Last Updated: December 1, 2023

This Cookie Policy explains how Vital Digitalist Media ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at vitaldigitaalisst.media. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Vital Digitalist Media) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.

5. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies:

• Web Beacons: Small graphic images that may be included on our site and emails that allow us to monitor user behavior
• Local Storage: Technology that allows a website to store information locally on your device
• Session Storage: Similar to local storage but limited to a single browser session
• Pixel Tags: Tiny graphic images with unique identifiers that track online movements

6. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by:

Browser Controls

You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version.

Cookie Consent Tool

We provide a cookie consent tool that allows you to selectively opt-out of certain categories of cookies, except for those that are strictly necessary for the website to function.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Currently, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.

8. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third parties on our website to provide additional functionality and services. These third parties may set their own cookies to provide their services, and their use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies.

9. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
