Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember information about your visit — such as your preferences and which pages you've already seen — so your next visit is smoother.

2. How VentAir Core uses cookies

• Essential functionality — remembering your cookie-consent choice and preserving filter and sort preferences on the reviews page.
• Analytics — understanding which articles and products visitors find useful, so we can improve our reviews and navigation.
• Affiliate tracking — when you click an affiliate link to a retailer (such as via the eBay Partner Network), a cookie is set by the retailer (not by us) so they can credit VentAir Core with the referral.

3. Cookie categories we set

Strictly necessary

• vac_cookie_v2 — records whether you accepted or declined cookies. 1-year expiry.

Analytics & performance

• _ga, _gid, _gat — Google Analytics. Anonymised visitor counts, pages visited, and time on site. We do not receive any personally identifiable information from these.

Advertising & affiliate

• When you click through to a retailer partner via one of our affiliate links, that retailer may place its own cookies on your browser for the sole purpose of attributing the referral. We have no access to the contents of those cookies.

4. Third-party cookies

• Google Analytics — traffic measurement. See Google's privacy policy.
• Retailer affiliate programmes — each retailer's privacy policy governs any cookies they set.

We do not sell data to advertisers, and we do not participate in behavioural ad networks that build cross-site profiles.

5. How to control cookies

• Via our banner — click Decline on the consent banner the first time you visit. We will only set strictly-necessary cookies, and the site will continue to function.
• Via your browser — all modern browsers let you block or delete cookies under their privacy settings.
• Opt out of Google Analytics — install the official opt-out browser add-on.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology or regulations. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
