Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 April 2025 · Effective: 14 April 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Veritane uses on this website, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you have accepted a cookie notice — so that your experience functions correctly on a return visit.
Cookies are not programmes; they cannot execute code or carry software. A cookie placed by our website cannot access files on your device, and cookies placed by other sites cannot be read by ours.
2. Cookies We Use
We use a small number of cookies, divided into two categories: essential cookies necessary for the website to function, and optional cookies that help us understand how the site is used.
| Cookie name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
veritane_cookie_consent |
Essential | Stores your cookie consent preference so the notice is not shown on every visit. | 12 months |
_ga |
Analytics | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors and tracks session behaviour in aggregate. No personally identifiable information is collected. | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Analytics | Google Analytics — maintains session state for the GA4 measurement ID associated with this website. | 2 years |
_gid |
Analytics | Google Analytics — distinguishes users across page views within a single day. | 24 hours |
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking. We do not use social media tracking pixels.
3. Essential Cookies
The essential cookie listed above (veritane_cookie_consent) is necessary for the website to function correctly. It does not collect personal data and cannot be disabled. It stores only a value representing your consent choice.
4. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use this website — which pages are read, how long sessions last, and whether visitors arrive from search engines or direct links. This information helps us improve our content and programme descriptions.
All analytics data is processed through Google Analytics and subject to Google's data processing terms. Data is anonymised before transmission; IP addresses are truncated. We do not have access to the identity of individual visitors.
Analytics cookies are only placed on your device if you accept optional cookies when the cookie notice is shown. You may withdraw that consent at any time using the preference panel below.
5. Managing Your Preferences
You may update your cookie preferences at any time using the controls below. Changes take effect immediately. Withdrawing consent for analytics cookies will not affect cookies already placed; you may also clear existing cookies through your browser settings.
6. Browser-Level Controls
All major browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified each time a cookie is set. The process differs by browser; guidance is available in each browser's help documentation:
- 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 → Cookies and data stored
Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of this website function, though all programme content and enquiry functionality will remain available.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics cookies are set by Google LLC, which is a third-party service provider. Google's use of the data collected through these cookies is governed by Google's privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. You may opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Our website includes an embedded Google Maps iframe on the home page, which may set cookies from Google's maps service when that element is loaded. These cookies are set by Google and governed by Google's cookie policy.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable guidance. The current version will always be published on this page. If we introduce new optional cookies, we will re-request your consent through the cookie notice.
