1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed and stored on your device (such as your computer, tablet, or mobile phone) by websites that you visit. They are a fundamental tool used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and remember user preferences. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser. They can also be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than the one you are visiting).
2. How and Why We Use Cookies
The Vortex VR website uses cookies for several important purposes, which we have categorized below. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site or using our booking form. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. Because they are necessary for the site's operation, they are always active and do not require your consent.
- Performance and Analytical Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website. For instance, they tell us which pages visitors go to most often, how they move around the site, and if they get error messages from web pages. We use this aggregated, non-personal data to understand traffic patterns, diagnose problems, and improve the overall user experience. We use third-party services like Google Analytics for this purpose. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they can be used to remember your cookie consent preferences so you are not asked again on your next visit. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Marketing and Targeting Cookies (if applicable): While we currently focus on the cookies above, in the future we may use marketing cookies to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They would also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. They would be placed by advertising networks with our permission. If we implement these, this policy will be updated accordingly, and we will require your explicit consent.
3. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-parties' cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. Specifically, our site uses Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the site. You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
