1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners.
In addition to traditional cookies, websites may also use similar technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage, which store data locally in your browser. This Cookie Policy covers both cookies and these related storage mechanisms as used on our website.
2. How we use cookies
We take a minimal approach to cookies. Our website does not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies. We only use cookies and local storage in two categories: essential/necessary, and analytics (with your consent).
2.1 Essential / Necessary cookies
These cookies and storage items are strictly necessary for the website to function. They do not require your consent under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive because the site cannot operate properly without them.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
veratlas_cookies |
localStorage | Stores your cookie consent preference so we do not show the cookie banner on every visit | Persistent (until you clear browser data) |
We do not set any other first-party cookies for session management or website functionality at this time.
2.2 Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are visited most, how long visitors spend on the site, and what referral sources bring visitors to us. This helps us improve the website and our services.
Google Analytics is only loaded after you explicitly consent via our cookie banner. If you decline or ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are set and no data is sent to Google.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics | Maintains session state | 2 years |
Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time — see section 4 below.
2.3 Advertising and third-party tracking cookies
We do not use any advertising cookies, remarketing pixels, or third-party tracking cookies on this website. We do not participate in any ad networks and we do not build advertising profiles based on your browsing behaviour.
3. Third-party services
Our website may embed or link to third-party services (such as Calendly for scheduling calls). When you interact with these services, they may set their own cookies according to their own cookie policies. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you use through our site.
4. How to manage and delete cookies
You have full control over which cookies are stored on your device. Here are several ways to manage them:
4.1 Our cookie banner
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear asking for your consent to analytics cookies. You can accept or decline. If you previously accepted and want to change your preference, you can:
- Clear the
veratlas_cookieskey from your browser's localStorage (via Developer Tools > Application > Local Storage), which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit - Clear all site data for veratlas.com in your browser settings
4.2 Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View and delete individual cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set
- Clear all cookies and site data when you close the browser
Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
4.3 Google Analytics opt-out
In addition to declining cookies through our banner, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data across all websites you visit.
5. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will re-request your cookie consent where required.
We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
