Cookie Policy
Vestara · Last updated: June 2025
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones our website uses, what they do, and how you can manage or remove them. When you first visit the Vestara website, a notice invites you to accept or decline non-essential cookies before they are placed.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to recognise your browser and remember certain information — such as your consent preferences or whether you have already seen a particular notice. Cookies cannot run programmes or carry viruses.
Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels are governed by the same principles in this policy and are referred to collectively as "cookies" below.
2. Cookies We Use
The Vestara website uses a small number of cookies in three categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be turned off. They do not store any personally identifiable information and are set only in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form or indicating a consent preference.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
vestara_cookie_consent |
Stores your cookie consent preference so the notice is not shown on every page | 12 months |
PHPSESSID |
Standard PHP session identifier used to maintain state during a visit (homepage only) | Session |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — for example, which pages are viewed most often and where visitors come from. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous; it does not identify individual visitors. These cookies are only placed if you accept them.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics | Distinguishes users for aggregate traffic reporting | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics | Persists session state for Analytics | 2 years |
Analytics data is used only to improve the website. It is not shared with third parties for advertising or profiling purposes.
Functionality Cookies
Currently the Vestara website does not use functionality or preference cookies beyond the strictly necessary category. This section will be updated if that changes.
3. Cookies We Do Not Use
The Vestara website does not use:
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Cookies from social media platforms
- Cross-site tracking cookies
- Cookies that build individual user profiles
Embedded content (such as the Google Maps section on our homepage) may load cookies set by the respective third-party service. These are governed by that service's own cookie and privacy policies.
4. Managing Cookies
You can manage cookies in the following ways:
- Cookie consent notice: When you first visit the site, a notice allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies, which will cause the notice to reappear on your next visit.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling all cookies will affect website functionality; strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without also preventing certain site functions from working.
- Google Analytics opt-out: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when we change the cookies used on the site. The date at the top reflects the most recent revision. We recommend checking this page occasionally if you visit the site regularly.
