Cookies Policy of Vertigo Realty

  1. Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the website www.vertigo.realty, operated by Vertigo Realty (“the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). It provides users with detailed information about the types of cookies we use, the purposes they serve, and how you can manage or disable them on your device. To ensure the optimal functionality and performance of our website, we sometimes place small data files on your device known as cookies. We do not store sensitive personal information—such as mailing addresses, passwords, or payment details—in the cookies we use. We are committed to protecting your privacy under the applicable data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). This policy is intended to inform you about how cookies are used every time you visit our website.

2. EU Cookie Law

Under EU law, websites that use cookies must inform users that cookies are being used, explain what the cookies do and why and obtain users’ explicit consent before storing cookies on their devices (except for strictly necessary cookies). The E-Privacy Directive (2002) first required transparency around cookie use. As of 26 May 2011, the law was updated to require user consent in addition to providing information. The introduction of the GDPR on 25 May 2018 further reinforced this requirement. Under GDPR, consent must be freely given, specific, informed, unambiguous and given through a clear affirmative action (e.g. clicking “Accept” on a cookie banner).

3. Definitions

For this Cookies Policy: “Company” refers to Vertigo Realty (also referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”). “Cookies” means small text files placed on your device by a website, which store information such as browsing history and user preferences. “Website” refers to the Vertigo Realty website, accessible at vertigo.realty. “You” refers to the individual accessing or using the Website, or the company or legal entity on behalf of which such individual is doing so.

4. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded and stored on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. These files allow the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit. Cookies serve several important functions, including, remembering login information, so you don’t need to re-enter it on each visit, enhancing your user experience by storing preferences such as language settings or video volume levels, enabling personalized content and advertisements, based on your browsing history and interests and analyzing site performance, helping website operators understand how users interact with their website. Cookies are commonly used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to website owners and advertising partners.

  1. What Is the Purpose of Cookies?

Cookies are designed to make interactions between users and websites faster, smoother, and more personalized. Without cookies, it would be challenging for websites to remember user preferences, maintain items in a shopping cart, or retain login and registration information for future visits. Cookies help improve the overall browsing experience by saving time and personalizing content, making website navigation more efficient, collecting anonymous demographic and behavioural data, and enabling websites to understand user interests and deliver relevant advertisements. They are also commonly used for marketing purposes to analyze browsing patterns and target users with advertisements tailored to their interests.

  1. Are Cookies Dangerous?

No. Cookies are simply small text files that store information. They are not executable programs and cannot run code, install software, or carry viruses. Modern web browsers, such as those developed by Microsoft or Google, provide users with the ability to manage cookie settings; including setting limits on how many cookies are stored and determining which websites can store them.

  1. Can Cookies Threaten Users’ Privacy?

Cookies themselves do not pose a direct threat to your privacy. They are stored locally on your device and can only transfer the information that you have voluntarily provided to a website. Cookies cannot access other data on your device, such as files or email addresses. However, some users may encounter cookies from third-party advertisers -often known as third-party cookies- even if they have never visited the originating website. This occurs when a website includes ads or content from an external service. These third-party cookies can be used to track browsing behaviour across multiple websites, often for advertising and profiling purposes. This cross-site tracking capability is a key reason why some users choose to reject or limit cookies, especially for privacy concerns. To address this, most modern browsers offer enhanced privacy controls, including the option to block third-party cookies altogether.

  1. Do We Use Other Cookies?

Yes, in addition to the cookies described above, our website may also use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking and storage technologies provided by third-party companies (“third-party cookies”). These technologies help us gather analytics and insights about website usage, and may also be used for advertising and audience measurement purposes. Our website may occasionally use different or additional cookies beyond those listed in this policy. In such cases, detailed information about these cookies will be provided on a relevant information page or during your visit. Where required, you will be asked to consent to the use of these cookies. Some of these third-party cookies may be placed on your device when you interact with content on our website provided by third parties, such as social media platforms. This may occur, for example, when you click a “share” button or view embedded content (e.g., videos) from platforms like Google, Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter. These third parties may place cookies on your device according to their policies and purposes.

Important Note: The website www.vertigo.realty, operated by the company “Vertigo Realty”, does not control third-party cookies and is not responsible for how those third parties handle your data. For more information, we recommend that you review the cookie policies of these external service providers directly.
