Policy · updated 2 November 2026
Cookie Policy
This policy explains how ViewCyber Digital uses cookies and similar technologies, what they are used for, and how you can control them in your browser.
Scope
This page covers every cookie and similar storage technology set by viewcyber.digital, including local storage used for interface preferences.
Advertising
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not track visitors across other websites.
Your control
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies. You can change your choice at any time in browser settings.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They allow a site to remember information between pages or between visits, such as a preference setting. Similar technologies, including local storage, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy.
A cookie on its own does not identify you by name. It usually holds a short value that the site can read back later, for example to keep a menu open or to record that you dismissed a notice. Cookies are set by the site you are visiting, and in some cases by a service the site relies on, which is explained further down this page.
How this site uses cookies
Cookies on this site support basic functionality, such as remembering interface preferences during a visit. Where analytics is in use, cookies help count visits and identify which pages are read, in aggregate form. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to track you across other websites.
Analytics data is read as totals rather than as individual visitor records. It tells us which guides are opened and which pages visitors leave quickly, which is how the resource gets revised. Nothing in that reporting is used to single out a person.
Reading
Page and section views
Counted in aggregate so we know which guides on scoping, platform choice and partner comparison are actually read.
Interface
Preference memory
Keeps a choice you made during the visit so the page does not reset between sections.
Security
Form protection
Helps a submitted message reach us without being duplicated by an accidental refresh.
Not used
Ad profiling
No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are placed from this site.
Types of cookies in use
Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working and cannot be switched off through the site itself. Preference cookies remember choices you make during a visit. Analytics cookies, where present, collect aggregated information about page use. The specific cookies set depend on which features are active at the time of your visit.
Strictly necessary
Required for the site to load and navigate
These handle page delivery, keep a session consistent while you move between articles, and protect submitted forms. They are set on first request and cannot be turned off through this site.
Preference
Remembers choices made during a visit
If you open or close a section, or dismiss a notice, the site can keep that state so the page does not reset while you read. They expire when the visit ends or shortly after.
Analytics
Aggregated reporting on page use
Where an analytics service is active, these cookies separate new visits from returning ones and show which articles are opened most. Reports are read as totals, not as a list of individuals. If analytics is not active at the time of your visit, no such cookie is set.
Storage
Local storage for small interface values
Some interface values are kept in local storage rather than in a cookie. The information stays in your browser, is not sent with every request, and can be cleared through the same browser settings used for cookies.
Third-party services
Where the site uses a third-party analytics or hosting service, that provider may set its own cookies and process technical data under its own policy. We choose providers that limit data collection to what is needed for site operation and measurement.
Links to other websites are governed by those sites' policies, not this one. If you follow a link away from viewcyber.digital, the cookies set by that destination are outside our control, and we cannot read or delete them for you.
What we check
- Whether the provider collects more than page-level measurement
- Whether data is retained longer than the reporting needs
- Whether settings can be changed without reworking the site
- Whether the provider's own policy is readable and current
Managing cookies in your browser
All major browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site works. Browser help pages describe the exact steps for each browser, and private browsing modes typically discard cookies when the session ends.
How do I check which cookies are stored?
Open your browser settings and look for the section on privacy, site data or cookies. Most browsers list stored cookies by website and show the name, the site that set it and the expiry date. From the same list you can delete individual entries or clear everything for one site.
What happens if I block everything?
Blocking every cookie is allowed, but it can change how a site behaves. On this site the articles stay readable, while preferences you set during a visit may reset between pages and a submitted message may be treated as a new request. Blocking only third-party cookies usually leaves the reading experience intact.
Do I need to clear cookies after every visit?
No. Cookies from this site hold small technical values and expire on their own. Clearing them occasionally is a reasonable habit on shared devices, and private browsing does it automatically when the session closes.
Does this policy cover the privacy policy?
No, the two documents answer different questions. This page is limited to cookies and similar storage. The privacy policy sets out the wider handling of personal data, including what happens to a message you send us. Both are worth reading if you want the full picture.
Consent and changes
Where consent is required for non-essential cookies, it is requested before those cookies are set, and you can change your choice later through your browser settings. This policy may be updated if the cookies in use change. The version published on this page is the current one.
If a new tool is added to the site and it sets cookies that were not described here, this page is revised before or at the same time as the change. The revision date at the top of the page tells you when the text was last reviewed, so you can see whether you are reading the current version.
