What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as browser storage and tracking pixels, work in a similar way. This page explains the ones used on www.vibidsoft.com and our blog. For how we handle personal data in general, see our Privacy Policy.
How we ask for consent
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, analytics and marketing tools stay off until you accept them in the banner. Until then they run in a cookieless mode that sends no identifiers. Strictly necessary cookies are always on, because the site and contact form cannot work safely without them.
Elsewhere, analytics and marketing tools are on by default, and you can turn them off at any time below.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and opt out of Google Analytics on all websites with Google's browser add-on. Some browsers send a "Global Privacy Control" signal; we treat it as a request to turn off marketing tools.
