Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels and tags) do comparable jobs. Together they let a site remember something between page views, recognise a returning visitor, or measure how a page performed.

This policy covers cookies and similar technologies used on this website. Cookies set inside the Vanda Analytics platform are covered by the notice presented there.

We use cookies to make the site work, to remember your preferences, and to understand which of our pages are useful to the professional audience we write for. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles of individuals, and we do not sell data collected through cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies are set as soon as you arrive, because the site cannot function without them. Everything else is set only after you agree to it.

Every cookie on the site belongs to one of four categories.

Strictly necessary. Security, load balancing, session integrity, and remembering your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off and are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a working, secure site.

Preference. Remembering choices you have made, such as a region or a display setting, so you do not have to set them again. Set only with your consent.

Analytics. Aggregate measurement of how the site is used: which pages are read, how visitors arrive, and where journeys break down. We use this to improve the site's performance and content. Set only with your consent.

Marketing. Measuring the performance of our advertising and recognising a returning visitor, so we do not repeat the same message. Set only with your consent.

We use three third-party tools. Each operates under its provider's own terms and privacy policy, linked below.

Google Tag Manager (Google LLC) manages how and when the other tools on this site load. It applies your consent choices, so analytics and marketing tags run only if you have agreed to them. Tag Manager does not set cookies of its own or collect data about you for its own purposes. Google Privacy Policy

Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) is our analytics tool. It helps us understand site traffic, sessions, traffic sources and how pages perform, so we can improve the site. We review this information in aggregate and do not use it to identify individual visitors. Google acts as our processor for this data. Analytics data is retained for [2/14] months. Google Privacy Policy · How Google uses information from sites that use its services

LinkedIn Insight Tag (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company for visitors in the UK, EEA and Switzerland; LinkedIn Corporation elsewhere) is a marketing tool. It measures the performance of our LinkedIn advertising and gives us aggregated insight into the professional characteristics of our visitors, such as industry and job function. LinkedIn does not share the identity of individual visitors with us. For data collected through the tag, Vanda Research Limited and LinkedIn are joint controllers, and LinkedIn is solely responsible for its own subsequent use of that data. LinkedIn Privacy Policy · LinkedIn Cookie Policy

Pages that embed third-party content, such as a video or a social post, may allow that third party to set cookies when the content loads. Where consent is required, we ask for it before loading the embedded content.

A full inventory (each cookie's name, the party that sets it, its purpose and its duration) is maintained in the consent tool available from the cookie preferences link on this site, and is refreshed whenever the site is scanned. We publish it there rather than here so that the list you read is the list that is actually running.

Vanda Research Limited, registered in England and Wales, is the controller of personal data collected through cookies on this site, except where a provider is named in section 04 as a joint controller.

Our audience is professional. We recognise that business information, such as a work email address or job title, is still personal data, and we treat it accordingly.

Our visitors and clients are based around the world, and our providers may process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, the transfer is protected by the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or by the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the standard contractual clauses, as applicable.

When you first visit, no analytics or marketing cookies are set until you make a choice. You can accept all, reject all, or choose by category. You can change your choice at any time from the cookie preferences link in the site footer.

Withdrawing consent stops further use of the relevant cookies. It does not delete data already collected, which you can ask us about under our Privacy Policy.

You can also control cookies in your browser: block them, delete them, or be warned before one is set. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the site. Browser settings apply per device and per browser, so a choice made on a desktop does not carry over to a phone.

Google offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics across all websites. LinkedIn members can manage advertising preferences in their LinkedIn account settings.

We update this policy when the cookies or tools we use change. The date at the head of the page is the date of the current version. Questions about cookies, or about the data they collect, can go to marketing@vanda.com.
