers due to the lack of a standardized definition and inconsistent browser implementation. However, you can always control your cookie preferences through your browser settings or our consent banner.
