Cookie policy
What cookies are
Small files a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work. Others record how the site is used, or help measure advertising. You control everything except the first category.
Strictly necessary
Set without consent, because the site cannot function without them.
- vv_consent — stores your cookie choices so we do not ask again. Set by this site. Duration: 6 months.
Analytics
Set only with your consent. They tell us which pages people find useful and where they leave.
- _ga and _ga_<id> — tell returning visits apart and keep track of a session — set by Google Analytics — duration up to 13 months.
Advertising
Set only with your consent. Used to measure our advertising campaigns and, where you have agreed, to personalise the ads you see.
- _gcl_au — records that an ad click led to a visit, so we can measure our advertising — set by Google Ads — duration 90 days.
These are written only after you accept advertising cookies. If we add or change a tool, we update this list before it goes live.
Affiliate tracking
When you click through to a VPN provider, our affiliate network may set a cookie or append an identifier to the destination URL so that a resulting subscription is credited to us. This happens on the network's domain and the provider's domain, not ours. The network we use is Conversion Cowboys.
