What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file which is stored on your computer. It allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user.  Cookies are created when you use your browser to visit a website to keep track of your movements within the site, help you resume where you left off, remember things like login information, preferences, theme selections, and other functions that you can customize.  Cookies that are set by Vodia are considered “first party cookies”. So in the case of login information for example, that would be considered a “first party cookie”.  There are also “third party cookies”.  These are related to features or functionality provided through the website for the use of things like advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it is visiting the Vodia website and also when it is visiting other websites.

How and why are cookies used?

Vodia uses cookies for several reasons.  Some of the cookies we use are specifically for technical reasons.  They are used to make sure that our websites operate effectively for our users.  Additionally, we use cookies in the hope to make sure that we are able to understand the behaviors of the types of users we have, geographic locations, and other demographic information to help us better market advertisements in the markets that we work in.  This information is aggregated and is never used to specifically target individual people. The various types of cookies are as follows: Essential, performance & functionality, analytics & customization, and advertising. Essential cookies are used simply to provide the user with services available through our websites. Performance & functionality cookies are used to enhance the performance of our websites, but are not necessarily ‘essential’.  Analytics and customization cookies collect information that is used to help us understand the ways that our website is being used. Advertising cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. It is important to note that we do not have advertising on our websites, but third party cookies might be enabled on your system that will allow this
