Cookies Policy
Last updated: April 2026
This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on the Vertis Peak website, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They're widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners about how visitors use their sites.
Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser). They can be set by the website you're visiting ("first-party cookies") or by other services that provide content on that site ("third-party cookies").
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes, which we've organised into the following categories:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, certain features would not work. Essential cookies include:
- Cookie consent: Remembers your cookie preferences so you're not asked repeatedly
- Security cookies: Help protect against security threats and maintain site integrity
- Session management: Maintain your session as you navigate between pages
These cookies cannot be disabled as they're required for basic site operation.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the site and provide better service. These cookies may track:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- How you arrived at our website (search engine, direct visit, etc.)
- General geographic location (country/city level)
- Device and browser type
- Navigation patterns through the site
Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can opt out of analytics cookies through our cookie preferences panel.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to deliver content more relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of our communications. These cookies might:
- Track whether you've visited from a particular campaign or source
- Help us understand which content resonates with visitors
- Enable remarketing to show relevant content on other platforms
We currently use limited marketing cookies. You can opt out through our cookie preferences panel.

Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you disable or delete cookies, some features of our website may not function as intended:
- Your cookie preferences won't be remembered, so you may see the consent banner repeatedly
- Some interactive features may not work properly
- We won't be able to track issues with our website to improve your experience
Disabling cookies won't prevent you from accessing our content or contacting us.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that sends a signal to websites requesting they don't track your browsing. Our website respects these signals where technically possible, treating them as a request to disable analytics and marketing cookies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookies policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. If we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we'll notify you through our cookie banner and ask for fresh consent where required.
