Using Vyvo digital platform some cookies will be stored on your computer to optimize improve your experience on our websites and apps. About Cookies on this Vyvo digital platform Vyvo has created this page to explain our use of cookies. We think it is important to protect your privacy and be open about how we use your data. This information is to keep you informed and to help you enjoy our websites and apps.

What are cookies?
—
A cookie is simply a tiny text file containing pieces of data, stored when you visit a website or app. It is designed to help websites and apps remember what you did in the past. This can include whether you clicked on particular links or pages, logged into your profile, or read pages on the site months, or even years, ago.

There are different types of cookies and without these, websites, apps and other digital services could not function in the way you have got used to. For example, without the cookie to validate your log in, the website would not know to display your profile. Or the website would need to deliver a message every time saying’ sorry, you need to log in’ as it wouldn’t remember who you are.

Vyvo websites and apps use particular cookies to give you the best possible experience, and use only cookies that we think are necessary and helpful. We detail the cookies we use so you can decide if you are happy, or if you would rather delete existing cookies, or even disable the use of cookies on our websites and apps altogether.

Performance Cookies

Targeting Cookies
—
These deliver adverts or messages relevant to you and your interests. Sometimes targeting cookies are linked to other sites, such as Facebook. Our “Targeting Cookies” to:
a. Link to social networks like Facebook. They might then use this information to target advertising at you.

You can decide whether or not these cookies are used, but stopping them might mean we can’t offer you some services. All of these cookies are managed by other companies, so you can also use their own tools to stop them.

Within these three categorizations of cookie, cookies are sorted as either temporary (“Session Cookies”) or more long-term (“Persistent Cookies”). “Session Cookies” link your actions in one session only. This “Session” starts when the webpage or app is opened and finishes when it is closed. Then the cookie is deleted forever. “Persistent” cookies are where the cookie remains on your phone or computer for a specific period of time. They are activated automatically when you visit a particular website or app. One other difference is if the cookie is a ‘first-party cookie’ or a “third-party” cookie. A first-party cookie is set by the Vyvo website or app you’re visiting, whereas a ‘third-party’ cookie is set by someone else. Vyvo will only ever allow third-party cookies that are approved by the brand.
