Cookie Policy
Orchid Vault · Last Updated: 18 March 2026 · Effective: 18 March 2026
This page explains how Orchid Vault uses cookies on our website, what each type of cookie does, and how you can manage or withdraw your preferences at any time. We aim to keep our use of cookies straightforward and limited to what supports the functioning of this site.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your visit — such as whether you have accepted the cookie notice — and to gather anonymised data about how pages are used. They do not contain personally identifiable information on their own, and they do not run programmes or install software.
Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can configure your browser to decline cookies or to alert you when cookies are being placed. Declining certain cookies may affect how some features of this site function.
2. Cookies We Use
We use a small number of cookies, organised into the following categories:
3. Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC. When analytics cookies are active, Google may receive data about your visit in accordance with their privacy practices. We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled, which means your IP address is truncated before any data is processed. We do not use Google Analytics advertising features.
For information on how Google handles data collected through Google Analytics, see Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Managing Your Preferences
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Cookie notice: When you first visit this site, a notice allows you to accept or decline optional cookies. Your choice is stored for 12 months.
- Preference centre: You can revisit and update your cookie settings at any time using the button below. Changing your preference takes effect immediately for future page loads.
- Browser settings: All major browsers allow you to manage, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works.
- Third-party opt-outs: You can opt out of Google Analytics measurement using the add-on linked in Section 3 above, independently of settings on this site.
Your preference has been saved.
