These unifying purposes of the processing cookies include several processing operations, which are described in more detail below:
Security and optimal functioning of the website (necessary and preferences cookies)
Optimal functioning of the website. It concerns the processing of necessary and so-called “preference cookies” that allow us to use your chosen website settings, such as storing consent or disagreement with cookies, or the selected language settings or your configuration of the embedded video player or other active elements.
Website security. This is the processing of necessary cookies that contribute to protection against bots and to the activation of website protection against DoS/DDoS cyber-attacks. When achieving the purpose, cookies from Google ReCaptcha are also used to read and filter robot requests.
Basic measurement of website traffic. This is the processing of necessary cookies, which allow obtaining and evaluating basic statistics on the use of our website for the purposes of improving its performance and availability in case of increased traffic without the possibility of sharing them with a third party and using them for the needs of marketing analytics.
Direct marketing purposes (marketing cookies and statistics cookies)
Ad targeting It is the processing of Marketing cookies and third-party tools (such as Meta) for targeting our advertising campaigns and displaying ads on your profiles set up on social networks or when using the Internet on a regular basis.
Marketing analytics or statistics. This involves the processing of Marketing cookies and Statistics cookies using specialized tools (e.g Google Analytics, Hotjar) to better understand and interpret customer data, the way they use our services and websites, or advertising campaigns and then use them to target advertising. As part of this, customers may also be segmented into different demographic groups to which their ad campaigns are tailored.
We also perform these processing operations based on our legitimate interests, which are:
Website security
Optimal functioning of the website
In justified cases, we may also use the data obtained through cookies for other compatible purposes, which we inform about in the general information on personal data protection, which is available at Vestberry’s Privacy Policy.
What specific cookies do we use and what is their retention period?
You can always find a specific list of all cookies that we use on the Website in its current form in the cookie bar on our website or at this link.
The given list also contains other necessary information, including the lifetime of cookies or the length of their functionality. According to the storage time of cookies in your device or internet browser, cookies can be divided into short-term cookies (so-called session cookies), which are deleted after closing the browser or ending the session, and long-term cookies (so-called persistent cookies), which remain stored in your device and are deleted until after a certain period of time or by actively deleting cookies, which you can do at any time.
You can view the cookie bar at any time by clicking on this active button “Manage Cookies”:
How to revoke your consent to cookies?
Through the interaction with the “Manage cookies”, you will see the cookies bar again, in which you only need to change your original preference to disagreement with one click (see image below).
[Insert print screen when added to website]
The setting changes take effect immediately. You can also revoke your consent by making a request sent to info@vestberry.com, but this process is not immediate and automatic. We, therefore, recommend that you change the settings directly on the website as described above.
How to prevent cookies from being stored on your device?
If you do not give your consent through our cookie bar (in terms of applicable types of cookies), these cookies will not be stored on your device. Disabled marketing and statistics cookies have no impact on the functionality of the website. You can delete all types of cookies at any time through the settings of your internet browser, but if you delete even the necessary cookies, some settings and functions of our website may not work optimally.
In relation to specific cookies of third parties, it is also possible to use the so-called opt-out mechanisms by which you prevent the use of specific third-party cookies not only in relation to our website, but in general to the use of any other websites, or in relation to specific social networks that you use and have set up your own user account.

Google and many other third parties involved in displaying personalized behavioural advertising on the Internet
If you do not want to display personalized ads, you can use the initiative www.youronlinechoices.com. By controlling preferences, you can disable multiple cookies to display these ads in relation to the participating companies that use cookies. Turning them off does not mean that your ad will no longer be shown to you but will not be based on your behaviour.
Facebook (Meta)
If you have your own Facebook account, you can also use the cookie management controls integrated directly into this social network, which are available here.
At the same time, through the settings of your internet browser, it is possible to delete those cookies that are stored in your browser. Follow the information below, depending on which browser you’re using:

Do we transfer your data to third countries outside the EU / EEA?
Yes, but only in necessary and to a minimal extent. Some of our suppliers we use when using cookies, have their registered office or their other group companies are established in the United States of America, which are generally considered to be a third country which does not guarantee an adequate level of the personal data protection. In many cases, the data may not physically leave servers located in the EU but processing due to the supplier’s location may be subject to the law of a third country. We therefore carry out these cross-border transfers only in strict accordance with the law (in particular the GDPR) and only if, in our conclusions and findings, sufficient risk mitigation measures and safeguards are taken for the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects, as required by the Court of Justice in Case C-311/18 (Schrems II).

Is the storage of cookies on my device a contractual or legal requirement and what are the consequences if I prevent their storage?
The provision of any type of cookies, which we are processing is not a legal requirement and therefore their non-provision has no negative consequences with legal significance for you.
However, the processing of the necessary and functional cookies can be considered necessary for the provision of the digital services you are interested during visit and usage of our website. Non provision of such cookies may have certain effects on your experience and proper working of website functionalities and third party add-ons or plug-ins integrated to website. Basic website functionalities will always work but as the consequence may worse your comfort and optimal configuration of settings stemmed from your preferences and choices made in the past or in services provided by third parties.
In the case of all other types of cookies (e.g. analytics or advertisement), their provision is exclusively voluntary and is governed by the granting or non-granting of your consent. Failure to give this consent has no negative consequences for you.
How do we use cookies when managing our profiles on social networks?
Simple links are also available on our website, which allow immediate connection between our website and our profile established on a social network or other platform (among others Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, CrunchBase, G2.com). In these cases, these are not active plug-ins that would cause such data processing that would require the consent of logged-in or non-logged-in users of these social networks.
However, in the case of interaction with icons depicting individual social networks, the social network provider may process cookies and personal data, on which we do not have to have any control and influence. Vestberry is not responsible for the use of cookies realized by the social network provider for its own purposes. For more information on the processing of cookies, it is therefore necessary to familiarize yourself with the rules of their processing published by social network providers here:
Facebook / Instagram Cookie Policy

We also use the Meta Pixel and the Conversions API to ensure that our Facebook Ads match the potential interest of users and are not annoying.
