Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and deliver a more consistent experience across visits. Some cookies are essential for the site to work; others are optional and serve specific purposes like analytics or personalisation.
Verdian's website uses a small number of cookies — we don't serve advertising and have no interest in tracking you beyond what's necessary to understand how our content performs.
Cookie Types We Use
Essential Cookies
Always active
Required for the site to function. These handle your cookie consent preference itself, so the banner doesn't appear on every page. Cannot be disabled.
Duration: Session or up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies
Optional
Help us understand how visitors navigate the site — which pages are read, how long sessions last, and where people come from. Data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Duration: Up to 26 months · Provider: Google Analytics (anonymised)
Marketing Cookies
Optional
Used to measure the effectiveness of any paid channels we run. If you arrive via a search ad and later contact us, these cookies help us understand the conversion path. No cross-site behavioural advertising is used.
Duration: Up to 90 days · Providers: Google Ads, Microsoft Clarity
Preference Cookies
Optional
Remember choices you make — such as language or display settings — so you don't need to reset them on each visit. We currently use these minimally.
Duration: Up to 12 months
Your Cookie Preferences
Use the toggles above to set your preferences, then save them below. Changes take effect immediately.
Third-Party Cookies
Some optional cookies are set by third-party services rather than directly by Verdian. If you enable analytics or marketing cookies, you may receive cookies from:
- Google Analytics — website usage analysis
- Google Ads — conversion measurement for paid search
- Microsoft Clarity — session recording for UX improvement (anonymised)
These providers have their own privacy policies governing their use of cookie data. Verdian does not control third-party data practices. If you reject optional cookies, none of these services will set cookies from your visit.
Cookie Duration
- Session cookies — expire when you close your browser. Used for basic site functionality.
- Persistent cookies — remain for a defined period (see individual cookie types above). Used for analytics and preference storage.
