VCEverywhere Limited also trades as AVEverywhere. AVEverywhere is a trading division of VCEverywhere Limited and is not a separate legal entity. This Cookie Policy explains how VCEverywhere Limited uses cookies and similar storage and access technologies on the VCEverywhere and AVEverywhere websites. The same policy applies when you interact with either brand.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on a device. Similar technologies can include local storage, tracking pixels, scripts, tags, link decoration and other technologies that store information on, or access information from, a user’s device. In this policy, we refer to these collectively as “cookies and similar technologies”.
2. How we use cookies
We use, or may use, cookies and similar technologies to operate and secure the website, remember choices, understand how the website is used and, where enabled, support embedded content or marketing functionality. We will not activate non-exempt cookies or similar technologies before obtaining consent where consent is required by law.
3. Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Consent | Typical duration |

| Preferences / functionality | Remember optional choices or provide enhanced website functionality. | Consent where the technology is not exempt. | Depends on the function and provider. |

4. Cookies currently used on our websites
The cookies and similar technologies used on the VCEverywhere and AVEverywhere websites may differ and may change from time to time as website functionality and service providers change.
Details of the cookies and similar technologies currently in use, including their provider, purpose, category and duration where applicable, are available through the cookie settings or cookie information provided on the relevant website.
We periodically review the cookies and similar technologies used on our websites to ensure that the information we provide remains accurate and up to date.
5. Your choices
Where consent is required, you can choose whether to allow optional cookies and similar technologies. You can accept or reject optional cookies and, where available, manage individual categories through the cookie settings provided on the relevant website.
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time through the website’s cookie settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.
You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies may affect the operation or functionality of the website.
6. Analytics and measurement
If we use analytics or audience-measurement technologies, we assess whether a current legal exception applies. Where the conditions for an exception are not met, the technology will remain disabled until consent is given. Where personal information is processed, our Privacy Policy also applies.
7. Third-party technologies
Some website features may be provided by third parties. Where a third party sets or accesses information on your device through the relevant VCEverywhere or AVEverywhere website, we will provide appropriate information and obtain consent where required. Third parties may process information under their own privacy notices.
8. How long cookies remain on your device
Some technologies operate only for a browser session; others remain for a defined period. We set or configure durations so that they are appropriate for the purpose. The current duration for each technology should be shown in the website’s cookie settings / current cookie table.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this policy when our website, technologies, suppliers or legal requirements change. We will publish the current version on the VCEverywhere and AVEverywhere websites. We also review the technologies used on the website periodically and when material website changes are made.
