Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 25, 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files, and similar technologies like localStorage, that a website
stores in your browser. They let a site remember your choices and understand how it is used. Some are
essential for the site to work; others are optional and run only if you allow them.
2. How we use them
Strictly necessary (always on)
These are required for the site to function and to remember your privacy choices. They cannot be switched off. For example, we store your cookie consent and whether you dismissed the announcement bar.
- vf_cookie — remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics.
- vf_announce — remembers that you dismissed the announcement banner.
Analytics (optional — consent required)
With your consent, we use analytics to understand aggregate usage (such as pages visited and general device type) so we can improve the site. These are set only after you choose "Accept analytics" in the consent banner, and not if you decline.
3. Managing your choices
You can accept or decline analytics any time using the consent banner. To change a previous choice, clear this site's storage in your browser settings — the banner will appear again on your next visit. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser's privacy controls, though strictly necessary items are needed for the site to work properly.
4. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. We will revise the "Last updated" date above when we do.
