What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how users interact with their sites.

VectorSmith uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse website performance, and provide personalised content and advertisements. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use and how you can manage your preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use different types of cookies for various purposes on our website:

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, form submission, and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

These cookies are always active and cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics to track website performance, user behaviour, and improve our services.

You can opt out of these cookies through our cookie consent banner.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages, such as remembering your preferences and settings.

You can control these cookies through our cookie preferences.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites and deliver personalised advertisements. We use Google Ads and other advertising platforms to show relevant ads based on your interests and browsing behaviour.

You can opt out of marketing cookies at any time through our cookie settings.

Third-Party Cookies

We use several third-party services that may place cookies on your device:

  • Google Analytics: Helps us understand website usage and improve user experience
  • Google Ads: Enables us to show relevant advertisements and measure campaign performance
  • Google Fonts: Provides web fonts for consistent typography across devices

These third-party services have their own privacy policies and cookie practices. We recommend reviewing their policies for more information about how they handle your data.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies on our website:

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences.

Browser Settings

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though this may affect website functionality. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.

Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which allows us to respect your consent preferences for Google services whilst still providing basic website functionality. This technology adjusts how Google Analytics and Google Ads behave based on your consent choices.

When you decline marketing cookies, Google Consent Mode ensures that no personally identifiable information is collected for advertising purposes, whilst still allowing basic analytics to help us improve our website.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the "last updated" date.
