What VALO Tech writes to your browser — on this site and in the investor hall — when, and why. The list is short, and two things on it are sent back to us with your requests: the session cookie and the language you choose in the investor hall. If you turn Analytics on, Google Analytics writes two cookies more; your browser sends those back as well, as it does every cookie, and only Google's script uses them.
What can be stored
| What | When it is set | Category |
|---|---|---|
| A note that the opening animation has played | When you first arrive, unless your system asks for reduced motion | Necessary |
| Language preference | When you choose a language | Necessary |
| Session cookie | After you sign in to the investor hall | Necessary |
| Your answer about what may be stored | When you answer the banner | Necessary |
| Two Google Analytics cookies, telling one visit from the next | Only after you turn Analytics on | Analytics |
The three categories
Every VALO site uses the same three, so the posture you meet on one of them is the posture on all of them.
Nothing optional is loaded
Not loaded and then switched off — not loaded at all. A script that arrives and afterwards checks a setting has already made its request, and the request is the part you would have been agreeing to.
Clearing what is there
Your browser's own site-data control removes all of it. The animation note lasts only until you close your browser; signing out of the investor hall ends the session cookie; choosing a language again replaces the language preference, and the hall's language cookie otherwise lasts a year; and turning Analytics off removes the two analytics cookies at once, rather than leaving them to expire two years later.
What the investor hall records is not this
Signed in, the hall records which documents you have opened, so it can show you what is new since you were last there, and the language you choose there, so the mail about your account reaches you in it. Those are account records about a named person rather than cookies or measurements, and the hall's own privacy notice covers them.
