This Cookie Policy explains how Vantage Circle uses cookies and similar technologies in the course of our business, through our website vantagecircle.com. It explains what these technologies are, and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

This policy is drafted in compliance with applicable data protection laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), California Penal Code §638.51, and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act). Pen register type technologies (including Meta Pixel and LinkedIn Insight Tag) are not activated before explicit user consent is obtained from California visitors.

1. What Is a Cookie?

Cookies are small text files that a website asks the user's browser to save on the user's system or device when a user visits the website, in order to remember the user's device upon revisiting the website or during the session.

• First-party cookies — set by the domain vantagecircle.com directly.
• Third-party cookies — set by other domains than the website you are visiting, generally used for marketing and advertising purposes.

1. To analyze your use of our website
2. For promotional and marketing purposes
3. To understand your preferences such as preferred language
4. To deliver information that matches your interests
5. To help us understand our audience and traffic patterns

4. Cookie List

The table below provides details on the specific cookies used on vantagecircle.com.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our websites to support functions such as logging in and payment transactions.

Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store direct personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies enable us to provide additional functions to you on our site such as personalization and remembering your saved preferences.

Performance Cookies

Performance cookies gather data on how visitors use a website — which pages are visited most often, or if they get error messages. These cookies monitor only the performance of the site as the user interacts with it. All the data collected is anonymous and only used to improve the functionality of a website.

Any cookie whose purpose has not yet been fully identified is listed as an Unclassified Cookie. We are actively reviewing such cookies and will update this policy accordingly.

Microsoft Clarity (Session Recording)

Our website uses Microsoft Clarity, a session recording and behaviour analytics tool operated by Microsoft Corporation. Clarity captures mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, and page interactions. Personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive form inputs are automatically masked and are not recorded. Session recordings are only activated after a visitor has explicitly accepted our cookie banner.

5. Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors on a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our websites or opened an email including these. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and hence, declining cookies will impair their functioning.

6. How Can I Control Cookie Preferences?

Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. However, you may remove or reject cookies in your browser's settings. Removing or rejecting cookies may affect the performance of the website.

Non-essential cookies (including analytics, advertising, and targeting cookies) are only placed after obtaining your explicit consent through our cookie banner. No targeting or analytics cookies — including Meta Pixel and LinkedIn Insight Tag — will be activated until you actively accept the banner. You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time by clicking Decline on the cookie consent banner or through the cookie preference centre on vantagecircle.com.
