VitalMove Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies enable a website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don't have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

They can also be used to collect data for analytics, personalize content, and provide targeted advertising. Without certain types of cookies, some functionalities of our website might not work as intended, and your browsing experience could be less convenient.

How VitalMove Uses Cookies

At VitalMove, we utilize cookies for several purposes to enhance your experience, ensure the security of our services, and understand how our website is being used. Our use of cookies falls into several categories, each serving a specific function to make your visit seamless and effective.

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are fundamental for the operation of our website, enabling core functionalities like secure login, shopping cart features, and payment processing. Without these, the site cannot function properly.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: We use these to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, and if they receive error messages from web pages. This data helps us improve the performance and usability of our site.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
• Targeting and Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission.

By understanding how you interact with our site, we can continually refine our services to better meet your needs and offer a more personalized browsing experience.

Types of Cookies VitalMove Uses

To provide a comprehensive understanding of our cookie usage, we categorize the cookies we deploy based on their duration and ownership:

Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser only until you leave the site. They are often used for things like remembering items in a shopping cart or maintaining your login status during a single session.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for a longer period (how long depends on the lifetime of the specific cookie). They are used for things like remembering your preferences, analyzing site usage, and providing personalized content or advertisements.

First-Party Cookies vs. Third-Party Cookies

• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by the website you are visiting (VitalMove.com). They typically support core site functionality and analytics directly related to our own services.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies set by a domain other than that of the website you are visiting. This occurs when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins, or advertising. Third-party cookies allow these external services to track your browsing activity across different websites.

Third-Party Cookies on VitalMove

VitalMove partners with various third-party services to enhance our website's functionality, provide relevant content, and support our marketing efforts. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device when you visit our site. While we carefully select our partners, we do not have direct control over the specific cookies they set or how they use the information collected.

Common third-party cookies you might encounter on VitalMove include those from:

• Analytics Providers: Services like Google Analytics help us understand website traffic and user behavior. They collect anonymous data on page views, session duration, and user demographics.
• Social Media Platforms: If we integrate social media features (e.g., share buttons, embedded feeds), platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram may set cookies to track your interactions.
• Advertising Networks: To display personalized ads, advertising partners may use cookies to collect information about your browsing habits across different websites.
• Embedded Content: When we embed videos from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo, or maps from Google Maps, these services may set cookies.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party providers to understand their data practices.
