Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how CIURENIS IT LTD (operating VignPass at vignpass.eu) uses cookies and similar technologies on the Website, what each type does, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, keep you secure, and understand how the site is used. “Similar technologies” include local storage, pixels and tags that perform comparable functions. Cookies may be:

• First-party (set by vignpass.eu) or third-party (set by another organisation, such as Google);
• Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remaining for a set period).

2. Consent and Your Choices

When you first visit the Website, a cookie consent banner appears. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them and they do not require consent. Analytics and marketing cookies are only set if you give consent by accepting them in the banner. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time via the banner or the “Cookie settings” link, and through your browser settings.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These enable core functionality such as security, load balancing, maintaining your session and remembering your cookie choices. They cannot be switched off.

3.2 Analytics Cookies (consent required)

These help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it. They are only set if you consent.

3.3 Marketing / Advertising Cookies (consent required)

These are used to measure advertising performance and to deliver and attribute ads. They are only set if you consent.

Exact cookie names and durations may vary as third-party providers update their products; the categories and purposes remain as described.

4. Third-Party Cookies (Google Analytics and Google Ads)

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and usage patterns (for example, which pages are popular and how visitors navigate), so we can improve our service. We use Google Ads to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to understand when a visit leads to a purchase (conversion tracking). These services may set their own cookies and process data as described in their own policies. We only enable them where you have given consent.

5. Google Consent Mode v2

We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2. This means your cookie choices are communicated to Google’s tags so they adjust their behaviour accordingly:

• If you decline analytics or advertising cookies, the relevant Google tags operate in a restricted, consent-denied state: they do not read or write advertising/analytics cookies and rely only on privacy-preserving, aggregated and modelled signals where permitted.
• If you accept, the tags operate normally and may set cookies as described above.

Consent Mode v2 specifically governs the consent signals ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization, which are set to “denied” by default until you provide consent through our banner.

6. How to Manage Cookies

You can control cookies in two ways:

1. Our consent banner / “Cookie settings”: accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies at any time. Withdrawing consent stops further setting of those cookies.
2. Your browser: most browsers let you block or delete cookies via their settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the Website from working correctly.

For Google Analytics specifically, you may also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the law. The “Last updated” date shows the current version.
