What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help pages function, remember preferences, and — if you allow — understand how the site is used.

How we use cookies

We use essential cookies to remember your cookie preference and keep basic site functions working. We use analytics cookies only if you accept them through the consent banner. Rejecting analytics does not block access to assessments information, forms, or content.

Essential preference storage is implemented via localStorage under the key datavectorbase_cookie_consent in addition to any cookie mechanisms used by analytics providers when enabled.

Managing cookies

You can Accept or Reject non-essential cookies via the banner on first visit. To change your mind later, clear site data for datavectorbase.digital in your browser, then reload the page to see the banner again. You may also block cookies in browser settings; essential preference storage may then reset on each visit.

Third-party cookies

If analytics are accepted, Google may set cookies described above. Their processing is governed by Google’s policies in addition to our privacy policy.

Impact of disabling

Rejecting or blocking analytics cookies does not remove access to service pages, journals, or the contact form. Some visit statistics will simply be unavailable to us. Blocking all storage may cause the consent banner to reappear frequently.
