Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 10 June 2026
This page explains how Vestapath uses cookies and similar small data files on our website. It covers what they are, why we use them, and the choices available to you. Reading through should take just a few minutes, and the controls further down let you adjust your preferences at any point.
If you have questions about anything here, please reach out to us at [email protected].
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain things — such as whether you have already seen a consent notice — so that your next visit is a little smoother.
Cookies do not run programmes or carry viruses. They are simply a way for websites to keep a note of basic preferences or session details. You can view, manage, and delete them at any time through your browser settings.
Not all cookies are the same. Some are placed by us; others come from third-party services we include on our pages, such as an embedded map. The sections below describe each category and how long each type typically stays active.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always Active
These are needed for the site to work correctly. They include your cookie preference itself (stored in your browser's local storage so you are not asked repeatedly) and basic session management. Without them, certain parts of the site would not function as expected.
Examples: cookieConsent (local storage), session identifier
Duration: Session or up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies
Optional
These help us understand how visitors move through our pages — which sections are read most often, how long people stay, and where they tend to leave. This information is collected in an aggregated form, meaning no individual is identified. We use it purely to improve the clarity of our workshop materials and site layout.
Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid)
Duration: Up to 2 years
Marketing Cookies
Optional
These may be set by advertising platforms we use to share news about our workshops with people who have shown an interest in related topics. They help ensure that the same notice does not appear to someone repeatedly. We do not use them to build detailed personal profiles.
Examples: Google Ads (_gcl_au), social platform pixels
Duration: 30 days to 13 months
Preference Cookies
Optional
These remember small choices you make on the site — such as your language selection or display settings — so you do not need to re-select them each visit. Disabling them simply means those settings will reset when you next open the page.
Examples: Language preference, display settings
Duration: Up to 12 months
Your Cookie Preferences
Use the toggles above to choose which optional cookie categories you are comfortable with, then save your selection. You can return to this page and update your choices at any time.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by external services we embed or link to. These include:
- Google Maps — used on our homepage to show our workshop location. Google may set cookies when the map is loaded. Their privacy practices are governed by Google's own policy.
- Google Analytics — if analytics cookies are accepted, Google Analytics collects aggregated visitor statistics on our behalf.
- Social media platforms — if marketing cookies are accepted, platforms such as Meta may set cookies related to any advertisements we run there.
We have no control over third-party cookies once they are set by those services. We recommend reading the respective privacy and cookie policies of any third party whose services appear on our pages.
Cookie Duration
Session Cookies
These are temporary and are removed from your device as soon as you close your browser tab. They hold no information after your session ends.
Persistent Cookies
These remain until they expire (typically 30 days to 2 years) or until you delete them. They allow the site to recognise returning visitors and respect saved preferences.
