Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 12 June 2025
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site operator about how the site is being used. Cookies do not run programmes or carry viruses. They are simply data files.
Vectra Grove uses a small number of cookies. This page explains which ones, what they do, and how you can control them.
Cookie Types We Use
Essential Cookies always active
Required for the website to function. They handle things like the cookie consent record itself, session continuity, and security. These cannot be disabled without preventing the site from working as intended.
Duration: session or up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies optional
Used to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where visitors come from. This information is aggregated and not linked to personal identity. We use Google Analytics where consent is given.
Duration: up to 14 months
Marketing Cookies optional
Used to track visits across websites for the purpose of displaying relevant advertising. Vectra Grove does not currently run paid advertising but reserves the ability to do so via platforms such as Google Ads. These cookies are set only if consent is given.
Duration: up to 90 days
Preference Cookies optional
Remember choices you make on the site — such as display preferences — so they persist across sessions. Currently used minimally on this site but may be extended as features are added.
Duration: up to 12 months
Third-Party Cookies
Where analytics or marketing cookies are enabled, the following third-party services may set their own cookies:
- Google Analytics — usage analytics (analytics consent required)
- Google Ads — advertising attribution (marketing consent required)
- Meta Pixel — advertising attribution (marketing consent required)
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data collected via their cookies.
Cookie Duration
Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. The consent record we store is a persistent cookie lasting up to 12 months. Analytics cookies placed by Google Analytics typically persist for up to 14 months.
