This policy explains how cookies and similar browser technologies work when you use Vegashero. It covers the information these technologies can store, the choices available to you and the effect that blocking them may have on the site.
What a cookie is here
A cookie is a small piece of data placed in your browser by a website. It can preserve a preference, support a core feature or record information about the visit. Your browser stores cookies locally and sends the relevant data back when the site requests it.
Cookies may be session-based, meaning they disappear when you close the browser, or they may have a set expiry date. Similar technologies include browser storage and scripts that remember information during a visit. Which storage method applies depends on the feature involved.
Which ones this portal sets
The categories below describe the purposes for which cookies and similar technologies may be used across this site. No particular cookie name should be assumed to be present; the active cookies depend on the page and the settings you choose.
| Category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Necessary | Supports core functions such as remembering a choice, maintaining a secure connection and keeping the site working. |
| Analytics | Helps us understand which pages are visited and how the site performs, subject to your consent where required. |
| Marketing and advertising | May support campaign measurement and the delivery of relevant advertising, subject to your consent where required. |
| Preference | Remembers settings such as language or display choices so they can be applied on your next visit. |
Consent controls, where shown, let you accept or reject optional categories. Necessary technologies remain available because the corresponding features cannot work reliably without them.
Third-party scripts
Some pages may load content or services from external providers. These services may place cookies or use similar technologies when they receive a request from your browser. Their handling of that information is governed by their own policies.
Third-party scripts can also affect performance and page loading. If you block them through your browser, some embedded content may appear incomplete or may not load at all.
Turning them off in the browser
You can review and change cookie settings in Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. The available controls vary by browser and version, but the usual route is through Settings, Privacy or Site settings. Look for the controls covering cookies, site data and tracking protection.
Blocking all cookies can remove preferences and interrupt features that depend on stored information. Blocking third-party cookies can leave embedded content unavailable. You can also remove existing site data, although the site may then treat your next visit as a new one.
