Cookie Policy

VERGEIT LTD · Last updated: 1 June 2024 · Effective from: 1 June 2024

Privacy Policy Cookie Policy Terms of Service Terms & Conditions

This Cookie Policy explains how VERGEIT LTD ("VERGEIT", "we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at vergeit.work. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle your personal data.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — your computer, smartphone or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve performance, and to provide information to the owners of the website about how visitors use it.

Cookies contain a unique identifier (a string of letters and numbers) which allows a website to recognise a returning visitor. The cookie itself does not contain personal information, but it can be used in combination with other information to identify you. Cookies are generally set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies").

Cookies serve different purposes and have different lifespans. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period of time or until you delete them manually. Both types may be first-party or third-party in origin.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies including web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), which are small graphic files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track page views and email open rates; local storage objects (LSOs), which function similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data; and similar technologies as they emerge and are adopted in our web infrastructure.

2. How We Use Cookies

VERGEIT LTD uses cookies for several purposes, which are described in the categories below. Understanding these categories will help you make an informed choice about which cookies you are willing to accept.

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for our website to function correctly and cannot be disabled without affecting the core functionality of the site. They are set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form or adjusting your privacy preferences. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent under UK PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003). Examples of the functions these cookies support include:

  • Maintaining the state of your browsing session as you navigate between pages
  • Remembering your cookie consent preferences
  • Ensuring forms function correctly and that your submissions are processed
  • Security-related functions including protection against cross-site request forgery

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits to our website and understand how visitors move through it. The information collected helps us identify which pages are most and least popular, understand where visitors come from, and see how people interact with our content. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and used only to improve how our website functions. We do not use analytics to track individual users across sites or to create profiles for advertising purposes.

We may use tools such as Google Analytics or comparable privacy-respecting analytics services for this purpose. Where we use Google Analytics, we have implemented settings to anonymise IP addresses. We may also use privacy-first analytics alternatives that do not require cookies or do not transmit personal data to third-party servers.

2.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have embedded on our pages. If you do not permit these cookies, some or all of these services may not function correctly. Functional cookies may include those that remember your display preferences, enable embedded media content such as videos, or support the operation of third-party features on our site.

2.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

At present, VERGEIT LTD does not use targeting or advertising cookies on our website. We do not run retargeting campaigns and we do not permit third-party advertising networks to place cookies on our website. If this position changes, we will update this Cookie Policy and seek your consent before placing any such cookies.

3. Specific Cookies in Use

The following table describes the principal cookies that may be set when you visit vergeit.work. Please note that the exact cookies in use may vary as we update our website infrastructure and third-party integrations. This list is reviewed and updated at regular intervals.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

  • cookie_consent — First-party, persistent (12 months). Stores your cookie consent preferences to avoid presenting the consent notice on every visit.
  • session_id — First-party, session. Maintains the state of your browsing session to ensure the website functions correctly during your visit.
  • csrf_token — First-party, session. A security token used to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks when you submit forms on our website.

Analytics Cookies

  • _ga — Third-party (Google Analytics), persistent (2 years). Used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. This cookie is included in each page request and used to calculate visitor, session and campaign data for our analytics reports. IP anonymisation is enabled.
  • _ga_[ID] — Third-party (Google Analytics), persistent (2 years). Used to persist session state across page loads.
  • _gid — Third-party (Google Analytics), persistent (24 hours). Used to distinguish users.
  • _gat — Third-party (Google Analytics), persistent (1 minute). Used to throttle the request rate and limit data collection on high-traffic sites.

4. How to Control Cookies

You have several options for managing your cookie preferences. You can exercise control at the level of our website, through your browser settings, or through third-party opt-out tools.

4.1 Our Cookie Consent Tool

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a notice describing our use of cookies and giving you the opportunity to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time by contacting us at Pilpil2Fernando@vergeit.work with your request. Please note that changes to your cookie preferences apply to the specific device and browser you are using at the time of the change.

4.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can change your browser settings to block cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent to your device. The method for doing this varies between browsers. Please refer to the help documentation for your specific browser for detailed instructions. Common browser controls are accessible at the following locations:

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Please be aware that blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, will impair the functionality of our website and may prevent you from making effective use of certain features. We therefore recommend selectively blocking non-essential cookies rather than all cookies.

4.3 Third-Party Opt-Out Tools

For analytics cookies set by Google Analytics, you can opt out of tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and gtag.js) from sending information to Google Analytics about your visit activity.

4.4 Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal, which is an HTTP header that notifies websites that you prefer not to be tracked across the web. We note this signal where sent by your browser. However, as there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to Do Not Track signals, our website does not currently alter its behaviour in response to such signals. We will review this position as standards in this area develop.

5. Consequences of Disabling Cookies

If you choose to disable or delete cookies through your browser settings or through our consent tool, please be aware of the following consequences:

  • Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without preventing the website from functioning correctly. Disabling these cookies may mean that forms on our website do not operate as expected.
  • If you disable analytics cookies, we will not be able to include your visit in our website usage data. This will not affect your ability to use the website but will reduce the accuracy of our analytics.
  • If you clear all cookies from your browser, your cookie consent preferences will be reset and you will be asked to set them again on your next visit.
  • Deleting cookies set during a browsing session will log you out of any session-based functionality and may reset your place within any multi-step process on the website.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Embedded Content

Our website may include content embedded from or linked to third-party services, such as map embeds (provided by Google Maps) and video embeds. When you interact with such embedded content, third-party cookies may be placed on your device by those services. We do not have direct control over cookies set by third parties, and you should refer to the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third-party providers for information about how they use cookies.

In particular, the use of Google Maps embeds on our contact page means that Google may set cookies when you view our embedded map. Google's Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy, available at google.com/policies/privacy, provide more information about Google's data practices.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We review and update this Cookie Policy periodically, particularly where we make changes to the third-party services we use or where new guidance is issued by the Information Commissioner's Office or other relevant authorities. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies.

Where changes to this policy are material — for example, where we begin using a new category of cookie — we will provide a prominent notice on our website and, where required by applicable law, seek your consent before placing the new cookies.
