This cookie policy explains how VanHack ("we", "our" or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies in the Platform and our other online services.

What are cookies and why do we use them?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser’s memory by our websites. They are commonly used to support various functions on our websites.

Necessary cookies secure your session and keep the Platform working. With your permission, optional analytics cookies also help us understand which screens are useful and improve the product.

We do not send names, email addresses, searches or record identifiers to Google Analytics. Platform URLs and page titles are reduced to route templates before measurement. Google may still process technical information such as browser, device, approximate location and interaction data, which may be treated as personal data.

Depending on the job the cookie needs to perform, it may be a session or persistent cookie:

• Persistent cookies are retained on your device until you either erase them or your browser erases them when the cookie reaches its expiration date.
• Session cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser or once your session ends.

What type of cookies do we use?

Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Platform cannot securely operate without them. Google Analytics cookies are optional and are created only after you choose Allow analytics. Choosing Necessary only does not load the Google tag.
