This page explains how Vegashero review portal uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit vegashero-be.com. We'll cover what gets stored on your device, why it's there, and how you can control it.
What cookies mean here
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. It helps the site remember your preferences, keep you logged into certain features, and understand how visitors move through the content. Cookies can be set by us directly (first-party) or by external services we've embedded on the site (third-party).
Some are essential – without them, parts of the site simply won't work. Others help us see which pages get read most often, or which topics draw the most interest. You're in control of the non-essential ones.
What this portal sets and for how long
We use a handful of categories, each with its own purpose and lifespan:
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Keep the site navigable and secure – session IDs, CSRF tokens, consent state | Session or up to 1 year |
| Analytics | Anonymous traffic data – which pages are visited, bounce rate, time on site | Up to 2 years |
| Preference | Remember your choices – language, layout toggles, dismissed notices | Up to 1 year |
| Marketing | Track visits across sites for ad targeting (where applicable) | Up to 13 months |
Necessary cookies run automatically – they're what let you move between pages without losing your place, or submit a contact form without the request being forged. Analytics, preference and marketing cookies need your consent first, which you give (or withhold) via the banner that appears on your first visit.
Scripts we don't control
The site embeds a few external tools – Google Analytics for traffic stats, possibly an advertising network if we're running affiliate campaigns. Each of those services may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy. We've configured them to anonymise IP addresses where possible, but the fact remains: when you consent to analytics or marketing cookies, you're allowing those third parties to place trackers.
Good to know: if you've opted out at the network level (via Google's ad settings, for instance), that opt-out carries over here too. Our consent banner respects those signals.
Turning them off in your browser
Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, either across the board or site by site. Here's where to find the controls:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Blocking everything will break some features – you won't stay logged into the contact form, for example, and the consent banner will reappear every time you visit. Blocking just the analytics and marketing categories leaves the site fully functional; you simply won't contribute to our traffic reports.
Your consent and what happens without it
When you first land on vegashero-be.com, a banner asks whether you accept optional cookies. Say yes and the analytics script loads; say no and it doesn't. Essential cookies run either way – they're not negotiable, because the site relies on them to work at all.
You can withdraw consent later by clearing your cookies in the browser, or by clicking the consent-management link in the footer (if we've built one in). Withdrawing consent stops new tracking; it doesn't delete data already collected, but that data becomes anonymous after a set period anyway.
When this policy changes
We'll update this page if we add a new tracking tool, change retention periods, or respond to new legal requirements. The revised text appears here immediately; we won't email you about minor edits, but any substantial change – like introducing a new third-party service – gets a notice at the top of the page for 30 days.
