How VornelCrest uses cookies: strictly necessary, performance and functionality categories explained

What cookies are and how we use them

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and to remember certain information about your preferences or activity. VornelCrest uses cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to understand how visitors use the site and to improve the overall experience for users. We do not use cookies to identify you personally without your consent, and we do not use cookies to serve you targeted advertising.

We use three categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off; performance cookies, which help us understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting anonymous statistical information; and functionality cookies, which remember choices you have made — such as your newsletter subscription status — to provide a more personalised experience. Each category is described in more detail in the sections below.

Managing your cookie preferences

When you first visit VornelCrest, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of any page. Please note that disabling certain categories of cookies may affect the functionality of the website — for example, some features of the research assistant may not work correctly if functionality cookies are disabled.

In addition to managing cookies through our consent tool, you can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete and block cookies from specific websites. Instructions for managing cookies in the most common browsers are available on the Information Commissioner's Office website at ico.org.uk. If you clear your cookies, your preferences will be reset and you will be asked to make your choices again on your next visit.

Third-party cookies and updates to this policy

Some features of the VornelCrest website may involve third-party services that set their own cookies. Where this is the case, those cookies are governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the relevant third parties, not by this policy. We take care to work only with third-party providers whose data practices meet appropriate standards, and we review these relationships regularly. A list of the third-party services we currently use is available on request.

This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our use of cookies or in applicable law. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated whenever material changes are made. We encourage you to review this policy from time to time so that you remain informed about how we use cookies. If you have questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected].
