Cookies Policy
Please read this cookie policy carefully as it contains important information on how we use cookies on our website vettedbuilder.com, vettedbuilder.co.uk and mobile application (Platform). This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which sets out who we are, how to contact us, what data is collected through the Platform and Marketplace services, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information, as well as your rights in relation to your personal information and details of how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a complaint.
1. Cookies
A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your device (e.g. your smartphone or other electronic device) when you use the Platform. We use a cookie consent banner and a cookie settings tool when you first visit the Platform to inform you about our use of cookies and similar technologies and to obtain your consent for non-essential cookies (such as analytics, functionality and marketing cookies) where required by law. Non-essential cookies are not set unless and until you choose to enable them.
Cookies help us to recognise you and your device and allow us to store some information about your preferences or past actions and remember your preferences next time you use the Platform.
For example, through analytics tools, we monitor how many times you visit our Platform, which sections or pages you view, etc. This information helps us improve the Platform's performance. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually.
For further information on our use of cookies and similar technologies, including the categories of cookies we use and how you can manage your preferences, please see below. For information about how we process personal data more generally (including personal data collected through cookies where they involve personal data), please see our Privacy Policy.
For further information on cookies generally, including how to control and manage them, visit the guidance on cookies published by the UK Information Commissioner's Office at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies/ as well as www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
2. Consent to use cookies and changing settings
We will ask for your consent to place non-essential cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where they are strictly necessary for us to provide you with a service that you have requested or for the Platform to work properly (e.g. to allow you to remain logged-in as you navigate within the Platform and use its core functionalities). We categorise cookies as: strictly necessary, analytics, functionality and marketing (see section 3 below).
You can withdraw your consent or manage your cookie preferences at any time by using the cookie settings or preferences tool made available within the Platform (for example, via the cookie banner, a persistent cookie icon/link, the footer link "Cookie settings", and/or within in-app settings, where available). You can then adjust the toggles as appropriate for analytics, functionality and marketing cookies. Your updated choices should take effect promptly; it may be necessary to refresh or restart the Platform for the updated settings to take effect.
3. Our use of cookies
We use the following cookies:
- Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Platform. These cookies are always enabled because the Platform will not work properly without them. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of the Platform or make use of requested services. You can switch off these cookies in your browser or device settings but then you may not be able to access all or parts of the Platform.
- Analytics cookies: These cookies allow us to track metrics such as visitor counts, page views and user journeys. This helps us understand how users interact with our Platform and services, analyse what content and features are most useful, and improve performance and user experience. These cookies will only be used where you have provided your consent (unless they are strictly necessary, which analytics cookies are not).
- Functionality cookies: These are used to recognise when you return to our Platform. They help remember preferences and settings you choose (for example, language, region, display preferences and similar) and improve your experience. These cookies will only be used where you have provided your consent (unless they are strictly necessary for a service you have requested).
- Marketing cookies: These cookies (including those used for advertising, retargeting and conversion measurement services, such as the Meta Pixel and Google Ads, where implemented) may record your viewing behaviour and interactions with the Platform, but only if you have provided consent for such tracking where required by law. We use this information to measure the effectiveness of our marketing and to help deliver content and advertising that may be more relevant to you.
4. How to turn off all cookies and consequences of doing so
If you do not want to accept any cookies, you may be able to change your browser, device or operating system settings so that cookies are not accepted. However, please note that certain cookies are strictly necessary for core functionality of the Platform and disabling cookies may prevent parts of the Platform from working properly. For further information about cookies and how to disable them please go to the guidance on cookies published by the UK Information Commissioner's Office at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies/ as well as www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
