Your Privacy Matters
This Cookie Policy explains how VICE SEO ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website viceseo.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with GDPR and CCPA regulations.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners. Cookies help us understand how you use our site and improve your experience.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Necessary Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie preferences.
What this website stores today:
cookieConsent - Stores your cookie preferences. It is kept in your browser's local storage, not sent to our server.
accessibilitySettings - Stores the choices you make in the accessibility menu, in your browser's local storage.
vs:offer-shown and vs:lead-captured - Session storage entries that stop the free audit offer from appearing twice in one visit.
This website has no login area, so it does not currently set session or security cookies such as session_id (maintains your session state) or security_token (prevents CSRF attacks). If that changes, they will be listed here.
Duration: local storage entries stay until you clear your browser's site data. Session storage entries end when you close the tab.
2. Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our website and services.
Examples:
_ga - Google Analytics - Distinguishes users
_ga_Q9N0CBZYE9 - Google Analytics - Keeps the state of your visit
The older Google Analytics cookies _gid (distinguishes users) and _gat (throttles request rate) are not set by this website.
Duration: up to 2 years
3. Marketing Cookies (Optional)
These cookies track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness. They may be set by our advertising partners.
This website does not set any marketing cookies today. It does not load the Facebook Pixel, a Google Ads tag or any other advertising tag. The Marketing choice in our cookie notice controls the advertising signals of Google consent mode (ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization), which Google advertising tags obey.
Examples of this type of cookie:
_fbp - Facebook Pixel - Tracks conversions
ads_id - Google Ads - Measures ad performance
conversion_id - Tracks marketing conversions
Duration: 90 days to 2 years
4. Preference Cookies (Optional)
These cookies enable the website to remember information that changes the way it behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or region.
This website does not set any preference cookies today. The Preferences choice is saved with your other choices, but nothing on the website reads it yet.
Examples of this type of cookie:
language - Stores language preference
region - Stores location preference
theme - Stores display preferences
Duration: 1 year
Third-Party Cookies

Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have full control over which cookies you accept. You can manage your preferences in several ways:
1. Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner where you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences.
The notice offers four categories: Necessary (always on), Analytics, Marketing and Preferences. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage under the name cookieConsent. If you choose "Reject all", or switch Analytics off, Google Analytics storage is denied through Google consent mode, so Google Analytics does not read or write cookies on your device. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics and advertising storage start switched off until you make a choice. For other visitors Google Analytics runs until you reject it.
You can change your mind at any time: use the button below, or the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page.
