1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language and other settings, so that your next visit can be easier and more useful.

Cookies can be "first-party" (set by VendVice) or "third-party" (set by a service we use, like an analytics provider). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which stay until they expire or you delete them).

2. How We Use Cookies

VendVice uses cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential operations: keeping you signed in, securing your session, and remembering your preferences
  • Analytics: understanding how visitors use our website so we can improve it
  • Performance: measuring page load times and detecting errors
  • Marketing: measuring the effectiveness of our advertising and outreach (only when you consent)

3. Types of Cookies We Use

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use to make the site work better and to understand our audience. These third parties may collect information about you across different websites. We currently use:

  • Google Analytics — for website usage analytics (privacy policy)
  • Cloudflare — for security, caching, and performance (privacy policy)
  • Stripe — for payment processing (privacy policy)

We do not control these third parties or their use of cookies. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies for more information.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options to control or limit how we and third parties use cookies:

Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete them from your device. The exact steps depend on the browser you use:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

Please note that if you block essential cookies, parts of the VendVice platform may not function properly.

Opt-out tools

For analytics and advertising cookies, you can also use industry opt-out tools:

  • Google Analytics Opt-out
  • Your Online Choices (EU)
  • Digital Advertising Alliance (US)

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry standard for how to interpret DNT signals, we currently do not respond to them. You can still control cookies using the methods described above.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the platform.
