This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Vistammerce uses cookies on vistammerce.com, and the options you have to control them. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. 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 by website owners to make their websites work, to work more efficiently, or to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Vistammerce) 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.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate; others enable us to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it; and others help us deliver relevant information to our visitors.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration
vm_cookie_consent	Stores your cookie consent preference	12 months
XSRF-TOKEN	Security: protects against cross-site request forgery	Session

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration
_ga	Google Analytics: distinguishes unique users	2 years
_ga_*	Google Analytics: maintains session state	2 years
_gid	Google Analytics: identifies a user session	24 hours

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your language preference or previously entered form data. They may be set by us or by third-party providers.

4. How to Control Cookies

You have several options to control or limit how we and our partners use cookies:

4.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept all cookies or decline optional cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies for our domain.

4.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to:

Block all cookies
Block third-party cookies only
Notify you when a cookie is set
Delete cookies when you close the browser

Please be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and many other websites.

4.4 Google Analytics Opt-Out

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing tracked. Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-wide standard for DNT compliance. We encourage you to use the opt-out mechanisms described above.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
