Cookie Policy
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies used on veridict.click. Read this with our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves in your browser. Cookies are widely used to make sites work, to remember preferences between visits, and (less benignly) to track behaviour across the web. Veridict uses the first kind, not the third.
Cookies we set
- vd_session — first-party, session-only. Holds your theme preference and consent state for the duration of the browser session. Strictly necessary; cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
- vd_consent — first-party, persists 12 months. Records that you've seen the consent banner so we don't show it on every page load.
Cookies we don't set
We don't use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social-media trackers, or behavioural-analytics tools that build cross-site profiles. We don't operate a Facebook Pixel, a Google Ads tag, or an X/Twitter conversion pixel on this site.
Analytics
For aggregate traffic analytics we use a privacy-preserving setup that runs on our own infrastructure and does not set client-side cookies, does not collect IP addresses beyond truncation, and does not export raw event data to a third party.
How to manage cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Most major browsers also offer "tracking protection" or "Do Not Track" signals; we honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a request to opt out of any "sale" or "share" of personal information under the CCPA — not that we engage in either.
Updates
If we change the cookies we set, this page will be updated and the "last updated" date above will change.
