VANGUARDTECH · TRUST & TRANSPARENCY
Cookie Policy
Essential browser storage, optional Google Analytics and choices you can change.
Effective 16 October 2026 · Version 34
1. Your choices
Essential storage supports operation, security and remembering consent. Optional preferences and analytics default off. Accept all enables them; Essential only leaves them off; Customise allows individual choices.
2. What is stored
The vanguardtech_cookie_consent_v1 local-storage record remembers category choices, version and update time. Removing it causes the site to ask again.
Google Analytics can use first-party _ga cookies after opt-in. Its tag is not loaded before analytics consent. This is separate from the Google account a VPulse customer connects to inspect their own website.
3. Withdrawing consent
Use Cookie settings in the footer or the floating control. Turning analytics off disables configured analytics collection and attempts to remove accessible first-party Google Analytics cookies. Reloading completes the return to essential-only loading.
Withdrawal does not erase historical data already lawfully collected or cookies this site cannot access. Browser storage controls are also available.
4. Providers and contact
Google can process analytics information internationally under applicable safeguards and its policies. WhatsApp shares your enquiry only when you choose to send it. Separate hosting and VPulse have their own settings.
Cookie/privacy enquiries: info@vanguardtech.co.za. See the Privacy Policy and POPIA request page. Tool or purpose changes will be reflected in an updated notice.
