Cookie Policy
This Policy explains how STC VeriShield may use cookies and similar technologies to operate, protect, understand, and improve the website.
The exact technologies used depend on the active WordPress, hosting, form, analytics, portal, and embedded-content configuration.
Website technology and preference information
This Policy describes common technology categories and the choices that may be available.
1What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small data files stored by a browser or device. Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, tags, pixels, scripts, software development tools, and server logs.
These technologies can support page delivery, security, forms, preferences, analytics, embedded content, and other website functions.
2Categories That May Be Used
The categories below describe possible uses. The exact names, providers, and duration depend on the current website configuration.
| Category | Purpose | Typical Duration | Choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Security, page delivery, session handling, form operation, and core site functions. | Session or limited persistent period | Generally required for the requested function. |
| Functional | Remember preferences, display settings, or selected options. | Session or persistent | May be controlled through browser or consent settings. |
| Performance and Analytics | Understand page use, traffic, errors, and site performance. | Varies by provider | May be controlled when a consent tool is enabled. |
| Security | Detect suspicious activity, protect forms, limit abuse, and support authentication. | Session or persistent | Some may be necessary for protection. |
| Embedded Content | Support maps, videos, forms, portals, or external tools displayed on a page. | Set by the external provider | May be controlled by provider or browser settings. |
3Third-Party Providers
WordPress components, hosting services, security tools, forms, analytics tools, maps, videos, portals, and embedded resources may place or read their own technologies.
A third-party provider controls its own technology according to its terms and privacy practices.
4Your Choices
- Use the site’s consent controls when available.
- Adjust browser settings to block, delete, or limit stored data.
- Use private browsing or device-level tracking controls.
- Avoid optional embedded content when you do not want the external provider to receive connection data.
5Browser Signals
The treatment of browser-based preference signals depends on the technologies, consent tools, and legal requirements applicable to the Site at the time of the visit.
6Cookie Inventory and Review
A current technical scan should be completed before publication and after major changes to the theme, plugins, forms, analytics, portal, advertising, hosting, or embedded content.
The final published policy should identify material providers and technologies actually present on the Site.
7Policy Updates
This Policy may be revised as the Site, providers, technologies, or legal requirements change. The updated date will be revised when changes are posted.
