Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how VeritOps uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember preferences, understand usage patterns, and enable certain features. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by our website) or "third-party" (set by other domains like Google Analytics). "Session" cookies are deleted when you close your browser; "persistent" cookies remain for a set period.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for: website functionality (essential cookies for security and session management); analytics and performance (understanding how visitors use our site); and preference retention (remembering your choices like cookie consent).

Cookie Categories

Essential Cookies (Always Active)

Essential cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They enable basic functions like navigation, secure areas, and session management. They do not store personally identifiable information beyond technical necessity.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting page views, traffic sources, time on pages, and navigation patterns. We use Google Analytics with the following privacy settings: IP anonymization enabled (truncates your IP before transmission); data retention set to 26 months; and advertising features disabled.

For information about how Google uses this data, visit Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Marketing Cookies

As of this policy's effective date, VeritOps does not use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not engage in retargeting, behavioral advertising, or cross-site tracking. If this changes, we will update this policy and our consent mechanism.

Your Cookie Choices

Cookie Consent Tool

When you first visit, a cookie banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is recorded in a first-party cookie. If you accept analytics cookies, tracking scripts are enabled. If you decline, they are not loaded.

Change preferences anytime via the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer. When you change from accept to decline, new cookies of that type stop being set, but existing cookies remain until they expire or you delete them via browser settings.

Browser Controls

You can also control cookies through your browser. Note that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Browser help pages:

Do Not Track Signals

Our website does not currently respond differently to browser Do Not Track signals. Use our cookie consent tool or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on to limit tracking.

Third-Party Data Sharing

When you consent to analytics cookies, Google receives data about your visit, processed on servers that may be in the United States. We have a data processing agreement with Google prohibiting use of your data for their own purposes. We do not sell cookie data or share it for third-party marketing.

California Residents

We do not sell personal information collected through cookies. We do not share information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We use Google Analytics solely for our own website analysis. California residents may still decline analytics cookies via our consent tool. For more on California privacy rights, see our Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. We will post updates and revise the "Last Updated" date. For material changes, we will provide prominent notice and may reset your preferences so you can make new choices.
