At VISION, we believe you should understand how the websites and services you use handle information.
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, why they may be used on the VISION website, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your device when you visit them. They can help a website remember information about your visit, maintain certain functionality, and understand how people interact with its pages.
Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, pixels, and other tools that store or access information on your device.
These technologies do not all work in the same way, and different legal requirements may apply depending on their purpose.
2. Why We May Use Cookies
Depending on the technologies implemented on our website, VISION may use cookies or similar technologies for the following purposes.
Essential cookies
These support core website functionality, security, session management, and other features necessary for the website to operate.
Where permitted by law, strictly necessary technologies may be used without consent because they are required to provide a service you have requested.
Preference cookies
These help remember choices such as language, display preferences, or cookie settings, where those features are available.
Analytics cookies
These may help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages receive attention, and where the experience could be improved.
Non-essential analytics technologies will be used only in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
Marketing cookies
If implemented, these may be used to measure advertising effectiveness or support relevant marketing activities.
We will seek consent where required by applicable law before using non-essential marketing cookies or similar technologies.
We do not assume that all these categories are active on every version of the VISION website.
3. Cookies and the VISION Browser
The cookies used by the VISION website should be distinguished from information stored by the VISION browser itself.
When you browse third-party websites through VISION, those websites may use their own cookies, tracking technologies, and local storage mechanisms.
The availability of controls for managing website cookies depends on the browser version and its implemented features.
VISION Pro may also use local storage to support workspaces and saved information. Local application storage is not necessarily a cookie, and its purpose and handling may differ from those of website cookies.
For information about how we handle personal information more broadly, please read our Privacy Policy.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Where the website uses non-essential cookies or similar technologies that require consent, you should be able to make an informed choice through the available cookie preference controls.
Depending on the consent mechanism implemented, you may be able to:
- Accept all optional cookies.
- Reject non-essential cookies.
- Select individual categories of cookies.
- Change or withdraw your consent later.
Essential technologies may continue to operate where they are necessary to provide the website or a service you have requested.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to view, block, or delete stored cookies.
Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality or prevent some preferences from being remembered.
Changing browser settings does not necessarily remove all forms of locally stored information or withdraw consent recorded by a website.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some website functionality may be provided by third parties, such as analytics, video, support, or other embedded services.
If these services use cookies or similar technologies, their practices may be governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
Where required, we will obtain appropriate consent before allowing non-essential third-party technologies to operate.
We encourage you to review the policies of third-party providers whose services you choose to use.
6. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies may be classified as:
- Session cookies: generally removed when the relevant browsing session ends.
- Persistent cookies: remain on a device for a specified period or until they are deleted.
The duration depends on the individual cookie and the purpose for which it is used.
We aim to ensure that cookies and similar technologies are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for their intended purpose, subject to applicable legal requirements.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy as our website, technologies, or legal obligations change.
Any revised version will be published on this page with an updated date.
