1. Cookie Categories

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website, analyze site traffic, and deliver personalized advertising. Cookies are divided into three mandatory categories, each with distinct purposes and consent requirements.

1.1 Essential Cookies

Consent Required: No. Essential cookies are activated automatically as they are strictly necessary for site functionality.

Retention Period: Session duration for temporary cookies; up to 12 months for preference storage cookies.

1.2 Analytics Cookies

Purpose: Analytics cookies collect anonymized data about how visitors interact with our website, including page views, time spent on pages, navigation paths, device information, and behavioral patterns. This data helps us measure site performance, understand user preferences, and improve the overall user experience.

Tools: Google Analytics 4

Examples: _ga, _ga_XXXXXXX, _gid, _gat

Consent Required: Yes. Analytics cookies are activated only after you explicitly accept them through our cookie consent banner.

Consent Required: Yes. Marketing and advertising cookies are activated only after you explicitly accept them through our cookie consent banner or preferences panel.

Retention Period: Up to 540 days, which is the default retention period for Google Ads conversion tracking cookies.

2. Marketing Cookies — Mandatory Disclosures

The following statements provide complete transparency about how marketing and advertising cookies operate on our website and what data is collected and shared with third-party advertising partners.

2.1 Third-Party Ad Serving

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this website and other sites on the internet. These cookies enable cross-site tracking that allows advertisers to display relevant advertisements as you browse other websites within their advertising networks.

2.2 Advertising Partners

We work with advertising partners such as Google and Meta to deliver advertisements tailored to your interests across various websites and platforms. These partners use cookies, pixels, and other tracking technologies to collect data about your online behavior, which is then used to determine which advertisements are most likely to be relevant to you.

2.3 Remarketing Services

We use remarketing services to advertise to previous visitors of our website. After visiting our site, you may see our advertisements on other websites, mobile apps, or digital platforms you visit. Remarketing allows us to re-engage users who have shown interest in our services by displaying targeted ads that encourage return visits or conversion actions.

2.4 YouTube and Display Network

Advertisements may appear across Google services including YouTube, Gmail, and the Google Display Network. This means you may encounter DataVision Analytics advertisements while watching videos on YouTube, checking your Gmail inbox, or browsing websites that participate in Google's advertising network.

2.5 Tracking Technologies

We use the following tracking technologies on this website:

  • Cookies (both first-party cookies set by DataVision Analytics and third-party cookies set by advertising partners)
  • Tracking pixels (including Google Ads gtag.js and Meta Pixel)
  • Device identifiers (such as browser fingerprints and IP addresses)
  • Conversion event tags that record specific user actions on our website

2.6 Advertising Measurement

We use conversion tracking to understand which advertisements lead to actions on our website, such as form submissions, phone calls, or purchases. This measurement capability allows us to evaluate campaign effectiveness, optimize advertising spend, and allocate budget to the channels that generate the best return on investment. Conversion data may be shared with Google Ads and Meta to improve targeting algorithms and reporting accuracy.

2.7 Technologies in Use

The following advertising and analytics technologies are currently active on this website:

  • Google Ads (gtag.js / Google Tag Manager)
  • Google Analytics 4
  • Google Remarketing Tag
  • Meta Pixel (Facebook / Instagram advertising platform)

2.8 Opt-Out from Personalized Advertising

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time through the following mechanisms:

Please note that opting out of personalized advertising does not remove advertisements entirely. You will continue to see non-personalized advertisements that are not based on your browsing behavior or interests.

2.9 Cookie Preference Management

A clearly visible link labeled "Manage cookie preferences" is available in the footer of every page on this website. Clicking this link opens a preferences panel where you can accept or reject each cookie category independently. Essential cookies remain active at all times, but you have full control over analytics and marketing cookies.

3. Consent Requirements

3.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner in the bottom-right corner of your screen. This banner provides three options:

  • Accept All Cookies: Activates all cookie categories including essential, analytics, and marketing cookies.
  • Reject Non-Essential: Activates only essential cookies; analytics and marketing cookies remain disabled.
  • Manage Preferences: Opens a detailed preferences panel where you can selectively enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies.

The consent banner does not block page content and can be dismissed without making a selection. However, if you dismiss the banner without accepting, only essential cookies will be active. A direct link to this Privacy Policy is included in the consent banner text for your convenience.

3.2 Consent Statement

By clicking "Accept All Cookies," you consent to the storing of cookies on your device for analytics and advertising purposes, including personalized advertising delivered by Google and Meta. Your consent preferences are stored in your browser's local storage for a period of 12 months. You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preferences panel without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

3.3 EEA and UK Users

Users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom receive this consent notice in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. Marketing and analytics cookies are activated solely after explicit, informed, freely given consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Your consent is recorded with a timestamp and may be audited upon request to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.

3.4 Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Manage cookie preferences" in the website footer, or by clearing cookies via your browser settings. Withdrawing consent will disable analytics and marketing cookies immediately, but does not affect data processing that occurred while consent was valid. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Google Ads conversion tracking records when a user completes a defined action, such as submitting a form, making a phone call, or completing a purchase, after clicking one of our advertisements. This data is used solely for measuring advertising campaign performance and optimizing our marketing spend.

Google Remarketing allows us to show advertisements to previous visitors across Google's advertising network, including the Google Display Network and YouTube. Remarketing lists are not created from sensitive data categories such as health information, financial status, religion, or sexual orientation.

We do not use the Meta Pixel to collect sensitive personal data, nor do we target users based on health status, financial situation, religion, political views, sexual orientation, or any other special-category attribute prohibited under Meta's advertising policies.

Meta acts as an independent data controller for data collected via its Pixel and processed within its own platform. Refer to Meta's Data Policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy for detailed information about how Meta handles your data.
