Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. This page explains which cookies BrandVault uses and how you can control them.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include cookies that remember your comment details if you ask us to, keep you logged in if you have an account, and protect forms from abuse. They do not store personal data beyond what is needed for these functions.

Analytics cookies

If analytics is enabled on this site, these cookies help us understand how visitors use pages in aggregate – which articles are read, where visitors arrive from, and how the site performs. We configure analytics to anonymise IP addresses. You can opt out through your browser or through the consent banner where one is shown.

Affiliate cookies

When you click a link to a brand, the brand or its affiliate network may set a cookie to attribute any purchase to BrandVault. These cookies are set by the third party on their domain, are governed by their privacy policy, and typically expire after 1-30 days.

Embedded content

Articles may embed videos or other content from third-party platforms. Those platforms may set their own cookies when the content loads. We use privacy-enhanced embeds where the platform offers them.

Managing cookies

You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works. Instructions for common browsers are available from their makers.

Changes

We update this page when our use of cookies changes. See the “last updated” date above.
