Cookie Notice
This Cookie Notice explains how Vue Solutions Ltd (“Vue Solutions”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://vuesolutions.co.uk.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Notice, which explains more broadly how we use personal information.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website work, remember choices, improve security or measure how the website is used.
Similar technologies can include browser storage, scripts, tags and pixels. In this notice, we use “cookies” as a convenient shorthand for cookies and comparable storage or access technologies used through the website.
2. The categories we use
Necessary
These technologies are needed for the website, security, consent management or other core technical functions to work as intended. They include technologies used to remember your cookie choice, maintain website and deployment functionality, manage sessions and protect the website and forms against automated activity.
Necessary technologies cannot be switched off through our cookie controls where they are required to provide the website or a service you have requested. You may still be able to block them through your browser, but doing so can affect how the website works.
Statistics
With your permission, we use Statistics technologies to understand how visitors find and use the website. Our Statistics category currently includes Google Analytics 4 (GA4). This can provide information such as pages viewed, approximate visit timing, device and browser information, referring pages and interactions with the site.
Google Analytics is blocked unless you give Statistics consent. If you reject optional cookies, GA4 remains blocked and its analytics cookies are not loaded.
Cookiebot also presents Preferences and Marketing categories in its controls. We do not currently use any technologies classified as Preferences or Marketing on the Vue Solutions public website.
3. Cookies currently used
Cookiebot scans the live Vue Solutions website periodically. The table below summarises the technologies currently in use. The published website should also display Cookiebot’s live cookie declaration so visitors can see the latest detected cookies and trackers, their provider, purpose, category and duration where available.
| Cookie / storage | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CookieConsent | Cookiebot / Usercentrics | Remembers your cookie choice and helps apply it across the website. | Up to 12 months, subject to configuration. | Necessary |
| SESS#, __dpl, __cf_bm, cf.turnstile.u | Vue Solutions website infrastructure / Lovable / Cloudflare | Session, deployment-routing, security and bot-protection functions needed to operate and protect the website and forms. | Varies by technology; see the live Cookiebot declaration. | Necessary |
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Helps distinguish one browser from another so aggregated website-use statistics can be produced. | Up to 2 years by default; may be shorter depending on browser or configuration. | Statistics — only after consent |
| _ga_# | Google Analytics 4 | Maintains measurement and session state for GA4. | Up to 2 years by default; may be shorter depending on browser or configuration. | Statistics — only after consent |
4. How to choose or change your cookie preferences
When you first visit the website, the cookie banner lets you accept all optional cookies, reject optional cookies, or manage your choices by category.
Rejecting optional cookies does not stop you using the main Vue Solutions website or accessing information and services that do not depend on those technologies.
You can change or withdraw your decision later using the “Cookie settings” control available on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of anything done before you changed your choice, but it stops future use of technologies that depend on that consent in line with your updated preference.
5. Browser controls
Most browsers also let you view, delete or block cookies through their settings. Browser controls are separate from the preferences you set through our cookie banner.
If you block all cookies or browser storage, including technologies that are strictly necessary, some website features or preference controls may not work as intended.
6. Google Analytics 4
Google Analytics 4 is provided by Google. When you grant Statistics consent, GA4 can use first-party cookies such as _ga and related _ga_ cookies to distinguish browsers, maintain measurement state and produce website-use statistics.
We use this information to understand website performance and patterns of use, for example which pages visitors use and how they move through the website. We do not currently use Google Analytics on this website to run behavioural retargeting or create advertising audiences. If you reject Statistics cookies, Google Analytics remains blocked.
Information processed through Google Analytics may be handled outside the United Kingdom. Our Privacy Notice explains how we approach international transfers and service providers.
7. Third-party learning and payment platforms
The Vue Solutions public website may link you to third-party platforms used to purchase or access learning products, including Thinkific and Hello Audio, with payment functionality provided through Thinkific Payments and its payment infrastructure.
If you follow a link to a service operating on another domain, that service may use its own cookies or similar technologies. Its own cookie or privacy information will apply while you are using that service.
If we later embed third-party learning, payment, video, audio or other functionality directly into vuesolutions.co.uk and that changes the technologies used on your device, we will update this notice and the consent controls as needed.
8. Changes to this Cookie Notice
We may update this notice when the website, analytics setup, consent platform or other technologies change. The latest version will be published on this page and the date at the top will show when it was last updated.
We use Cookiebot to scan the live website periodically so that the cookie information reflects technologies actually in use rather than a generic list of technologies that might be used.
