Cookie Policy for VitalAscent
At VitalAscent, we are committed to transparency and protecting your privacy. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
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, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. They enable the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
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.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes to enhance your experience on VitalAscent. These include:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly.
- Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, such as which pages you visit most often and if you encounter any error messages. This data helps us to improve the performance and usability of our site. These cookies do not collect information that identifies you personally.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission.
Types of Cookies We Use
First-Party Cookies
These are cookies set by VitalAscent itself. They are primarily used to ensure the website functions correctly and to remember your preferences for your current session or future visits. This could include remembering items in your shopping cart or your login status.
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. These cookies are set by domains other than VitalAscent. Examples include cookies from analytics services like Google Analytics or advertising partners.
Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them, helping us remember your preferences for future visits.
